Imo, leveling up does make the game more difficult for you, but it's still highly possible to finish the game in spite of that due to some mechanics easing the process ( like more draws ).īasically, just play the way you want to, but yes junctionning and GFs abilities have to be used. I believe that also resting (in a hotel, in your bed in Balamb etc.) restores GF but I dont remember well. You can also use a cottage (the tent doesnt restores GF) in the world map or a save point. Aus Neugier legte ich dieses Spiel ein und so begann die unendliche Reise durch das Final Fantasy Universum. It isn't that difficult to get to this point, it only takes a couple of hours at the beginning, but then you're pretty much set up for the entire game afterwards. You have to use a specific item called G returner. Mit 8 Jahren fand ich Final Fantasy VIII in der PSX Sammlung meines Bruders. That's why there's a lot of 'no level runs' etc. The difference is that you can abuse this system, GFs abilities can get improved without earning any experience due to some spells, and these spells and other powerful magic can be obtained at the very beginning of the adventure without drawing but while playing triple triad, so the magic draw loss doesn't hurt as much as you would think. Final Fantasy VIII is easily one of the most action-packed and compelling games in the series. So, from a regular level up perspective, it benefits more your enemies than you if you level up.

And monsters level up based on your own level but have a better scaling. In FFVIII the main mechanic to get stats is junctionning magic via your GFs abilities, not leveling up.

But this is like at the end of Disk 3 and goes against all my intuitionsįFVIII is actually quite counter-intuitive in how it deals with stats and level ups.
