I have control of Balamb Garden now, and before I go to Edea's house, I want to make sure I have every GF I can. According to Lisa, I can get Odin, Phoenix and Tonberry now.

I just need to know where they are, and how to get them. Help please?
 
My FF VIII knowledge is a bit rust but if i remeber correctly you can get Tonberry and Odin from the same place, it's the big scaffold like structure near Edea's house, if you kill a certain ammount of tonberrys in a row (ithink its about 20 or something) Daddy Tonberry appears.

And as for Odin there's a little task you have to do in the same place but i'm not sure what you have to do sorry.

I'm sure you can figure it out :):P
 
Both Odin and Tonberry are found in Centra Ruins, which as the poster above has said, is near Edea's House. To obtain Odin, you need to find and defeat him within 20 minutes of entering the Ruins. As for Tonberry, you need to kill 18 normal Tonberries beforehand, then the GF Tonberry will appear. For Phoenix, refine 3 Mega Phoenixes to create 1 Phoenix Pinion. This item is effectively the GF; when all characters are KO'ed, Phoenix will sometimes appear and revive your characters. (whilst doing damage too). You could also obtain the Moomba GF through the use of the item: Friendship. Although I think the only way to acquire it is through Boko's Game.
 
There is also Leviathan, pandemonium, and baby chocobo.
The first 2 you draw from bosses and the last one is with the greens.
 
Also, in regards to Phoenix, you can get a phoenix pinion from doing the little subquest in Shumi Village......right at the top of the map, same continent as Trabia; other side of the mountains

Once you use a Phoenix Pinion once, Phoenix is the same as Odin and will just randomly appear as & when your characters die (although not always)........but I'm pretty sure you have to have phoenix pinions in your inventory or it won't appear
 
You could also obtain the Moomba GF through the use of the item: Friendship. Although I think the only way to acquire it is through Boko's Game.
How the hell do you do this? It's Boko you get through that sidequest, isn't it? If not ... then the strategy guide is telling lies. -__-

I know that you have Odin and Tonberry, now. Phoenix can be obtained by using a Phoenix Pinion - thereafter, Phoenix will randomly appear and revive your KO'd party. The liklihood of it appearing is dependant on the number of Phoenix Pinions in your inventory, so make sure to to refine a few from Phoenix Downs.

Also,
if you've heard about getting Gilgamesh, you'll acquire him by default at another point in the game by the unchangable sacrifice of another GF
, though I wont mention who.
 
There is also doomtrain, but you need to collect a whole bunch of different items to get him, and there is eden which you have to draw from either ultimate or omega weapon, and you can get bahamut from defeating him (i forget where though). there may be a few others i left out, but i haven't played the game for years, sorry!
 
I think there's only 4 normal GF's I have left to obtain. Doomtrain, Cactuar, Bahamut and Eden.

Doomtrain looks like a bugger to get. >__<
 
Doomtrain isnt all that hard, you need 6 steel pipes, 6 remedy +'s uh...... 6 marlboro tentacles........cant remember the last one....solomon ring from tears point and 666 itmes in your inventory, you can either refine items or cards

And you can't get Eden, Bahamut or Cactuar until you have the ragnarok either
 
I'm almost 100% sure that you need 666 items....if not then I have no idea where I pulled that from....... :wacky:

Edit* I have NO ea where I pulled that from xD

And it's just the items I said, there's not 4th......that's why I couldn't remember it <_<

You need the Pocketstation first; you can play a mini-game as Boko in which your objective is to save Mog. (something like that)
 
do they still make pocketstations? lol

Mod edit

Please keep on topic, this is considered spam, and I dont think pocket stations were ever released outside of Japan....were they?

Was the PocketStation only for sale in Japan? I've read about it before, but I've never heard of them for sale in the UK or US

Solomon's Ring: found at Tear's Point statue during trip to Lunar Gate (can't be gotten after Lunatic Pandora lands at Tear's Point)
Steel Pipe x6: Mug Wendigo, Card-Mod Elastoid
Malboro Tentacle x6: Defeat/Mug Malboro, Card-Mod Malboro
Remedy+ x6: GF Med LV-UP Remedy x60 Alexander GF Med Data first)
 
Poketstations were exclusive to Japan, even though it was compatible with games from other regions. Its a shame they didn't release them overseas; it was a memory card, clock, and mini-games console all in one. At any rate, if you want to try it out, download or buy the PC version of FFVIII; Boko's mini-game is included in the installation.
 
Wrong they were rare to find but a few were sold in the US.
At the research facility keep Zell in you party otherwise it would be too hard.
