Although many years have passed and 5 other games in the series have been released, the classics will never die. I'm talking about Final Fantasy VII and VIII, that haven't lost their status of RPG kings, at least not in the eyes of the FF aficionados. Control the young Squall, a brilliant student that has just finished a military academy. He must protect the young witch Rinoa, while dealing with his own dreams and past. Not linked in any way to the previous FF games, the eighth part of the saga was a real breakthrough for those times. A revolutionary magic collecting system and a very simple weapon and ability assigning pattern made FF 8 everyone's favorite, but still the second most famous game in the series, as the first is the masterpiece called Final Fantasy VII.

Seed is the name of the official soldier brigade in FF 8. You have to take some tests before becoming a full-fledged Seed member. Here are the correct answers:

Hint: Level Up Quickly
There are two islands in the game called "The island closest to heaven" and "The island closest to hell". These two spots have the strongest monsters in the game.

"The island closest to heaven" is located just a bit east of the Chocobo sanctuary and is shaped roughly like a box.

"The island closest to hell" is west of Deling City and is shaped like a bent cross.

These islands contain very powerful creatures, and killing them is guaranteed to raise your party a level with each battle. They may be too tough to take on if you're below level 60 or so.

Unlimited Potions
Remember the bridge in Timber where the Galbadian soldiers were talking? If you go there with either Rinoa or Quistis in your party, a man may appear who will give you a Potion if you talk to him a couple of times. Leave this area and come back, then talk to the man again to get another Potion. You can do this as many times as you like.

Quick Leveling Up
If you have the Ragnarok, fly over to “The Island Closest To Heaven/Hell”. Make sure Quistis's HP is very low, so there is a good chance she will use a limit break (Auto-haste will help too, but you don't need it).

Encounter an enemy then quickly use Quistis's 'Degenerator' limit break. That will automatically kill the enemy and your party will gain a lot of EXP points.

Easy Money
To earn some sweet cash fast and easy, make sure you have Carbuncle's "Recov Med-RF" ability then head to Trabia region and fight an enemy called Mesmerize. Stock up on plenty of Mesmerize Blades by either defeating them, or mugging them. Use the Recov Med-RF ability to refine Mesmerize Blades into Mega-Potions, and then head to a shop to sell the Mega-Potions. 1 Mega-Potion alone is worth 5000G, and if you have Tonberry's "Sell-High" ability, then they are worth 7500G each.

Note: Tents and Cottages can also be refined into Mega-Potions, but I don't recommend this because you'll end up spending a lot of money just from buying them. Mesmerize Blades are free and are easy to obtain.

9999 Health
Get to level 43 or higher and draw or refine an item into 100 Curaga. Do not level up. Instead, Junction 100 Curaga to HP. If you are not at 9999 HP, put on HP +20%, HP +40%, or HP +80 %.

Infinite Gil
To do this, you must have the Recovery-Med RF ability and 100,000 Gil to start with. First, you buy 100 tents. You then RF it into 25 Mega-Potions and sell them. You will gain your 100,000 Gil investment and an extra 25,000 Gil. This can be enhanced by using Tonberry's Haggle ability.
