Final Fantasy VIII Hints

About this UHS File

  • Final Fantasy VIII is very much an 'on-rails' game.  I have not noted every place where you need to run right or press a button, as these situations are generally obvious.  This UHS file offers combat tips, puzzle solutions and advice for areas on which you might be stuck.  It does contain some of the secret areas and objects, but by no means all -- you are encouraged to explore the gameworld for yourself and uncover these areas.  All critical areas are covered in this file, but others such as the underwater research facility have been left for you to discover.  They have not been marked on the map in the General section.

    The file was written using the English translation and PC version of Final Fantasy VIII.  In other words, Sorceresses instead of Witches.

    And on the off-chance that you were wondering who wrote this file, my name is Richard Cobbett, I'm a freelance writer, and my e-mail address at the time of writing is charybdis@floor-13.co.uk.  I also have a website at http://www.floor-13.co.uk.  If you are stuck on an area which is not covered in this guide then feel free to e-mail me with a question, although I cannot guarantee that I'll know the answer :-)
