How do GF's recover their HP?

i was just wondering, do GF's ever recover their HP like overtime, without the use of items or leveling up?? and if so how is this done

[Raikkonen]

Well you should have heard of G potion/hi potion

That heals their HP but you can't heal them in battle nor can you resurect them.
Well this should explain it.

so there really isnt any other way besides items? or leveling them up? your basicaly screwed.. err >,< that sucks

[Raikkonen]

Well if they get damaged you basically are screwed.

But that is to make the game a little harder, like in FF IX the Eidolons used heaps of MP, and in FF X you only could heal them on save points.

On the world map you can use tents and cottages that should also heal your GF's but if you'r looking for a way to heal them in a fight, NO WAY sorry.

err... lol well thanks for the assistance

hmmm i diddint know that ...... cool!

I'm surprised nobody knew this, but GFs actually recover their HP when you walk on the World Map. It happens slowly, though, like 5 HP per step.

[Crazy Chocobo]

Yes! I thought they recovered their HP another way because when mine got hurt, they mysteriously recovered health while I was running around and battling. I knew there was another way but I wasn't too sure of what it was. You can either heal them with G-Potion in battle, use a tent/cottage or just walk around to heal them. It's pretty cool.

[penelo rocks]

i think they restore some health after each battle based on how many gf's you have junctioned to one character and capactability

[Zaden]

i always thought in ffviii when you go to sleep in an inn they recover hp
tell me if that is true

that is quite possibly true. I've had instances where my GF was killed and then using NO pethouses or g-returners I've slept at an inn and my GF was fully recovered.

You have to buy those HP potion stuff for GF at the store...or just sleep.
