[Alpha's Ghost]

So where do I find Martine in the FH?

dark ultima If your talking about the old galbadian headmaster hes near the mayors office in Fh

Ok I'm guessing you have Bahamut, if you do just exit and re-enter the Deep sea research center and they'll be a hole in the floor where bahamut was if your party is over Lv.70. Go down it and then you have to work your way through loads of levels of increasingly harder leveled monster. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you arent level 90+ and if you dont have enc - none.

I can't beat Edea for her card because she uses the random selection on the draw of your cards is there any other way of getting her card?
or is there anyway to beat her/ getting the card selection so I can choose your own cards?

Heya,
I made a thread about revive+ and then realised that there was a thread for questions and answers!
A while ago a heard about something called revive+. I cant remember what it was or how to get it. Could someone please help me! thanks

[Treize]

Um. About Edea's card you could card mod all your weak cards so all you have is strong cards. Then when its random you automatically get all strong cards

About the White Seed ship. It is kind of close to Edea's house. From Edea's house you go up until you get to the end of the continent. Then you go right until there is a break in the cotinent above you. Then go up. Then go left. If this doesn't help you can always go to gamefaqs or you can look for a map on a search engine.

With the adamantine if you're not that far you can steal it from BGH251F2 in FH

[zell_dincht0808]

Using card mod on all your weak cards would be a good idea but only if you didnt want to get every card in the game. I beat Edea and other people who used the "random" rule by saving my game just before playing them. Then I could easily load up my file again if I was given bad cards and lost.
Im not sure if the game always do this or whether I have been lucky but whenever I play random games I always seem to get given at least 2 of my best cards.
Is this just me getting lucky or do other people get a few (even only one) good cards each time they play using the "random" rule?

[zell_dincht0808]

Recently I beat Edea at cards and won the Edea card. I was wondering, what does the Edea card refine into when using Card Mod?

About the Random card rule, there's a way to abolish it but save your game first.

To abolish rules:

Area A: Has unwanted rule.
Area B: Has at least 1 rule, preferably exactly 1 rule, Area A doesn't
have, and doesn't have the unwanted rule.

Play a game in Area B. Proceed to Area A and save somewhere near any card
player. Challenge any person to a game of cards, when asked if you want to play
with a combination of both area's rules accept. When given the option to play
or quit a second time, quit. If the rule you want to abolish doesn't get
abolished reset and start over, if another rule spreads reset and start over, if
nothing happens challenge again.
Note: It's best to abolish rules before spreading rules.

is this a cheat? or just a clever tactic to abolish the rules?

[Alpha's Ghost]

^look above you for that answer^

Ok so guy I was on foinal fantasy 8 and I was woundering whata all the timber manic books where and what they are for.

Also I was also woundering where I can obtain all the weapon mags

You can find them in places but I can't remember where or do it the easy way and buy them from Esther's bookshop. If you've already been once remember you can use Tonberry King instead of going back.

It's a bit of both really...more on the cheating side though.

ok thanks for the help it much appreciated

I have a question: is it possible to get dragon fangs when all the monsters have high levels? For all the monsters that can give dragon fangs (blue dragon, grendel, etc.) from what I've read they all stop carrying it when they're over level 30. Is there another way, or am I basically just screwed? Thanks.
