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.

that's crazy, but the question is why bother when you can get the SeeD rank of A by just answering the tests?

True, and to be honest, your SeeD rank doesnt really count for much in game. All it does is determine how much money you get every so often, and unlike in other FF's, moey is hardly important at all. 3K for the Train to timber is all you really need. If you are ever desperate for money, just run around for a bit!

Anyway, sorry to go off topic...

I picked 10 since someone who had already played it that I knew had recommended it to me and aid it could easily be done in that alotted time-frame.

I really did hate this part of the game, but I walked away with about a minute and a half left on the ticfker.

I picked 10 minutes and I just got him down to about 100 HP and waited for the time to get to 30 seconds and summoned Shiva to beat him. My SeeD rank was good after that but it doesn't really matter cause you can just take the test to raise your rank.

Well you can only do the tests up to whatever is the equivalent of Squalls level. So usually after the SeeD test, you're usually 13? (Add this on with the fact, that a lot people try not level up to high in this game until the end).

The lowest I've ever got was down to like 23 seconds. Since I could care less anyway.

I've picked 20 minutes since the second time I played FFVIII. I usually end with like 8-11 minutes left on the clock. Mostly depending on random encounters. This is probably because I try to not use my magic too, meaning I never cast blizzard... and Shiva really takes a lot of animation time...

There are no 'random encounters' on the way through the cave, not before you get Ifrit atleast. There are 3 battles leading up to the main guy, the final one has a choice of enemies, or occasionally doesnt happen.
