History

Gameplay

The gameplay of Final Fantasy VIII is slightly different from previous titles. Gaining magic is the most notable change. Instead of gaining experience and learning new spells yourself, you must "draw" your magic and spells from enemies and "draw-points".

Summon monsters are also back, but this time they are called "Guardian Forces". These Guardian Forces can gain Ability points to learn abilities. Each GF has unique abilities.

You are also able to Junction magic and GFs to raise your stats significantly. This is a very important part of the game, and those who make use of it tend to fare best.
