    Oh gawd, those were soooo hard I hated them!!!! I did good until I got to the section with Ruby Dragons, then Iron Giants >.<

    ...but there's a way where you don't have to do that. I forget how, but if you pick the right numbers, you can go to a secret room that recharges the power thingy so you can spend more on the bottom without Zell breaking the machine :P

    The strategy guide has what you're talking about in it.

    Lord knows I'm never doing Lionheart so early in the game again; the earliest I've done it is disc 2, and even that was a total bore.

    The only actual section I don't like is the final Laguna dream sequence. Zzzzzzz...
    Such things are not necessary unless you want to level Seifer to 60-ish at the exam or boost everyone's stats at the end of the game. You can get any magic regardless of your levels.

    I disagree about the Dollet exam, I thought that was great! What with the FMV's in the background and the like. I found it very exciting.

    I find that all the things I did not like at all came from the first half of disc 2. The Prison was the absolute worst. Then came Galbadia Missile Base mission, which I found terribly boring. It started to get a little better after that, but it wasn't until the basketball court scene that the game really started to get awesome.




    I'm a lazy sod.

    Isn't Jack the first member of the CC group you encounter? I have an horrible memory for names. If it is the first one, make sure you've won at least 15 games in BG and find a male cadet around the directory.

    If it is the other guy I'm thinking about, it's a male SeeD (I think?) that walks between the cafeteria, the dormitory, and the parking lot. If he's not there, just leave and re-enter the area a couple of times until you see him around.

    Yeah, you're right!
    Plus I do not like the card game too. The part when I have to search for some people to be challenged is so boring... , especially if I cannot find him

    I've played through Final Fantasy VIII so many times, all the scenes are a little kind of repetitive and boring. But I'll try to dig back to the first moment I picked up that PS controller and placed that shiny disc into the disc reader.

    In chronological order, (Warning, Minor Spoilers)

    Best Scenes

    Dollet Field Exam - Dude, that scene where Squall looks up from the boat just takes the freakin' cake.

    Exploring Timber for the first time - It was nice. A real actual town to explore in.

    Galbadian Garden - Nice plotline development. And Irvine's an idiot.

    Deling City Assassination - One of the best parts in the game. Except the sewer part.

    Missile Base - Some of the stuff they say is just way too funny, depending on the party members you choose to infiltrate with.

    Balamb Garden at FH - Choosing a band and that whole Squall + Rinoa scene was way too cool.

    Balamb Garden VS Galbadia Garden - Another top notch scene I'd play again any day.

    Lunar Base - Nice plot development. And seeing Riona like that made my heart bleed.

    Ragnarok - Music was awesome, Propagators are scary, and tough. But it's a test of your strength, and the reward is amazing.

    Lunatic Pandora - I loved the opening scene where Ragnarok totally pwnz the shields.

    Fighting Jumbo Cactuar - Leviathan ftw. And Cactuar = 20AP ea. ftw.

    Fighting Bahamut and Ultima Weapon - Pure awesome intense fighting. The questions were a little gay, though, and the whole stairs down to the bottom to Ultima Weapon were just killer.

    P.S What is with everyone grinding up to level 60? Don't you know that enemies level with you? Your actually putting yourself at a disadvantage if your high level. I beat the game at like, level 30. It's just good magic to junction with, and AP for great GF skills, that's all you need to do good in the game.

    Shumi Village side quest, Trabia basketball court sequence and Rinoa floating in space for several minutes bore me

    I like the challenge of being level 100, people are too scared to have a tough battle. If you have the efficient and best junctions, then you're basically unbeatable.
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
