Revisited 02/13/24 9:37:38 PM #1:	Ultimecia basically chooses your party for you and completely messes up your junctions setup, so if you went in with squall Zell and quistis, she might change it to selphie squall and rinoa. You can still win and put her in her place, but its such an unnecessary dumb example of trying to make the fight difficult by going "oh, you don't know who I'll choose to be in your party" and I'm not gonna junction all 6 of my party members as a just in case when I can only max Stat 3 of them at a time. <cite>Revisited posted [p:978830835] in Is FF 8's ...

I just remember finding all the GFs and having trouble junctioning all the stats for three characters, let alone six. Yes, it is trivially easy to have a full team of six built characters by the time you are facing the final boss. As mentioned, by the end of the first disc you are already complete for a single team and that's ignoring the fact that you can pretty easily get a hold of items that let you add the ability to junction to any GF that you want. While I can't say that gearing out everyone is particularly that great of an idea, it is not hard at all to do so beyond a couple of very specific spell junctions (Ultima in particular is kind of a pain if you don't know the cheeky ways to get it). --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

If your gf page is not full yet you should look around on the map. you should be able to reach all of the map even on disc 4, though cities are closed. And there is a timer at one part in the castle, that's for the hardest boss. Still not sure who you mean. Odin? Gilgamesh?
