Questions?

I have some questions that I never realy discovered. It's only out of curiosity that I will ask these questions.

1.)The first time you bump with Selphie you are given a choice whether you will tour her around or not does this affect anything in any way?

2.)What will you get if you name the painting correctly in Ultimecias castle?

3.)What is the concert for in Ultimecias castle?

4.)How did the moomba(the one taught by laguna to sperak) get to Galbadia garden?

5.)A FAQ said that Seifer would use a summon on you where in fact he didn't summon anything on me. Is it something I did or is it a glitch in the game?

If you give her a tour you'll be familiarized with Garden. Thats about it.

A Boss battle and a chance to unseal one of your powers.

Atmosphere.

He didn't. There are a few Moomba in Galbadia PRISON, and it is assumed they were enslaved by Galbadia in the same way Esther enslaved their Moombas. I guess Moomba's just don't ever get respect.

No...the FAQ was silly.

It depends how you want to use your characters and how you raise them (as well as it greatly depends on how you utilize the junction system.

consult a FAQ. It'll list all of them off for you.

Just keep playing with it and drawing magic, you'll get at least a basic understanding if you match fiddling with the tutorial

What cards you have are of little importance. It all depends on your own personal strategy and the rules used in the game. I personally used all my best cards whenever I played, I won some and I lost some, it happens. But eventually you get a hang of the rules, and you get the better GF and Character cards. Once you get Ifrit, it'll get a lot easier.

Personally for charcters I think are best I'd have to say that Squall, Zell, and then either Quistis or Rinoa should be used. I used Zell and Rinoa, Zell has a nasty limit and Rinoa is also good. I junctioned alot of +1 stuff in the game so now she's uber which I recomend.

The only thing I can really say to help with the junctioning is to draw everything from everyone you can. It takes a long time, but it's the only way to get a powerful team, trust me. I did a bad job my first time through since it took me a long time to figure out how to use the system.

I hope that helps you out.

Well, I used Squall, Zell and Rinoa. I thought they were the most useful characters. I trained them to level 100 and didn't really bother about the other three so much. Zell has an awesome limit break and can do a lot of damage which is handy in boss battles, same as Squall and Lionheart. Rinoa is the healer of my group and also her limit breaks are handy. Use whatever characters you want, they all are unique in there own ways.

As for the guardian forces, all you need to do is look up a walkthrough, they normally tell you where you get them.

Quezacotl and Shiva are obtained by using the school computer at the beginning of the game when Quistis introduces the SeeD exam. Ifrit can be found at the cave, the small one west of Balamb Garden.

Siren can be taken from the Elvoret you fight at the communication tower. That big purple thing lol. Brothers can be found at the Tomb of the Unknown King.

Diablos is given to you by Headmaster Cid, talk to him a couple of times after he sends you off to Timber and he will give you an item called 'Magical Lamp', I wouldn't choose that item from your list until your characters are strong enough to defeat him.

http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/faqs/ff8ranma.txt - This website tells you where you get your guardian force from. You can just type 'Guardian Force FAQ' in Google or whatever and you should get the right info.

The Junction System is quite difficult to learn about. I still don't know how to use it properly lol. Just fiddle around with it for a while and you get to understand it after a bit. I didn't know hot to use it properly and I still got through the game.

The best cards to use in a game would be GF and character cards since they have the highest numbers on them. I normally just use them and I do pretty well. If I lose one of them, I'll reset the game and try again lol.

You'll want to focus on all of them. I'm pretty sure the last battle picks three random characters for you...

GFs - Some bosses contain GFs. Elvoret has Siren, NORG has Leviathan, Fujin has Pandemona to name a few. Use the Draw command on every boss you meet. Oh yeah...Ultima Weapon has Eden. I think you'll like that one.

Junction system: Try to get the most spells possible. More of a particular spell = more power when junctioned. Starting out you should get Water spells. They give a good boost to your stats, making earlier bosses easier to defeat.

Cards - Try not to get the damn Random rule.

Hope this helps.

And the party... What are the strongest characters...?

Palazzo has teamed up with Cloud - (lv 3)Palazzo has teamed up with Cloud - (lv 3)
Order of GFs:

Quetzacotl
Shiva
Ifrit
Siren
Diablos
Brothers
Carbuncle
Leviathan
Pandemona
Cerberus
Alexander
Doomtrain
Cactuar
Odin
Tonberry
Bahamut
Eden
Gilgamesh (only if you get Odin)

You can get Doomtrain - Eden in any order really.

As for strongest character...there isn't one really...they can all the do the same amount of damage with physical attacks and magic attacks since you can get all their stats to 255...the only different would probably be their limit breaks, though they're still all about the same with them to be honest. Squall with his Lionheart, Zell with Duel, Rinoa with Invincible Moon and Wishing Star, Quistis with Shockwave Pulsar, Selphie with The End and Irvine with Hyper shot and Armour shot.

So there isn't really a most powerful character.

Who is the strongest character? Well they all have their unique qualities. Their limit breaks are all powerful and do plenty of damage. Squall has the best limit break though in my opinion, it's quite obvious since he does Lionheart. It's a shame that he does it randomly though. Zell's limit breaks are quite powerful too. Rinoa's limit breaks are useful since she has Angelo. He'll sometimes revive your characters randomly or heal them a little. Quistis has all the different limit breaks which you can use, they are all pretty good attacks. Selphie has 'The End', I haven't been able to use it yet. I have tried scrolling through the list many times but I couldn't find it once! Irvine's limit breaks are not too bad, nothing special in my opinion lol. I didn't really like Irvine so I never really paid any attention to him.

So they are all powerful in their own ways as stated in the previous post. I only used Squall, Zell and Rinoa as my party members most of the time and I was very lucky enough to get them as my final party with Ultimecia. Woohoo!
