firstly i have a weird thing going on my game. no metter what monster i kill i get no more then 5 exp, usually 1 to each character in the party.
secondly, i wanna know how is my status. i just finished disc 3.

squall is level 27
zell 21
irvine is 20
rinoa is between 15 to 20
quistis is 15 XP
selphie is like... 11 or something XDD

i have very low dmg with everyone, exept with squll, which hits about 2000.
the rest hit like.. O_o idk 100-200.. XD
also i have all GF's untill Alexander, idk where to get any others.

my main problem is that i just can't lvl! stupid 1 exp! T_T
ALSO idk how to dual people with cards. i mean. i know there's an option. idk how to use it. i mean, i wanna start a cards game, HOW!@?

sorry for beeing pefetic. XD help me creating a better game. ill restart :D

Press Square instead of X when talking to people. If they're players, they'll ask you if you want to play.

With Final Fantasy VIII, it doesnt really matter what your level is, though personally i would be around level 50 mainly because i get the level 3 versions of magiks before i even enter balamb.

a strategy to the game is to stay as low level as possible until you have the ragnarok so you can use all available Stat bonus skills , ie str bonus from Ifrit.

so ultimately the 5 exp is no problem, it will become a problem when you don't receive the usual AP, which of normal monsters is about 1 - 3

reason being that with FF8, the monsters level up as your characters level up.
unlike FF7 where creatures have a fixed ammount of whatever , heath, level mp etc.

dont worry about your level, worry about your gf's learning stuff and obtaining 100 of magic.

so your doing fine, but if fail the Great Salt Lake, then theres something your missing.

( you'll know what i mean when you get there :P )

Good Luck!!!

Are you playing PC or Playstation version?

playstation version.
ok so lvl is not a big deal. :S but i can't get any good spells this way. =\

Wait you finished disk 3, well I don't know why it's doing that, that's very odd.

Is there not a way for him to go to the two islands and level up? You know, before entering Ultimecia's Castle.

Sure, it's possible to get the Ragnarok back on Disc 4 by exiting one through one of the portals on the path that leads to Ultimecia's Castle, then obtaining a chocobo from the Chocobo Holy Forest.

I'm not sure how much that's going to help though if the game is glitched. The reason I asked was because if it was PC version, then I was hoping to examine the savefile.

i think i'm going to start over the game. simply because i suck XD
i didn't know how to use the FFVIII junction system untill the end of disc 1, not to metion i never fought some character a card dual, AND i have that stupid glitch. ARHG xp

How would one examine the save file (I have the PC version)?

The savefiles are stored in a "Save" folder within the directory where you have game installed --- they can be uploaded onto the web.

Yes, but which tool would one use to "examine" it? I assume you're using some kind of a tool to examine it?

no he was gonna load the save file and see the problem first hand.

Yep, that would indeed have been the "examination."

i think he got the point XD
boop de boop de poo. lol XD

I see. Thanks for the clearification, Ultra Magnus.
