Have any of you ever tried to get any of the Ultimate weapons in disk 1? I'm replaying FFVIII at the moment, and I'm up to Deling City and I've already gotten Squall, Selphie and Zell their ultimate weapons, as well as the penultimate weapons for Rinoa and Quistis ^^

Nothing for Irvine though, he sucks :wacky:

I'm gonna try and get the other three their ultimate weapons in disk 2, because I needed Energy Crystals for Rinoa and Quistis, and there was no way I was gonna get 100 Elnoyle cards, but apparently it's far easier to get them in Disk 2, and as for Irvine, you can't get his ultimate weapon until disk 2 anyway. xD
 
Don't you need Weapons Monthly 1st for those?

Forgive the ignorance, but as you can see, I've never had the ultimate weapons so early :p
 
Lol, nah, you don't need the Weapon Monthlys, if you have the ingredients to make the weapons, then it will appear on the store menu.

I was gonna try Squall's Ultimate Weapon on Disk 1, but I got round to the time, and I couldn't be arsed.

I always get Squall's Lionheart when I play the game now, every time I start a new game, it's just what I start doing. I also get Zell's weapon, but I hardly have to work that hard for it, you pretty much are able to get all of his items with little effort. But those damn Elnoyle cards for Squall, what a bitch.
 
I think I usually got them on disc 2 once I had control of the Garden. Attempted to get Lionheart on disc 1, but couldn't be bothered with trying to get the Elenoye cards. I had about 5 and I'd played a lot of god damn cards by then! ^_^

Didn't think about the others tbh. That was the only one I was bothered about.
 
There's just no way on this earth I have the patience for this, I don't get the weapons til muuuch later on, Im just too lazy, I can't say Ive EVER tried, so it might not be as pain staking as I imagine it to be, it just reeks of effort, and well, bragging rights. Don't think it's anything Il ever bother with tbh
 
i never tried to get the ultimate weapon on disk 1 nor will i ever try it. its just too much work. when i play it, only my first run through i actually try and get the weapon by the end of the game but if its not my first runthrough, i don't actually go out of my way to get the weapons, if i just happen to have the material then ill get it, if not, ill just go through the game without the ultimate weapons. some of them is just too much hassel for me
 
I was under the impression that you needed to get the certain Weapons Monthly magazines in order to unlock the best weapons. But if you have the "ingredients" already, it'll show up at Junk Shops? How about the game being an international version, will that make a difference?

Anyways, I do all side-quests and such, and I do them as early as possible, but as far as "ingredient" farming is concerned, I don't rush that. So even if I could get the weapons and all the items, I wouldn't break my back to go about it, I'd wait until those items are more easily accessable. But that's just me :P
 
My brother always plays this game until he gets the ultimate weapon. Then its like OK best thing is over, now I'm gonna play something else. Which I think, is pretty dumb. But whatever rocks your socks...

I usually try and get the ultimate weapon for Squall, but I cant be bother with the rest. The game is easy enough without the weapons anyway.
 
Holy ambitious o_O To be honest, I never even thought about getting their ultimates so early. And while a cool personal challenge, it would piss me off to no end xD
 
Ok so its pretty hard but here's the guide for when ur on disk 1.......
for the ADAMANTINE:just go to longshore isle (near dollet and fight an adamantoise)
for the 4 dragon fangs: use level up on some t-rexaurs and hope they drop some they ARE pretty rare but all you nedd to do is equip someone with blind attack and the t-rexaur killing will be a walk in the park.
As for the 12 pulse ammo..in Laguna's 2nd dream world go into the romm with long stairs and the ceiling cchanges to a purple kind of colour elastoids usually appear there.If u have diablos then learn the MUG ability and use it on the elastoids.(it took me more than 30 mins to get these so dont complain!)

PS: IF YOU DONT HAVE DIABLOS THEN YOU WILL NEED ENERGY CRYSTALS(10 ELNOYLE CARDS=1 ENERGY CRYSTALS.....MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS!)
HOPE THIS HELPS!

I read on someone's blog that you could do this, and so I gave it a shot. I only got Squall and Zell's though. Selphie, I remember something kept me from completing hers. I don't know why I did it - I think it was just one of those things I did for the sake of. Makes certain fights ridiculously easy, doesn't it?
 
the battles with lionheart equipped are very easy yes and when ur lucky enuff that squall uses lionheart(limit) then i dont think that any boss up to the 2nd disk kan withstand a single limit ( APART FROM TONBERRY KING(TOO ME AGES TO FIND HIM AND AGES TO BEAT HIM TOO )

AND BY THE WAY HOW DO YOU GUYS GET star fragments on the first disk?? I tried using level up on t-rexaurs and getting them to drop them but it takes ages....any other ways??

I'm pretty sure T-Rexaurs are the only way. The problem is, it takes up so much time killing them. I think it's because they come in 2 levels. One's a lower tier, that can only drop Dragon Fangs, and the other, the higher tier, is the one that'll give you Star Fragment. When you do it, proceed with caution, 'cause this thing can drop you pretty quickly. It's kind of a pain, but I actually felt like getting the Adamantoise for Squall was more tedious.
 
I haven't played FFVIII in a while, but i seem to remember getting Squall's Ultimate Weapon on disc 1.... took quite a while though... a lot of refining involved as well....
 
i only get the punishment gunblade for squall and that's it.. after the fire cavern mission, i play cards and card mod them to items.. go to shop, make punishment.. magic refine some good items from modded cards.. junction 20% 40% str ability to squall using ifrit and flare to str.. junction level 3 magic in elem-j depends on enemy and voila! level 7 squall with 137 str and a sure 1 hit kill for every enemy, even boss with just a normal attack... but just in disc 1 LOLz.. XD

i played last night to check the actual str.. it was only 137 but i did kill a t-rexaur with 1 hit but with blizzaga on elem-atk and trigger..
