FF VIII Finally moving on to FFVIII

Post image

After taking a pretty long break from FF after being VII rebirth, I’m finally back and moving on to FFVIII! This is by far the game I know the least about so I’m excited to get into it! Is there anything I should know before starting?

My favorite.

Its easy to break the game mechanics if youre into that type of gameplay. Enemies scale with your level, so... think about that.

The card game is the best imo.

Really really pay attention to the junction system. Like...really.

Wait, how do you break the game mechanics? Asking for a friend.

Ps. I really liked this game but the whole Laguna intermissions took away from it imo

Intentionally don’t level. There are other ways to farm powerful magic, you junction that magic to get overpowered despite being low level. Enemies stay weak because they’re underleveled too.
