Mar 28, 2017 Hi everyone, it's mobius day and I just got a ton of fractals while farming for my pneuma. Is there a cap on the amount of extra-abilities a card can have? Or to be more precise, do I need to be picky about which fractals I feed to a card or can I theoretically feed it every type of fractal and get every extra ability? Been trying to find an exact answer, but can't seem to find what I'm. In Final Fantasy VIII the Junction system is used to increase the characters' power, stats, and abilities. As part of a FF8 Walkthrough, this guide teaches you how to determine which character the GF is most compatible with, and shows you how to Junction a GF to a Final Fantasy VIII 8 Character. May 11, 2018 - setting # of Slots to 4 or more would simply crash the game when you try to view Menu menu. unless you want to add a new spell, leave this alone. Enough Magic Slots for all the spells you can use for the current Magic Category. all Slots have a dropdown list prepared, you can easily change or add a new spell with the list.

Unused Spells
Slot Spells
There are a pair of spells intended for Selphie's 'Slot' Limit command that weren't used. Both can be obtained as normal spells with a GameShark (as can the four that are used), and work as advertised, though they weren't given unique animations, and look identical to the Fire spell. No 'Slot' spells can be junctioned, however.
- Percent - This drops the HP of all enemies to critical levels.
- Catastrophe - Deals heavy non-elemental damage to all enemies.
Apocalypse
This spell isn't unused at all; Ultimecia can cast it in the very last battle, and it can be drawn from her and even stocked. However, one aspect of it isn't available normally: This spell can be junctioned as normal, and has a full set of stat boosts, as follows.
(Note: All increases assume 100 of the spell are junctioned to the respective stat.)
- HP: +4200
- STR: +80
- VIT: +80
- MAG: +80
- SPR: +90
- SPD: +30
- EVA: +12%
- HIT: +30%
- LUCK: +30
- Elemental Defense: All elements +100%
These boosts tend to be, by and large, second only to those granted by Ultima. It's a shame that there's no way to junction this spell normally.
Unused Song

You can download the clip or download a player to play the clip in your browser.
Famously, the Final Fantasy 8 demo bundled with Brave Fencer Musashi featured a completely different song for the Dollet attack mission than what was used in the final version. This song is still present in the final version, but is never used, and can only be heard in the debug room. A widespread theory is that it was removed for legal reasons due to heavy similarities with the song 'Hummel Gets the Rockets,' composed by Hans Zimmer from the movie The Rock released in 1996.
Unused Enemies
Dummy is a test enemy who can only be fought in the debug room or through other cheats. He has 410 HP regardless of level. His chest (mouth) has the katakana text 'dummy', mirrored. He also has 'ゴメンネ'(I'm sorry, gomenne) written on his back.
Again via the debug room, you can fight a gunblade. It appears in place of GeroGero after defeating the Fake President in the Battle scene test number 2380. This enemy is not actually unused, and is present and visible in all battles against Seifer Almasy. Because Seifer uses a player model, his weapon, the gunblade, is a seperate model but is just made untargetable.
Hidden Text And Drawings
The texture sheets for some monsters have little bits of text and drawings occupying the blank spaces.
- 'Sa'/'Sabotenda' (Cactuar's Japanese name)
- Smiley cloud face
- A cactaur
- Little stick figure
- A star
- 'Cow'
- 'Mystery Circle'/'Crop Circle'
- Another stick figure
- Text in the middle says '← Front, Back →, Dummy, Hair ↓, Body ↓'
- Smiley face
- 'Seriously?'
- A man in an 'Ancient Egypt' pose
- 'Pu'
- 'Pathetic'
- A cross
- 'Mo'/'Moai (Easter Island Statue)'
- An Ochu
- 'Pyramid'
- A drawing of Quezacotl
- 'Mo', possibly 'Model'
- A slanted stick man?
- Horizontal stick man
- 'My Spirit Dried Up'
- Drawing of a Glacial Eye
- 'I'm going to cry'
- One-eyed smiley
- Hand
- Dinosaur
- 'Empty Heart'
Unused Images
Alongside the images used in the Chocobo World introduction are these concept drawings. The kanji visible in each picture means 'temporary'.
This grid of hex numbers is unused in the normal game. It does appear though as the floor to battle number 4670 in the Girls Debug Room battle scene test.
A further image simply contains handwritten Japanese text. The text translates to:
Unused Areas
To try and visit the areas listed, use the following GameShark codes replacing xxxx with the listed code. Then press all four shoulder buttons during gameplay to activate.
NTSC-U | NTSC-J | PAL |
---|
0048 — Grouped with the debug rooms is this, named testno. It exists in non-JP versions though the text associated with it was not translated. The text seen in this image translates to 'This map can not be entered. Please report this bug.' Trying to enter it crashes the game.
004C — Another one grouped with the debug rooms. It's named test6 in the game files though hidden text in it and the main debug room identify it as Kitase-san's page. Its text has been translated though it also crashes trying to enter it.
00D8 — A bizarre scene in the training centre. Accessible only on Disc 4, the game will crash if you press any buttons other than D-Pad Right, action, or party menu. The bat like black shape in the middle is a rotated Squall sprite and the blobs moving left and right are the relief features (trees, walls) on a scolling copy of a grayscale version of the background.
0149 — This rocky outcrop is where a forced battle against the XATM-092 takes place in the demo, but it is unused in the actual game. Its description in the game files is Timber - TV Screen, and the only text associated with it are the Japanese for 'Test' and 'Battle Battle'.
0283 — A car with an animated background. It's labelled as Winhill - Car and the scene only exists on Disc 2.
02A0 — Overhead shot of some Winhill backstreets only visitable on Disc 2. The room has scripts for Laguna, Kiros & Ward, but only text is 'Test'. When playing, the above car is visible through the houses.
0326 — The back of the arm control room in the D-District prison. There is no associated text or description so this is very much 'what you see is what you get'.
021A — Esthar's presidental palace with a normal sky and blue lighting and an alternate state showing the back of the room as well. In the actual game it is replaced with room 021B, which is identical save for a red sky and purple lights. Its only associated text is untranslated Japanese for 'Test'. It is described as Edea's House - Flower Field and is only visitable on Disc 3.
02CE — Alternate viewpoints for the initial Laguna-Julia cutscene. The game eschews these and the untranslated Japanese text contained within for the angles in room 02CF.
029F — An enlarged shot of Raine's house in Winhill. When playing, the car above is visible through the closed garage doors. Entering and actioning the car displays the 'Test' dialog box. Disc 2 only.

To do: See if whatever this is can be displayed. The PC port has the same strings but the function they're passed to contains only a return statement. As that came after this version, it may be enable-able. |
Next to the build dates are strings indicative of a debug menu/overlay:
PocketStation
To do: Detail this stuff. |
There is a unique feature which allows the player to download a mini-RPG called Chocobo World to the PocketStation. This allowed the player to collect items and power-up certain Guardian Forces. Although the game was localized, the PocketStation itself was not released outside of Japan, thus making the mini-game inaccessible without importing a PocketStation. This is available in both the Steam re-release of the game and the 2013 re-release of the 2000 PC version.
Oddly enough, the American release's manual has an entire section on Chocobo World! However, it begins with the text:
(*NOTE: Chocobo World requires the PocketStation™ personal game unit, which may not be available for purchase outside Japan.)
Regional Differences
Some gameplay changes were made when the game was localized:
- At the Fire Cavern in the Japanese version, the player has to defeat Ifrit and return to the entrance before time runs out. In the English versions, the player just needs to defeat Ifrit to stop the timer.
- Some Guardian Forces can be re-obtained in Ultimecia Castle if the player missed them. This is not possible in the Japanese version.
- Torama, Iron Giant, Elnoyle and Behemoth have different HP formulas.
- Tutorials show up automatically in the game's storyline.
Some censorship was also made when the game was localized:
- In the original Japanese version, the boss Gerogero's organs were red. The change to blue for the localized versions was probably made because the red makes the organs protruding from the creature look far more real.
- The Ultimecia Castle's armory has red blood on the wall in the Japanese version, but in the localized versions it has turned green.
Italian PAL version
Hardly a localization change, but the Italian translation differs from its PAL peers in that it got an actual Scan message for the Dummy enemy, and it's nothing less than a note of frustration sneaked in by the translator himself! He apparently knew it wasn't going to show up.

In Lightning Returns, the core of your battle strategy lies in your selection and execution of customizable abilities. Given that you only have twelve ability slots in total, with some of these occupied by locked garb abilities, it is vital to understand what every ability does to achieve the right balance and maximize your combat potential. All other parts of a Schema should serve to complement and enhance the abilities you choose to bring into battle.
There are four types of abilities, each corresponding broadly to a specific range of tasks you can assign to one of your Schemata. If you have played Final Fantasy XIII and/or Final Fantasy XIII-2, you will remember these distinct “roles” from the Paradigm system. Note that you can find an exhaustive list of all abilities, with all parameters and assorted details, in the Inventory chapter of the Complete Official Guide.
Abilities: Overview
Icon | Type | Description | Corresponding Role |
Physical Attacks | Attacks that inflict damage based on the Strength attribute. The greater the Schema’s Strength, the more damage is inflicted. Certain advanced abilities have special properties, such as interrupting enemy attacks. | Physical Schema: a role specialized in dealing physical damage (especially to staggered foes) and building up or maintaining the Stagger Wave. | |
Magic Attacks | Spells that inflict damage based on the Magic attribute. The greater the Schema’s Magic, the more damage is inflicted. Many spells have elemental attributes, making them ideal to exploit enemy weaknesses. | Magic Schema: a role specialized in staggering foes and dealing magic damage. | |
Defensive Abilities | Defensive abilities enable you to reduce (or evade, or counter) the damage dealt by enemy attacks: the greater the Schema’s Guard Defense attribute, the less damage you take while guarding. Certain advanced abilities have specific purposes, such as healing or restoring ATB. | Defensive Schema: a role specialized in tanking enemy damage. | |
Ailment Spells | These inflict status ailments to your enemies, which is a great way to hinder them and lower the danger they pose significantly. | Ailment Schema: a role specialized inflicting status ailments to your opponents. |
Final Fantasy 8 Review
Ability Basics
- Obtaining Abilities: There are two ways to acquire abilities. First, almost every piece of garb comes with native abilities. Simply equip the garb, and you have access to the abilities inherent to it. However, you should note that native abilities cannot be removed, as indicated by their padlock icon. You can acquire new abilities by defeating enemies (and occasionally from treasure spheres). Whenever you obtain one that you’re interested in, quickly open the main menu to equip it to the relevant Schema.
- Using Abilities: To have access to abilities in battle, you simply need to assign them to a Schema (see previous section). Once you have allocated the ability of your choice, you can use it in combat by pressing the corresponding face button of your controller while employing the Schema in question. Many attacking abilities are designed to be performed on multiple consecutive instances to create a combo, with the final strike in the sequence (called “finale”) offering increased damage. To use an ability multiple times, you can either press the necessary button manually in accordance with Lightning’s movements, or simply hold the button down. Holding the ability button makes a lot of sense for guard abilities, as this ensures that there are no potential interruptions in your defense. The only downside to holding the button is that it prevents you from achieving potential Perfect Timing bonuses.
- Button Mapping: As you become more and more familiar with the combat system, you will soon realize that it makes sense to think carefully about how you allocate abilities to the face buttons of your controller. For example, if you have attacks infused with the same element in two different Schemata (for example Aero with one, and Aerora or Galestrike with another), try to assign these abilities to the same button. This way, when you face an enemy variety that is susceptible to the Wind element, you could potentially switch between the Schemata concerned without releasing the button. You can push this even further by deciding in advance that you will always assign certain types of moves to a given button. This will give you an edge in battles, helping you to know instinctively what buttons to press in accordance with your current circumstances.
- Synthesis & Ability Levels: All abilities have a level, which appears in their name. Initially, you will mostly have Lv. 1 abilities, but as you progress in the game, you will receive abilities of higher levels. What’s more, you will soon unlock the Synthesis feature, available in Sorcery Shops, which enables you to fuse abilities of the same level to upgrade them, and ultimately to level them up once they reach their limit via the Level Boost feature unlocked on Day 6.
- Rare Abilities: Certain abilities appear in yellow in the game, and have a small star on their icons. These rare abilities are invaluable in that they are imbued with an auto-ability that provides additional benefits.
Auto-Abilities
Auto-abilities are perks, passive traits that permanently boost the Schema they apply to (and, in the case of arm accessories, to any active Schema). They come in all forms, from those which enhance basic attributes such as HP, ATB, stagger capability, Strength and Magic, to those that affect elemental attacks and resistances. A few only apply in very specific circumstances, such as one auto-ability that offers a bonus whenever Lightning attacks an opponent from behind.

Auto-abilities can sometimes be extremely valuable, and even entirely justify settling for the otherwise poor stats of whichever piece of equipment or ability they belong to. In a highly specialized Schemata configuration, auto-abilities often have critical significance whenever you choose abilities or equipment you for a given Schema. For example, a +15% increase of your Magic attribute can prove invaluable for a magic-oriented Schema that uses elemental spells (leading to a +15% boost to the damage you cause). Any bonus to damage (or ailment) resistance is a blessing for a defensive Schema designed primarily to tank enemy assaults.
To see details about the effects of auto-abilities, simply consult the comprehensive list on page 250 of the Complete Official Guide.
Synthesis
Once they are unlocked during the storyline, you can visit Sorcery Shops to strengthen your abilities by synthesizing them with abilities of the same type and rank – for example Attack Lv.1 with Attack Lv.1. The first ability you select is kept and upgraded during the process. The second ability you select is consumed and lost.
You will find a brief overview of the system here. You can find an in-depth presentation in the Strategy & Analysis chapter of the Complete Official Guide.
1. Synthesizing physical abilities and magic abilities increases their Attack parameter by one increment (for example, from x1.00 to x1.05), making it more powerful (in this case, by 5%).
2. Once an ability reaches its limit (its final increment), it is marked by a distinctive icon. At this point, synthesizing it further has no effect on its Attack value.
3. The synthesis process usually keeps the best parameters of the two abilities that are fused. For instance, if you synthesize an ability with a low ATB cost, and another with a high Attack value, the resulting ability will have both of these features.
4. If the two abilities that are being synthesized each have an auto-ability, the source ability has priority over the consumed ability – in other words, the auto-ability of the first ability that you select will prevail.

5. In addition to a boost to the source ability’s Attack parameter, the synthesis process may occasionally lead to extra bonuses, such as the appearance of an auto-ability.
6. Synthesizing defensive abilities and ailment abilities is not necessary, as they are always maxed by default – their parameters cannot be raised any further.
7. A maxed ability can be leveled up via the Level Boost feature that is unlocked at all Sorcery Shops from Day 6 (or when you defeat your first Last One). Leveling up abilities always results in boosts to their main parameters, and sometimes in additional bonuses, such as a reduction of their base ATB cost. As a consequence, abilities that you level up at Sorcery Shops (especially those that you have nurtured from Level 1) cost less in terms of ATB than those of equivalent levels that you obtain from defeated enemies.

8. After leveling up an ability, you can repeat the whole process again (synthesizing it incrementally, and leveling it up) to reach even higher levels. This feature is partially restricted during a debut Easy or Normal playthrough, but fully unlocked during a subsequent Hard playthrough after you complete the main storyline for the first time.
