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.

Your time in the Fire Cavern

Im replaying 8 again and each time I chose 30 or 40 minutes in order to complete it. First time, to be safe I chose 40 and every other time it was 30.

Ive never used 20 or below and I think I personally should have as I have loads of time left over and I never run from the random battles, so with them added, you would think it takes a while.


Whats your shortest time and longest?
Did you ever run out of time? What happens when you do??

If you run out of time, it affects your score when you finish the SeeD test too, which in turn affects what SeeD rank you start off at.

I used to always choose 40 minutes, but after I got used to it, I always do it in ten. It usually only takes about eight and a half minutes if you level up a little bit before going.

I think I chose 10 or 20. Probably 20. I managed to do it, too. Haha. I believe I panicked when I crossed Ifrit, though.

I chose 10 minutes. and then take my time finishing off Ifrit. I wait until about 40 seconds before I actually start doing damage.

I usually choose 20 minutes, I've not tried to do it in 10 thus far, though I know it's pretty do-able.

I picked 10 minutes since I found out that the lesser time you choose, the more SeeD points you'll get later, which then affects your salary throughout the game. 10 minutes is plenty enough time anyway. You just have to make sure that you train outside the cavern first before you start the mission. That way, you won't have to worry about training your way to Ifrit. Just run from the battles until you reach him.
