does anyone of you who perfected the FF8 game?..hehe..im just curious..:naughty:

Well, what is a perfect game? No level-up? You at level 100? 100 of every item?

Yeah I suggest being specific to your concept of a "perfect game."

My Final Fantasy VIII is "not perfect" it's got a bunch of scratches...=(

i love the game in my favorite game of all curently im downloading final fantasy x

i love this game its my favorite game of all, Im about to go buy final fantasy x

fix'd :smrt:

I have a downloaded copy of FFX. If I can get something for free (except the DVD-R's of course), then I'll do it.

no! I wasted too much time doing side-quests and other stupid stuff, so by the end of my first game my seed rank was quite low. I sharked all of the good stuff in once I had beaten the game.

A perfect game has so many meanings..

:confused:

mm..perfect game..by means of completing all GF's, having all the powerful cards, high HP and completing all magazines (timber maniacs,pet pal,occult fan and weapons mag)..something like that..=)

Oh yeah, done all that. Also having everyone learn all Limits should be added to that list.

Should getting 100 of all items on the list, too (except for books)?

100 on all magic?

Should getting 100 of all items on the list, too (except for books)?

I'd say that constitutes more as a "Waste of time" than a perfect game, I'd like to see someone try to get 100 Dark Matters. Hmm, I think I'll pass.

Same with 100 Magic since that really can't be defined since you can have up to 600 of each magic (100 on everyone) but one can't hold every type of magic in the game. It can be divided a number of different ways and each person would have to neglect some magic, so some you may only have 300. Either way, magic is used a lot.

Doing the stuff kaffy mentioned and you deserve a pat on the back. But get 100 of every item and 100 of every magic and you deserve the time back. Wait, actually you don't because you'd be pitiful enough to waste it.

100 on all magic?

Sure. That's not too hard.

Yeah, well, maybe that's what kaffy_01 wants?

Its impossible to get 100 of each item, it should be all items thats possible to get.

....

Sure. That's not too hard.



Yeah, well, maybe that's what kaffy_01 wants?

I doubt it. If you got 100 Dark Matters and stated it on this forum you'll probably get your ass handed to you by cunts like I did here: Thread 52470

Then again, this guy didn't. Thread 42846 so I don't know.

Wow! That was harsh.

Good thing there are still nice people left at this forum.

Its impossible to get 100 of each item, it should be all items thats possible to get.

Well, healing items and such aren't that hard to get. As well as 100 magic. But it would take a long time.

Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sw7uKUeAI8Q Over 500 hours! And no, that's not my save.

wow... I wouldn't attempt anything like that. Thats just madness.

The members of this forum don't even abide by the rules stated during the registration process anyways (if you didn't notice). So if they're being cunts, be a cunt back. If you get mad because someone is spamming your thread, then spam other threads. But when you do though, some of the members that do this on a regular basis will call you everything in the book for doing so. Makes me laugh at how pathetic most of the members here actually are.

My game is what I consider 'perfect'.

All GF's obtained (including Chocobo World GF's) + full list of abilities + lvl100.
Ultima + Omega Weapon defeated.
100 of all High-Power Magic's on each person (Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Ultima, Holy, Death, ones like that)
100 of all attainable items
Full set of Cards + 'Card Queen' side-quest completed
Every character lvl100, 9999HP, 255 of each stat (excluding LUK), Ultimate Weapons equipped
All mags collected - Occult Fan, Pet Pals, Combat King, Weapons Monthly, ect.
All side-quests completed
SeeD Rank 'A'
'Chocobo World' completed
All Occult Fan side-quests completed
MAX gil
All hidden bosses defeated (Ultima+Omega Weapon, Odin, Giant Cactaur, Bahamut, ect)

aaand yeah.... thats about it... theres probably more but eh...

I know what you're all thinking; "Wow, you have no life!"
But to be honest, that was done over a period of about 2 years, slowly working it off every now and then.

I've clocked in at just under 665 hours playtime.

I know that feeling of accomplishment myself. I, too have a perfect game exactly like you described. Hell, I still have my PocketStation somewhere in my apartment. But my hours were of playtime were around 715.

Right, yeah, talk about obsessive to a level I've never gotten anywhere near. I'd say the closer I've ever come to anything like that was maybe 200-300 hours on a savefile for Final Fantasy X.


Erm, and yeah, obviously, unless you have PC version, you're not going to obtain a perfect game with those criteria unless you do a lot of work to obtain a Pocketstation and a system that's compatible with it.

a gameshark works just as well, but I suppose that's cheating :notgood:

I got 2 ideas of what a perfect file in VIII is. Although considering that you need a pocketstation and that the PC port has a chocobo world there could be more.

1st idea of what a perferct game is:
The first is close to what Omaklise has managed to do. Although I would exclude the magic and also I believe just one of every attainable item is enough. I mean if you need 100 Whispers to make a Healing Ring do you really have to go through this hell 10 more times? Max Gil is not really an issue to have a perfect game but I would add that you should have Battle Meter, Character Meter and GF Meter as well as reveal all the info about places, people, etc. in the Menu - Tutorial - Information. I remember not asking Kiros about Julia when on Winhill and because of that info about "Eyes on me" never appeared. And I was going for a perfect file but because of that I'm gonna start over.

2nd idea of what a perfect game is:
All characters at level 100
All limit breaks learned
SeeD rank A
All standard GF's found - by standard I mean the ones that appear on the menu (yeah I know even some of them are secret)
All standard GF's at level 100
All GF's abilities learned
All secret GF's found (Odin, Gilgamesh, Phoenix, Chocobo, Moomba - did I forget anything?)
At least one of all possible items - I still don't want to go berserk here (in case you have a pocketstation you can still get a second Magical Lamp and Solomon Ring)
All cards acquired (and not refined) - which means that you've also completed the PuPu and Queen of Cards side quests
All information on places, people, etc. on the Tutorial - Information sub menu
Ultima and Omega Weapons defeated
All bosses at Ultimecia's Castle found and defeated
Find Ragnarok at Disc 4
To those who have a pocketstation raise Boko's level to 100 and get all 3 power ups (it's 3 that you can get, right?)
Gil maxed
All side quests (like on Shumi Village and Obel Lake) completed
Battle, Character, GF meters acquired - and showing the least possible escapes and that your characters and GF weren't KO not even once
And finally raise all character's stats to the max number possible with Ups. Stats that don't have a corresponding "Up" item are excluded.
Everything that needs to be acquired via the Pocketstation is excluded to those who don't own one (including me :-))

I believe that's all :-)

I think your second idea of a perfect game is by far the most challenging. Especially when the characters can't be KO'd even once. Mainly because Ultima and Omega have 1-hit kill abilities.

Especially when the characters can't be KO'd even once.

I thought that was in the easy parts - lol. No really, with a little patience and a lot of reset it is possible. I've done it multiple times (unfortunately I didn't manage it with GF's too) in many files but I always had to start over because of other things I was missing.

You should add "without resetting your system or reloading an old save for any reason" to the list.

Heh! So true.

even if like perfect game it will still be flawed b/c game sucks

Drein - some of those can't be done to those of us who lack a PocketStation.

That's why you can do it on the PC version. As far as I can tell, you have a PC. Now, the only problem would be if you have Vista and haven't figured out a way to play it on the OS yet.

You should add "without resetting your system or reloading an old save for any reason" to the list.

No, I don't think so. Having 0 K.O. without reseting and while having to do all the other staff would be like having to pass the game with only Attacks and without leveling up (not intentionally at least), using only one player and staff like that, you get the idea. I wanted a perfect game to be insane but not impossible. So basically if you know where to find all items/GF/cards, etc. other things, like leveling up to 100, are just a matter of time.

To Zak: I made some changes - clarifications. But besides that don't worry about these. To me getting everything (cards, items, GF, limit breaks, etc.) is quite a feat and should already be considered a perfect game (and you may want less than 70 hours to do). The other things are only for the hardcore of hardcores to try.

For those of us on metered electricy, attempting to to do all this without resetting or saving. Could be potentially heartbreaking.

I would like to save. You never know when the power might suddenly go out and I'd rather NOT overheat my system.

I'm not sure Jarosik realized your comment was sarcastic. :)

On the other hand, if one were serious about enforcing something like that, they could set some sort of limits to enforce the restriction -- i.e. "you may only save once at each save point and at no time on the World Map -- once you reach the end of the game, you may save no more than once per hour and you may not reset the game at any time without first saving your progress."

When you guys say 100 of all items, does that include Power Generators, Rosetta Stones, Holy Wars, Holy War-Trials, Heroes, and Hero-Trials? Because that would probably be harder than getting all max stats.

Isn't that, like, impossibe?

100 of each 'common' items should do? Like, Potions, GF Scrolls, etc.

The amount of items shouldn't really count for a perfect game. I mean, who will actually get 100 Knight's Codes when you need 5 Holy Wars to make just 1? Sure for those with Pocket Stations or the PC version this is possible to do (although still time consuming) but I still find it unnecessary just as I find the non-reset thing unnecessary. As for the 0 K.O. it can be done.

So, is anyone actually doing this?

Haha, no. I think trying to attain "perfect" game is too time consuming.

What about speed runs? How fast can the game be finished?

Actually I'm trying to get a perfect game. Or rather trying to get the base for a perfect game and then wherever it goes.

For a speed run I remember reaching Lunatic Pandora (2nd time) in 12 hours. So maybe it needed an additional 2 or 3 hours to beat the game. It wasn't a speed run though. I just wanted to check something and for some reason I didn't have another save file and so I had to start from disc 1. Also for the PC version I think that while playing on software mode the internal clock run slower than when playing on hardware mode. But it could be due to my old PC.

Oh, I've noticed a definite clock problem when playing FFVII on PC, although I'm not sure if I ever noticed the same with VIII.

level your GF to the max with Seifer during the MISSION, while the rest of the party is dead... no xp for characters but maxed GFs ^^

In order for you to make a perfect game in FF8 you should try the following strategies:

1. Learn the Card command from Quezacotl
2. Try not to level up your characters until you reach the Deep Sea Research Center from Disc 3. (Use Quezacotl's Card command to avoid gaining experience).
3. Gain as many cards as you can and convert them to magic, item or ability to enhance your party's stats. (play the card game side quest for this strategy)
4. Learn Vit Bonus from Shiva, Str Bonus from Iftrit, Spr Bonus from Leviathan, and Mag Bonus from Siren. Ability bonus gives you an additional point to your attribute once you gain a level permanently.
5. Defeat Bahamut at Deep research center and junction him to any character you want to level up. Take note that Bahamut has the Ability x4 in which allows you to junction 4 support abilities. In that way you can equip the 4 ability bonus on your character.
6. Level up your character until it reaches at 100. Only the character equipped with bahamut should be present in battle while the two party members are annihiliated.
7. After it reaches your character's level to 100, junction Bahamut to another character and repeat the same process.
8. When all characters are at its maximum level, then try to junction alll of your best magics like ultima or flare to max out their attributes then there you have it!!..With your stats at maximum level, you can already face Ultima and Omega Weapon to obtain Eden and the item "Proof of Omega" in Disc 4.
