Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

Probably most of them, hah. I didn't use GFs much ever, really. Got them all the second time around for completeness sake, but still never found much use for GFs.

Well using the actual GFs was never really an issue (exceptions were Jumbo Cactuar and Doomtrain imo) was never really the point.

I think it was all for their passive abilities you know?

Funny thing is, I never completed my first file. I got bored by disc 3 and started over. I know I didn't have all of them so far though. I missed siren and carbuncle but by the time I decided to finish the game I got them all.

First time through I missed Carbuncle and Cerberus, maybe a couple of others toward the end. I went back and got the strong ones (Tonberry, Eden, etc.) in Disc 4. It's easy to miss Carbuncle, but I don't have much of an excuse for Cerberus. It was too hard! And I was in a rush to get out of Galbadia.

I went back and took a look at my old save file from 4 years ago and the only one I'm missing is Doomtrain; I have all the rest.

Wow, the first time I played this was back in 1999 when it first came out and I think I remember missing Carbuncle, Doomtrain & Tonberry King.

However, the second time through I did get them all.

I didnt miss any of the ones where all you had to do was draw it from a boss. I did miss Doomtrain and the other secret secret side mission ones though

The first time I played, I think I only missed Doomtrain and Tonberry King. I think that was one of the worst to get, because there was no hint as to how to get it that I remember. I missed too many of the magazines to be able to get everything for Doomtrain

On my first time playing FFVIII I missed out on Doomtrain and Eden, just because I didn't know how to get those at the time.
