L I S T O F G U A R D I A N F O R C E M O N S T E R S ======================================================================= NOTE: A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO STEVEN BRUCK FOR HIS FAQ ON THE G.F AND THEIR ABILITIES. IF YOU WANT TO VIEW JAPANESE, REFER TO HIS FAQs. HIS FAQs ARE VERY GOOD. Guardians are very important in the game as they can done devastating damage to your foes. They are the returning summons of FF7 and FFT. Summoning a G.F. will result a blue bar covering the character's time bar. The stats of the G.F. will be overlapping the character's stats. Guardian cannot be heal why staying in hotels/tent/Dormitory. They can only be healed by purchasing healing items such as G-Returner from Pet shops around the world. Guardians not only allows you to have an edge in combat, they also help in boosting up your character's ability. Learning this skills requires AP which can be won from battles against BOSS/monsters. EXP will causes the G.F. to level up. The higher the level, the more damage the Guardian will do against an enemy foe. This has been tested by me. If your Guardian has mastered the previous ability such as Summon Magic +10%, it will gain the second version, Summon Magic+20%. Also if that particular G.F has levelled up, It will also gain new abilities. ....................................................................... D I S C 1 G . F.

L I S T O F M A G I C ======================================================================= Magic are very often use in combats in Final Fantasy Series, especially used in FF7 and FFT. Magic also gives you the edge in combat against enemies. In FF8, magic can be drawn from Magic Stones and enemies. Magic could help in battle, like infliciting more damage on your enemy and help to restore lost HP. To use magic command, you must equip the G.F, along with the commands, MAGIC and DRAW. DO YOU KNOW ? It is possible that you will be able to cast 2 to 3 spells in a row, provided that you have stocked the magic during your last command. That is to cast Double or Triple and you will be able to cast spells in a single turn. Before you read the section below, here is some important rules about playing FF8: 1. NEVER ever use same-elemental based magic as the same-elemental monsters. It will do not damage on them or they will nulifie them [ in other words, use it to regenrate lost HP]. Example, using fire on the Ifrit 2. Fire-based monsters are basically weak against Cold/Water-based spells. This also applies vice-versa. 3. Humans basically are weak against status disorder and Poison. Poison on the other hand has no effect on mechnical beasts. 4. Lightning/Water/Cold works best against mechnical beasts.
