Final Fantasy VIII Unlockables and Secrets (PC)
The very first modern Final Fantasy game
Final Fantasy VIII is a console and computer role-playing game developed and published by Square Co. (now Square Enix) for the Sony PlayStation video game console and Microsoft Windows-based personal computers. The game's story focuses on a group of young mercenaries who are drawn into an international conflict and seek to protect the world from a sorceress manipulating this war for her own purposes. Final Fantasy VIII departed from many traditional standards of the Final Fantasy video game series. It is the first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, the first to feature a vocal piece as its theme music did not have a Magic Point-based system for spellcasting and one of the only titles to deviate from the series' traditional means of increasing a character's power. It is also one of the first games in the series not to use a chiefly traditional fantasy setting.UnlockablesAcquiring Missed GFsIf you missed any GF on your way through the game, you can get them during Disc 4 at Ultimecia's Castle.
