*This is for people who want to know! It's only going to be brief because it's pretty simple!*

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be telling people how to make something to mind numbingly easy but if not I'd appreciate someone telling me so, and where to post in future ^^

Also I'm going to post the tip as a spoiler just in case someone changed their mind and doesn't want to know. Because I'm thoughtful like that.

Spoiler:
Okay, if you enjoy levelling up and beat monsters in the field etc. then you are going to find FF8 very hard to beat. My first playthrough was a struggle, very enjoyable but lots of loading after being destroyed. When I got to the 4th disc I reached level 100 by going to the island of hell (east of Balamb) and using Quistis' limit break 'degeneration'. And upon a final battle with Ultimecia found it incredibly hard, even with GF's (she expels them) and lots of magic and limit breaks.

Pretty much the whole point of what I've just said, is that the game is level capped. On my most recent playthrough (few months ago) I learned this, and the game was a breeze.

So...
1. Don't level your characters, flee any battle possible. (Boss battles with give your GF's experience but not you!)
2. Draw as much magic as possible, whenever possible.
3. Make your GF's learn junction abilities. THEY ARE KEY FOR MAKING YOUR PARTY STRONG!


If anyone wants more tips or help, feel free to ask.

Hope this helps in playthroughs of FF8 to come.
