Islands closet to Heaven and Hell

[Rikkuffx]

Exactly where are these islands?I read in the secrets portion of my guide that toward the end of the game its the best place to lvl up.It only says they are to the far east or west,I tried finding them once and never found them,anyone have any better directions?

When you look on the map in 8 use the flat map, not the globe. If you look at the map you can see all of the islands, and continents. I foget which one is which but the island that is farthest east on your map is the island closest to hell i believe and the farthest west is the island closest to heaven. I think that that's good enough info, if you need more then just ask.

The furthest west island is the island closet to heaven. At the northern end of the esther continent, there are 3 islands and 1 little one. The eastern one is the island closet to hell. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll give you a link to a map.

Never knew there was, an island closest to Heaven. How does it differ from Island closest to hell?

I think one of the islands are easier than the other. I read somewhere that the enemies on Island Closest to Hell are a little easier than the ones on the Island closest to Heaven. I'm not too sure about that though. They're all difficult lol. Also there are different enemies on both islands.

Island Closest to Heaven:
Ochu
Chimera
Tri-Face
Malboro

Island Closest to Hell:
Grendel
2 Grendels
Ruby Dragon
Hexadragon
T-Rexaur
Blue Dragon
Malboro

I found this map on another site:
FFVIII World Map

Hope this helps you a bit!

What is there on the islands? Just monsters? Any items, GFs, anything? Or just powerful monsters?
