Square Enix have updated the PC version of FINAL FANTASY VIII with the following:

 

 

High Speed Mode

 

Speedrunner special! This mode allows you to speed up certain parts of the game (cutscenes, movies, battles and more) by up to five times the regular speed!

 

Battle Assistance

 

Great for final boss battles or for taking on Ultima/Omega Weapon again, this booster grants you an always full ATB gauge, always full HP as well as making Limit Breaks always available. It's almost like cheating, except that your characters will still die if the damage they suffer from one hit is greater than their HP levels.

 

9999

 

Pretty self-explanatory! Your normal attacks, certain limit breaks and some Guardian Force (G.F.) attacks will always deal the maximum 9,999 damage.

 

AP Max

 

Ability Points (AP) are used to teach your G.F. new abilities. This booster therefore allows your G.F. to max out their APs when you're  on the world map. This should also help those of you attempting the No-Level challenge!

 

Magic and Gil Max

 

The magic booster, as before will give you 100 of each acquired magic spell, but this booster now also allows you to give yourself the maximum limit of Gil.

 

 

I think I'd rather the music patch....

Well that would just spoil the point of playing the game. Who came up with those things?

Square Enix's idea is for the side quests. But yeah, I'm not sure either. Someone at Square Enix NA or EU I'd assume.

"Is any of this for real? Or not?"

It's real...

Oh...so they're putting Gameshark mode lol

And still they haven't fixed the music...

As if the game wasn't easy enough...

Now you can beat Ultimecia while your sleeping.....yaaay

And still they haven't fixed the music...

 

This sadly be the truth.
