Hey guys, it's time do the blogs I like best: Gaming stuff that could be made into a thread but meh.

Final Fantasy VIII has been my game of choice as of late and like Final Fantasies IV and VII before it, I will do my best to charter my progress through the game until it's finished or I come across something else more interesting. Final Fantasy V, for example.

Anyway I'm part way through Disk One and just semi finished Tomb of the Unknown King. By semi I mean that I've beaten the minotor GF the first time but I can't figure out where you're meant to go next to actually obtain him and his brother. I spent about half an hour or so Drawing Protect and Shell from the monsters that live in the dungeon, so now all three characters have 100 of each and each of them have Protect and/or Shell Junctioned to a stat.

This is how my party looks. For the record '@' means a spell is Junctioned to a stat eg 'HP - 1018 @ Cure x 100'.

Irvine - Level 16

HP - 1018 @ Cure x 100
Str - 33 @ Blizzard x 100
Vit - 50 @ Protect x 100
Mag - 22 @ Thunder X 100
Spr - 49 @ Shell x 100

Irvine has Shive and Diablos as his GF's and has his default shotgun.
--------------------------------------------------

Squall - Level 22

HP - 1529 @ Shell x 100
Str - 44 @ Fire x 100 (Plus Str+20% from Ifrit)
Vit - 15
Mag - 26 @ Thunder x 100
Spr - 14

Squall has Ifrit and Siren as his GF's although I might swap Siren for something else has he has very low Vitality and Spirit compared to the other two party members. He has his default Gunblade.
----------------------------------------------------

Selphie - Level 18

HP - 1262 @ Shell x 100
Str - 25
Vit - 49 @ Protect x 100
Mag - 26 @ Fire x 100
Spr - 12

Selphie has Quezacotl has her only GF, I was hoping to get Brothers from the Temple but I can't find them... She deals really small levels of damage with her attacks so I need to get her a GF that can boost her strength. She has her default Nunchucks.
-------------------------------------------------------

As you can see my party is pretty lopsided in terms of their stats due to the lack of GF's at this point. Plus stats Junctioned to Fire, Blizzard and Thunder are in need of replacing with better spells, so I might go hunting for enemies that can help me out.

The main reason I made this Blog was that I was thinking of making an LP out of it with whoever wants to join in. The above format is really all that's expected, just make comments on your team as you play through the game, or just post your endgame team, as well as your experience so far. All I'm looking for is some discussion about Final Fantasy VIII as we play through it because I love to talk about what I'm up to or what I've got planned next. You don't have to start from the begging, if you have a save file that needs completing, start from that point and keep going.

If no-one's interested I'll just keep it to my Blog as per usual. If you're keen to give it a go let me know and we can start as soon as possible. As I said, all you need to do is post your Party's stats, how you expect to level them up, what you're up to now, as well as your current and future plans. It shouldn't take too long to type out plus it can get some discussion going about Final Fantasy, because isn't that the point of a Final Fantasy based forum?

Peace out.
