Final Fantasy VIII: How to get max Spr, Str, Mag and HP stats (255)

*edit: You can devour T-rexaur for Str Ups and Adamantoise for Vit ups. - xAshe10x

This is my third video, a video showing how you can get max gil, max Spr, max Str, max HP for any character you want.
However it takes a lot of time, but it's worth it ;) you should try it when you arrive at Esthar on Disc 3.

Requirments: GF Tonberry, GF Eden, GF Bahamut, GF Carbuncle, Gil (at least 135000)
GF Requirments:
-Tonberry: must learn all the shopping abilities (Haggle, Call Shop, Familliar, Sell-High)
-Doomtrain: must learn Forbid Med-RF
-Eden: must learn GFAbl Med-RF
-Carbuncle: must learn Recov Med-RF

Shops:
-Esthar Shop!!! should've been unlocked, if not, try to do everything in the video by buying tents (more time)
-Esthar Pet Shop (A MUST)
____________________________
A quick explination:
1 - Buy 100 Cottages(Tents), Refine them to Mega Potions using Recov Med-RF, Repeat until you have 100 Mega Potions
2- Sell the Mega Potions, Repeat until you have a large amount of Gil (I prefer max Gil)
3- Buy Force Armlets (For Spr)/Power Wrists (For Str)/Giant's Ring (For HP)/Hypno Crowns (For Mag) From the Esthar Pet Shop
4- Refine them to Magic Armlets/Hyper Wrists/Gaea's Ring/Royal Crowns
5- Refine the Magic Armlets for Spr Up/Hyper Wrists for Str Up/Gaea's Ring for HP Up/Royal Crowns for Mag Up using the Forbid Med-RF ability
6- Repeat until you max out your stats :) It's long tough but this is what i did to get my stats maxed out

I hope the video will help you out :) please comment on anything you didn't know so I can answer you :)

FAQs:
Q1: How do I unlock "Esthar Shop!!!"?
A1: When you arrive at Esthar, go the shopping mall, then keep clicking on Johnny's Shop (even if it says it closed, repeat and click again) until it opens once, then you'll have it in your Ability menu.

Q2: I can't find Cottages in the Esthar Shop!!!, Help?!
A2: Well this can be because of two things. You're shopping from the normal Esthar Shop (you gotta make sure there are 3 exclamation marks next to it. If not, then it's the normal shop), Or your Tonberry didn't learn the ability Familiar

Q3: I can't sell Mega-Potions at the same price you sold in the video. Why?
A3: Same thing. Check that your Tonberry had learn the ability Sell High

If you have any other question feel free to ask. Thanks :)

Or don't bother I'd rather get 100 Full Life spells to level 100 party members + HP+20% for 9999 HP.

After all my level 100 Squall ONLY had a base HP of 4600 and refining HP+'s for 9999 HP without junctioning ANY spell to HP just isn't worth it.

I did the same for Str or Magic ie 100 Ultima's and Str or Magic +40 and +60% set for 255 Str or Magic without having to refine or Devour enemies for the stat increase.

@Veghesther know it's kinda stupid, replying to a comment 4 months ago, but I've just seen it :P

I did this video because, the main point in your GF abilities is that you gotta max their stats by junctioning magic only, no +( -- %)s

Because if you could do that, you can junction other useful abilities like Auto-Haste, Counter, or junction Spd +40% and 20% since it's kinda hard to raise

Your characters, then, will be as fast as a bullet ;)

Thanks for you humble opinion anyway :)

[sediyon]

i think its doomtrain that has Forbid-med and not bahamut like it says in ur description xD

[MatrixAyoub]

@sediyon You're right. I'm sorry I'll edit that, my mistake :)

[SnOwMaNSn1PeR]

I cant watch the video because Zell wasnt in your main party. Thats disgusting. Fuck you.

[MatrixAyoub]

@SnOwMaNSn1PeR Calm down with the aggressive language eh? :)

This video was made to show how to raise the characters stats. Through the storyline, the first time I played the game (this video was recording my first time) I liked these 3 characters, the video tells how to raise any characters stat. I didn't say "Zell Excluded".

I'm sorry if it bothered you...

PS: Even now I use Rinoa instead of Quistis, I don't use Zell :)

[KissOfTwilight]

Very useful! Thanks

SEYMOUR !!!!!!!!!!!

[DeanoPiano]

@Cabuncle I agree

[Ai0n32]

lol or just get bahamut 4x ability get Jumbo cactuar ALL bonus and go to island closest to hell... its cheaper it takes a bit of time but it's cheaper

[Cabuncle]

what money bug?

that's meant by the game i would say.

actually this proofes that ff8 is a real game.

ff8 is for me the best game, there were so many things possible when you understood the mechanic behind it and if you spent a lot of time with it.

[soraxcloud157]

Is it a good thing that I'm only level 45 with squall on disc three and he's my strongest character?? but I am seed rank A And I have the ps3 version just got it to because old ps broke

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

Do you know how to make lots of gil without using the money bug? And do you know how to max the stats without using devour?
