Final Fantasy VIII: Official Strategy Guide Features
Let me start off by thanking everyone who purchased our
Final Fantasy VII: Official Strategy Guide. I'm glad to see
you back again.
Due to feedback from consumers such as you we've made lot
of changes to the format of the FF8 guide. Information should
be a lot easier to find and you shouldn't find a single plot
spoiler anywhere in the walkthrough. Also you'll find that
we've tried to make the guide even more complete. There are
huge item lists that help you with refining. A large magic
list that gives you the specifics on how junctioning the
various spells to different stats effects your character. A
gigantic bestiary with about every imaginable bit of
information included. There's information on the Triple Triad
card game and how to get all of the rare cards. A long
section of hidden sub quests and cool things you can find.
Lots of information on every GF in the game, including their
abilities and stats. Draw Points mapped out on the World Map
as well as the various towns and dungeons. And what FF8 guide
would be complete without lots of exclusive artwork. All in
all everything we could cram into 272 pages.
I hope you'll enjoy this guide. It's my goal to make sure
our guide is as complete as possible, easy to use, and a true
enhancement of the game. Please send us feedback on what
you'd like to see done differently on future books or what
you thought was done well at You can also check our sight for
any updates to the book or additional information. Thanks
again and happy adventuring.
