| Name |
Description |
| Odin |
You must search out Odin's lair inside the Centra
Ruins and defeat him if you want him to join your cause. Odin is
not a controllable GF. Once he joins you, he'll randomly appear
at the start of about 1 in every 10 battles (except Boss fights).
Riding through the battlefield on his mighty steed, Odin uses his
sword Zantetsuken to cut your enemies in two. This attack kills
all enemies on the battlefield. This is sort of a blessing and a
curse. It's great when Odin appears and cuts down a powerful creature
like a Malboro, but if you're trying to stock up on magic or steal
an item from a rare creature it's a bit of a nuisance. |
| Phoenix |
You can only summon Phoenix by using a PHoenix Pinion
during a battle. When the Phoenix appears, it revives any K.O.ed
characters and restores some of their HP. Phoenix Pinions are hard
to come by, but once you've summoned Phoenix there is a random chance
that it will appear again later when your party is in trouble. |
| Boko the Chocobo |
As you probably already know, Chocobos are back in
Final Fantasy VIII. And once again you can summon a Chocobo to aid
you in battle. You won't be able to do this until you've solved
a puzzle in at least one of the many Chocobo Forests scatered around
the world. During a battle, use a Gysahl Green to lure the Chocobo
into attacking your enemies. |
| MiniMog |
MiniMog is more a GF ability than a GF. By using Mog's
Amulet, you can teach a GF the MiniMog ability. When called upon,
MiniMog will perform a dance that restores all of your GFs HP. This
is great to have at the end of the game when the Bosses actually
begin targeting GFs. Each time you use MiniMog in battle, it'll
cost you Gil. The amount varies based on your character's average
level time 100 Gil. So if your average level is 20, it'll cost you
2000 Gil. |
| Moomba |
Moombas are decent fighters due to their massive paws
and razor-sharp claws, but it sure doesn't seem like fighting is
the first thing they have on their minds. You can call upon a Moomba
by using a Friendship item in battle. |
| Gilgamesh |
Near the end of Disc Three, Gilgamesh will appear
if you already have Odin at that point. Gilgamesh is a lot like
Odin in that you can't control him and he appears randomly. The
biggest differece is that Gilgamesh can appear at any point during
a battle (even Boss fights). What happens depends on which of his
four sword attacks he selects: |
| Zantetsuken |
Cuts all enemies in half, resulting in death |
| Masamune |
Extremely strong attack against all enemies |
| Excaliber |
Strong attack against all enemies |
| Excalipoor |
Causes 1 point of damage to each enemie |
