On disc 1, Watts won't start the kidnapping mission. All he does is stand there and ask me if I would like to play cards. I've played him, won the Angelo card off him, grabbed the magazine from the back, checked out the dummy president... everything I can think to do, and he still refuses to ask me to carry out the mission.


I bought FFVIII off PS3's Playstation Network, so I don't have any discs. I'm speculating if this is the problem or not, but maybe someone will have a definitive answer. Thanks for helpin'!

what button are you pressing when you talk to him?? if it is the square button i think we may have found your problem. try pressing X when you talk to him and see if it makes a difference

Yea I kinda thought of the same thing, I'm definitely pressing both buttons and he gives the same response with each.

Wait a sec... I was hoping it would be something really stupid like this, and it was. You were absolutely correct cheema, I must have been pressing Square!

I'm an idiot, but now I'm an idiot that can continue the game at least! Thanks again.

at least you didn't miss out on the chance to nab angelo's card haha.

i probly did the same thing which is why i knew how to fix it! haha

have fun playing through the game and give collecting all the cards a go.. but dont bother following that card queen bitch around for her cards. you can pick them up off her in disc 4.

You're not an idiot; Square needs to quit changing the control schemes on every game.

I lol'd.
