Umm... I may be dumb but I'm curious where to go to find the ending video for FFVIII. I totally rushed through the game, espeicially after the space fiasco. I mean, I fought Ultimescia with only two extra GFs (besides Shiva, Quezacoatl, and Ifrit and oh yeah Odin too). Anyway, each time I fight her, Greivor kills me. I think the main reason is because I didn't level up enough and once you get to the castle there's nothing you can do. I'm in the process of replaying the game through getting everything, but I want to watch the ending. I looked online but only found one site but I couldn't download/watch from it. Anyone know a site?

I doubt you will be able to find any site (at least free) that has the final FMV since it's very big.
As far as my knowledge goes you have 2 options:
1.- Download it from a P2P file sharing program (Kazaa, imesh).
Or:
2.- There are programs that will let you extract a FMV from the disc. With this programs you can extract the .str files (FMV's file format) and convert them in to avi's.
I use PSmplay you can download it from here:

Good luck :)

Thanks for the info. The first site I foundhad these 4 downloading 'mirrors'. One you had to pay to use, one was always down, one always had error messages, and one kept claiming it was over it's downloading limit.

Anyway, in my continued search, I found another site. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks promising. It has a collection of movies from FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, and a variety of other games (the movies are divided up because the files are large. The only down side is that the movies you can download rotate monthly.

If you want to check it out, it's at:

if that doesnt work, a P2P is highly recommened. You'll get a lot more results and be able to resume whenever you want. I recommened WinMx, no spyware.

Anyway, before you dl those videos from a website and if you're on a dial up, I recommened downloading Get Right, that way you can resume and you dont have to download it in one chunk, and if you get disconnected you wont have to worry about losing what your partial download.

I kinda feel stupid for bashing the one site. The 'http' mirror DOES work, but you can only use it once meaning if it messes up or you want to watch another, you have to wait a whole day. It also is pretty slow, I have high speed internet and it still probably took a good five to ten mintes to load. I dunno, maybe I'm just exaggerating...

The site's at:

It also has a variety of other FF games too.
