FF8 is my favourite of the series too.Even though it was really hard for me to get the junction system at all,becuz it was the first playstation game i've ever played i still managed to deal with it.I remember that the first boss-fight that i lost several times was Elvoret(Dollet tower).

I couldn't figure out all the limit break stuff till then.
Another thing i usually debate with ff8 fans is wether it's possible or not to kill X-ATM092.

Believe me,yes!it is possible.It's damn hard though...i reached the shore at 0.02 seconds.The only thing was that the movie where the monster is shot with the cannon wasn't played anymore.
Anyway my all time favourite party was Squall,Zell,Rinoa.I played the limit breaks manually,i especially liked Zell's limit breaks.For my dissappointment since i haven't got the lionheart the first time i've played it through i never got to see Squall's best limit break...becuase of this the best limit break available was Riona's...wishing star - Angelo.I always got hyper when i saw the doggy in action kicking major boss-asses.
xd whee .I must admit i didn't finish the game in a fair way...i cheated my Gilgamesh card with my Gameshark...i duplicated the card so i can get more Holy War's...i must say even with holy war's it was not easy to beat Ultimecia.It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes to beat her.I was relying on the limit breaks so i had to cast Triple and Aura on all before she could make a lethal hit,to be able to make them all invincible and show her my special kicks and slices
smile I didn't menage to always do that,so it took a little time to adjust...
Anyway..i tell you guys...that pocketstation thing makes miracles...the second time i played it on PC and i had the option to send the Chocobo to Chocobo world...overwriting the save file made me gather loads of unaccesible valuable items...so i could get my Lionheart at level 20
twisted whee By the way,i always had a question.Someone should really tell me how the hell the monster named Marlboro is killed...a guide or something...i remember having problems with that mob and always ended up escaping
