If you never, ever want to die in FFVIII:
Equip your characters with a GF with Status-Attack, and then junction Drain to it.

You'll never, ever have to heal.

Gee... you guys are playing it again. I've played it over three times. I remember my first try, I got to the castle and then there was this lightning storm outside-the power fluctuation-the corruption of my whole memory card-the insertion of FFVIII disc 1 into the PS. When I played it again, I was only able to kill Ultimecia by luck. You're supposed to be able to kill her when she says her third line. I reached that part but by then she had blasted away all my spells and killed everyone except Squall. Eventually she did kill Squall, but I had a phoenix pinion and Phoenix suddenly popped out reviving me and damaging Ultimecia. God was I lucky....

Diablos is extremely easy. All you have to do is cast blind on him. You won't die. His magic is just demi spells, so your HP might get as low a 1, but you won't die. Just use your limit breaks and he'll go down easy. I beat him at level 15, right after Cid gave me the lamp.

Really? Because I had the worst time with Diablos. Maybe, at the time, I didn't have blind; I can't remember, but I do remember the fact that he was extremely fast. It seemed like everytime one of my characters had a turn he KO'ed them. He'd use demi and then go in with those claws of his. Hell, I was in the mid twenties too, level wise, when I used the lamp. XD The next time I play I'll give that a try.

Yeah, I really only figured out the strategy due to what I heard from someone else. But, his claw attack is rendered useless when you cast blind on him. I believe there's a Blind draw-point during the Dollet mission, and I'm pretty sure you can draw them from T-Rexaurs. He is really easy once he's blinded, because when he uses demi, you can just wail away with Limit Breaks.

FF8 is so easy to God-mode. xD Only battles I had trouble with was Omega Weapon...and Marlboros. @_@

He really is easy. Diablo looks very intimating but he mostly casts demi spells and hits you sometimes. Of course using blind is a must when battling him but there is a small chance of his hits attacking you. He has did KO'ed my characters before but it's not a big deal.

Also you can stock blinds from Granaldo too. He's the wasp boss that you fight with Quistis and Squall.

That happened to me. I had beaten it already and i was trying to get everything in the game but there was a power outage when i was saving and my file got all messed up :(
i restarted a new file like 2 years ago and made it to disc 3. i haven't touched it since. my disc 4 is all scratched now, i need a new copy v_v

I recently started a new game on FF8 and with all the FF7 I have been playing I forgot how playable the game really is.

It's been close to 6 years since I first AND last played FFVIII, but I think it will still take me a few more years before I decide to go back and play it if I do. I mean sure it's a great game as all FF games seemed to be for me, but i don't feel like spending 30+ more hours doing something I've already done before.

I figure that one day I'll go back and replay all my FF games to relive the glory of them and refresh my memory on the plot and overall game, but I just don't have that time on my hands to do something I've already gone through once.
