Confusion: Victim loses control and spins around in circles, attacking random targets (enemies, allies, even itself). Blind: Victim loses sight, causing him/her to miss most hits. Berserk: Player loses control and performs only physical attacks against a random enemy each turn, with slightly enhanced speed and strength. Aura: Affected character can use Limit Breaks regardless of HP. Junctioning various magics can defend against or attack with a status. When a character has a particular status, he/she behaves differently from normal. You can raise compatibility in many ways: by summoning the GF, by healing it, by using the same elemental magic that the GF uses, and by using various items.įF8 has a status system, like all the other Final Fantasies. Compatibility refers to how much a GF "likes" the character it's junctioned to and affects how long it takes to summon a GF in battle. "Boost" is an ability you should learn early on, as it will increase a GF's attack power. Abilities can also be learned instantly using various items that you find or buy. Some abilities are upgrades to others, so you can clear those using the item Amnesia Greens to make way for better ones. GFs have the potential to learn many abilities, but can only "know" 22 at a time. Each GF can only learn one ability at a time, and you need to set this in the menu. They also gain AP, which goes towards learning new abilities. GFs grow the same way you do, through EXP. Character Ablilities are additional bonuses to your characters' stats and such. It's a good idea to have at least one person with Draw, one with Magic, and one with Item. Command Abilities are available to your character during battle. Next, make sure you select Command and Character Abilities. It's important for raising a character's stats, but not so important that you need to fiddle with it yourself just select the Auto option and let the computer do it. After selecting a GF, you need to junction magic. Available GFs will be displayed in white (you can't junction to multiple characters). To junction a GF, access the menu and select Junction. In fact, junctioning is pretty much required, as it's the only way to access most commands. GFs are not only summonable creatures, but through the junction system they can increase a character's stats. While summoned creatures are not new to the Final Fantasy series, the concept and function of Guardian Forces (or GFs) is new to Final Fantasy VIII. When a GF levels up, it also gets a new ability. GFs only gain AP if they were junctioned during a battle. This is basically EXP for your Guardian Forces. Under the box that says Status is how much experience is needed to get to the next level.ĪP stands for Ability Points. To the right, just next to the box that says Status, is the character's total experience. Under the character's name, it says LVxx, where xx is the level. 
You can check your character's total experience, level, and amount of experience to go to the next level by accessing the menu and selecting Status. Going up a level increases that character's stats, being attack power, defense, magic power, speed, and a handful of others. After a certain amount of experience, your character will go up a level. EXP points are added to your character after each battle (with a few exceptions). When your character's are down to about a third of their max HP, Limit Breaks become available.ĮXP is short for Experience. When your character's HP is getting really low, it turns yellow. The maximum number of HP is 9999 for your character. Your character's HP is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen during a fight scene. HP is subtracted by attacks (represented by white numbers popping up after a hit takes place), or added by curative magic or items (represented by green numbers). This is basically your character's lifeline, energy, or health. Scroll Status window or Hold with to Boost a GF And when a GF has learned the "Boost" ability, you can increase the damage done by that GF. They can Attack with their weapon, use Magic, Draw magic from an enemy, use an Item, or summon a GF. When a character's time gauge is full, he/she can perform an action. The screen displays your characters' HP and time gauge in the lower right.

Because this is the PC version, throughout this guide I will be referring to the buttons by their functions rather than their Playstation symbols. Since Final Fantasy VIII was originally made for the Playstation, I highly recommend playing with a gamepad.
