I hope i didn’t forget any

That’s very nice.

Did you check http://www.cheatcc.com/psx/codes/ff8.html, the place you most likely copied that from, to find out if you missed any?

Oh, I see one you missed:

PuPu
Look for UFOs to pass by during a battle in the following places (you must have Diablos’ "Enc-None"):

1. Outside Winhill Town
2. Mandy Beach, northeast of Timber
3. Heath Peninsula, east of Trabia Garden
4. Kashkabald Desert
After sighting all four, fly the Ragnarok to the rocky cliffs above the Chocobo Shrine. Encounter a UFO and defeat it. Then, head to the crater where Balamb Garden used to be. You will encounter a PuPu. Feed him five elixirs and you will be rewarded. Its only a level 5 card, but is definitely the hardest card to find.

Excellent job! I see that this might come in handy, so I think I’ll sticky it so maybe people will find it useful.

Excellent work deepthroat X_x

And thanks TeknoBlade for adding that one he missed.

yep that’s right but i thougt it mite come in handy

That’s very usefull thx.

oh yeah one question
can you get the seifer card also from cid when he is not in edea’s home

thanks

Yea it is possible to get the Seifer card before Edea’s home, I think I got it when Garden first went moblile but its been a while since then so I might be wrong.

You can nab the Seifer card from Cid directly after the battles with Dollet. It’s kinda tough to win it though when you are more than likely going to have sub-par cards, but just as a piece of accuracy.

I stayed in Lunar Base for AGES trying to win that Laguna card, Fricken hard, you really gotta know your game to win that one.

The only ones I ever won was Edeas card and Diablos , ect… I tried to win Lagunas card too, I got some other card :S .

Note about Angelo’s card: if you miss it on the train in Disc 1, you can still get it later by playing on the White SeeD ship.

Is it possible to get Laguna if you did not challenge ellone on the ship?

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">I don’t think you can, as you won’t get to challenge Ellone after that I don’t think… 🙁

two words. WHO CARES

if someone wants to know, let them ask, than u can post this, if i could i would close this thread, but i cant. anyway, did u just figure out were they r or something, cuz i got them all like two years ago, if thats a yes, ur ging to have one hell of a time with 9, or the blitzball in 10.

Well goku, for us FF fans, we still play the games over and over while we await new RPG’s to come out and woe us each year on the new system(S).

And along the way we’ve forgotten a thing or two in detail but remember what it is we want.

So rather then buy a strat book for $14 or go searching around for some miscellaneous walkthrough who’s author is nowwhere to be found in cyberspace for questioning, we choose to rally here. We can not only get direct answers, but some side hints and tips by way of second/third /etc opinion.

Deepthroat’s (God I love that name :O must be my connection..hah) intent was to get this stickied I believe, and it did and it should. It saves server space and people’s time in the future.

I think the original post should be edited with the process and information regarding Queen Quest, being that it takes a long frustrating time and involves you having to give up five of cards listed. So it would be good to have them to go hand in hand with the quest when you can travel the world freely.

MissTwink

Remember on the 4th disc you can go and see the Queen of cards at the lunar pod crash site and win any rare cards you missed earlier. She has all the extra rules turned on includin bloody random though so its a bit of a pain. Its pretty hard to find since it isn’t marked on the map and you can’t see it you just run into it. Can’t remember where it is though, can someone help me out there?

Yeah, I can help with that. It’s in the same location Piet was on Disc 3. Here’s the best description I found online: "The escape pod crashed in the Abadon Plains, which is south of Tear’s Point outside of Esthar’s cloak. Land on the island and search the area. You can’t see the crash site, but you’ll automatically get taken there if you step in the right area. Piet is sitting next to the excape pod cursing his bad luck."

You’re forgetting something VERY important here.

First of all I hate that QoC bitch and stopped soon chasing her, you’re like supposed to go all over the world and win every game with crazy rules and even you save all the time it’s pain =(

Instead I found a better, easier and far more effective plus useful way out:

1) EVERY rare card can be obtained in disc 4. Just hitch a chocobo and get back to ragnarok in disc 4. Oh yeah you’d better beat the CC quest by this time, not sure if you can challenge them @ ragnarok unless you have.

2) The POINT of rare cards IMO is also battle wise, you can get a crapload of goodies. I went to ragnarok in disc 4, perfected my collection by beating the CC dudes and then I refined one of my rares (eg. Gilgamesh = 10 holy war med) and won the rare back again. And again. And again… Ofcourse I saved EVERYTIME I won succesfully, the rules were hell.

In time I had 100 Holy War, 10 of all possible GF learning med (yes even rosetta stones, they can be refined too) 100 LuvLuvG (I had also made all 6 chars comp with all GF up to 1k) etc you get the point. The best thing in this was to configure your GF’s endlessly… It didn’t matter what was the GF’s name or original abilities. It was very useful against Omega and the last boss as all my 6 chars were maxed up and it didn’t matter whcih ones fought the final battle.

Instead of going to the forum to see someobdy elses way (which may even be wrong), why don’t you just take the easy way out and find your answers at ffonline or like teknoblade said cheatcc?

And I found a mistake, you get squalls card onboard the ragnarok.

<font color=red face="comic sans ms">Err, that’s not a mistake. You CAN win the Squall card from Laguna when you first meet him in Esthar. You can also play him on the Ragnarok, so both ways are correct really. 🙂

And in response to a post above saying you can get Seifer’s card as soon as you get back from Dollet; I tried this in a recent game, but at no point did he play me when I tried challenging him, and I tried virtually everywhere. Is there a specific time or place you have to play him on disc 1?

You can’t get it on Disc 1, since you don’t get back to Balamb Garden until Disc 2. But it is possible to win Seifer’s card before meeting Cid at Edea’s home. It’s right before you leave for Fisherman’s Horizon. Challenge Cid to cards right before going to Fisherman’s Horizon. You should be able to play cards with him (he’ll say something along the lines of "If you insist" or "Are you sure now is the time?") and you should be able to get Seifer’s card.

Thanks for the information I could use it alot. I am starting another game on Final Fantasy 8 its my second time and I will make sure I get all those rare cards.

Well what i did was when i got a chocobo i went back to the ragnorok and like Dalahan said all of the CC members are there thats how i managed to obtain every card although its not as easy as it sounds! Some of the players are extremely good and its quite a battle at times.
