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.

Luck does not affect the number of times you can use "The End"!

There´s that good old trick of opening you playstation lid and calmly choose Selphies limit atack until you reach the end i believe!

Honestly, I've heard a lot of people over the years claim that you can go through this game without leveling up or just junction wads of magic to the characters and you'll have an easier time since all of the monsters level up with you, but what I don't understand is why on Earth would someone want to play this game that way. Sure it may be an exploitable flaw in the design of the game, but I'm not sure how true it is. I guess I don't believe that you can go through the game and beat Ultimecia with low level characters and junctioned magic not to mention all the other harder bosses later in the game and I don't even want to hear someone claiming they can beat Ultima Wepon without seriously leveling up.

I don't know, I know some people find it fun to exploit flaws in a game or just choose a different style to play, but trust me, it's far more enjoyable to play this game the way the original designers had intended it to be played.

Lol... It should be TABOO or SACRALIGE to play a FF other that the way it was intended. Just kidding!

Meh, not me, I consider it someone's strategy. For me, cheating is using a cheat device or in this game, Google'n the answers to the Seed exam.

True, but the higher the HP your character has, the less a chance their limit break will show up when Aura has been cast on themselves. Trust me, if your character's HP is 4000-9999 and you cast Aura on them, you're limit break will barely come up.

Aura is best used when your character's HP is in the yellow, by greatly increasing the chance that your characters ultimate limit break will appear.

I like Selphie's limit breaks. I would always have her health low so I could do them.

That's the point though: it's not a flaw. It's a part of the system. You're not cheating the system, you're just using it to your best advantage. It's no worse than levelling up normally in other FF games.

Sorry for the double post, but the edit feature doesn't seem to be working properly. I'll merge the posts later.

A technique which constitutes cheating.

The only point in leveling up is if you have one of your GFs learn Hp-up or something...otherwise...there's no real point.
You may as well just wait till disc 4 to do your leveling up in Ultimecia's dungeon. o.O
