It's true that the first impression we get from something is usually the strongest. My first part of the series was 7 and I love it more than the others. I've played most old games till 9. However the intro video was nothing less than epic, Tripple Triad was innovative and the draw system... interesting. Even though I spent entire battles just with the "draw" function whenever a new spell appeared in the game xD The story was okay, but I couldn't get myself to like Rinoa, because she acted like a spoiled princess half of the time.
Samma Khan I died like literally 200 times to Omega weapon, getting Eden from him and trying to finish him off was extremely hard, almost broke my PS1 controller lol
those where the days when we didnt have to pay extra to finish a game or get extra content or items. When you just need to buy a game play and finished it, now its all about money. Talk about downloadable content and pay to win.
even though I knew all of them, or so I thought...this is the first time I actually saw ChocoMeteor and Moogle Dance....never thought I'd actually see something new :,) brings back memories from the first one I ever completed with blood and sweat, gosh them good times xD
I'm not sure how many people are aware of this, but Carbuncle has a rare 'Emerald Light' ability also... it casts a different spell on your party and the ruby stone on the forehead becomes an emerald stone for the animation, I saw it a few times but I never knew what triggered it... I also remember(more vaguely) Odin having a rare Animation where he has a lance attack, it didn't usually kill but it did serious damage to 1 enemy. again I never knew what triggered it.
Nomir Emus i did a little research, it turns out carbuncle emerald light ability came from final fantasy ix, and odin lance attack came from final fantasy vii.
Asri Ashary I distinctly remember casting Emeraald Light in fight leading to Edea at the parade. the odin Lance I might have been mistaken, but I remember rubbing my eyes like 'wth is he doing with a green stone, other wise the video was exactly as this one is, and the ix animation is noticeably different.
I played FF8 to death, hundreds of hours and NEVER seen the Moogle Dance summon / Limit break! nor any of the Chocobo summons at the end of video WTF?!!! Was that only in Japanese version?
he can hit 9999 at lvl 100 with a chance of instant death, had he able to break demage cap he would be the most broken gf in the game with his 100% hp demage.
Yes definitely, the official remaster for some bizarre reasons omitted some of the GF's roar and sound effects, oh and Siren got censored, whats with the silly feathered panties
I'd forgotten how cute Carbuncle was until I saw this. Also, I don't remember ever using Tonberry when I played (I never finished it so possibly never got far enough to use him)....did it really said "Doink!" like that when he attacked?!
I always loved Brotherly Love, it makes me laugh. Also forgot how long some of the summons were. Loved how Excalipoor does the best damage ever, it wouldn't even kill a fly. The Moogle Dane, just love how they show the enemy after the summoning, pondering if it was meant to hurt.
Why cant they bring back some of these summons in future games Diablos in HD re done graphics would be awesome, this has to have the best Bahamut entrance ever and about 10mins of this video belonged to Eden lol
fuck this takes me back a good 15 years collected them all except that green dude. i missed it. will always love doom train the most. pretty sure i had all the cards too was a huge fan of them. you could boost these by pressing select than spamming square if i can remember right. but after a while you stop using them once you equip that other stuff to attack and 1 hit anything
That's because of the boost feature or something (the one where you hold select and spam the square button to increase damage), I think the developer's of the game purposely made it extra extra long so that the boost number will definitely be at the max of 255. The other GF's could only go up to 170 or so if you were fast enough, so reaching the max allowed Eden to do preposterous amounts of damage - and he's the only entity in the game that could exceed the damage cap of 9999.
+XellDincht yeah I suppose you're right. It can get extremely tedious once that gauge is on 255 and you still got 60 minutes of that cinematic remaining.
Cactuar could also go over 99999 HP since his attack is level based, when you level him up till 100th level he'll do 100 (level) x 10 dmg which is 10000 damage.
Вот чем мне нравится эта игра? Я прочитал все гайды, прошел её много раз, а она всё равно меня удивляет чем-то новым. Это единственная игра, которая способна приятно удивить даже когда тебе кажется, что ты знаешь о ней всё))
I thought the moogle is the dude from secret of mana, the ice parts or hmm,will have to look into that, thought moogle was secret of mana, chocobo is all ff( in every game I think) don't quote me though, just don't recall moogle in any ff game. Nice to see Ernest hemingway the waytraveller rabbit in final fantasy IV afteryears though make a few hidden discoveries.
+battletoads22 Because you had to obtain rare items and then use up those rare items during battles, which basicly noone would do with a logic sense of mind. Unless you had a gamesave before going into battle and just use the item to see what it did. And then ofcourse go back to the restore point so you still had the item for the more 'usefull' purpose during the game such as refining it.
Somehow I find it saddening so to see this on YT by the way. Back in the days when I played this game for the first time, I put in hours and hours of effort just to see all this stuff in the game itself ... and now these days here on YT it's viewable without any effort. ESPECIALLY when it's something new I didn't see before in the game back then. It totally takes the magic of the game away. Ofcourse happy to have seen something new, because I knew damn well what I could've excpected by clicking on the video which was my own choice, but at the same time I wish I wouldn't have done so. So that I would've come across it during the next time I would play this game after 2 decades or so.
It's such a contrast between the super-serious storyline and some of the... really weird summons. Also: *destroys an entire galaxy* *still only does 14,000 damage*
I've always thought of it as a 'thing' that transcended all notion of space, time, and the universe, appearing before you majestically before hurling the enemy's ass into the epicentre of a star/galaxy so fast that it goes 'supermassive', exceeding the mass of a collapsing star that it tears the fabric of space around it, i.e. black hole, ultimately disintegrating the enemy within. Yeah, powerful stuff.
+Psycho Mikey Gilgamesh requires you to get Odin before fighting Seifer in disc 3; Odin will try to attack Seifer, but gets killed, and then Gilgamesh takes his place. Phoenix requires a Phoenix Pinion to be used in battle. The last 3 are summoned using items that are only obtainable through Chocobo World, the PocketStation minigame. The PocketStation was never released in the US as far as I know, so I think a gameshark or something similar is the only way to get them.
I remember getting a Pocketstation just for this game (I can't remember where I saw the import advertised. Might have been a magazine at the time). Honestly, the only reason to play Chocobo World was for these summons. The game itself was not fun at all. With the exception of Ridge Racer Type 4, this was the only game I could find that used the Pocketstation for anything. Money well spent.
I swear Eden uses as much power not destroying the planet when it attacks as it does destroying your enemies. (pardon me while i turn earth into a QUASAR, this'll just take a moment)
This is Mini-Mog, bro =) It can be obtained by playing a mini game You saw the card with its image? I was able to get this GF only on the PC version =)

![Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - All GF Summons [4k-60FPS]](/img/tr.png)
First Final Fantasy i ever owned. Maybe that's why I'm biased, but i love this game. Apparently that's not a popular opinion
Ryan Tyminski me too it was the first massive game I had for my first pc, and I lived the game entirely
Ryan Tyminski im right there with you buddy
Ryan Tyminski i love this game my self too i chose it ove 7 any day but 7 is still fun to play
same here
It's true that the first impression we get from something is usually the strongest. My first part of the series was 7 and I love it more than the others. I've played most old games till 9. However the intro video was nothing less than epic, Tripple Triad was innovative and the draw system... interesting.

The story was okay, but I couldn't get myself to like Rinoa, because she acted like a spoiled princess half of the time.
If you are watching this budy,,,, You are getting old... !
Hah! Jokes on you. This year I'll only be turning...
...wait a minute...
...OH DEAR GOD!!
I'm only 18... 🙁
And if you are saying that your maturity is on the minus scale.
I'm 32. Was about 20 when I first played it.
I'm 29 and still playing games lol. But never will I find a game better than this. The GF sumons are better than most of other entire games.
FF8 graphics and animations really pushed the PS1` to the limit! AMAZING game! And the BEST summons of any FF :D
4:40
Those are some really, really nice water effects for a PS1 game.
Everything besides the character models are impressive on FF8
see leviathan from ff9 then
I got 100% in this game. Got all GFs, all cards, all of the highest weapons for all characters. Those were the days!
Leonhart407 brother have 2 diferents atacks?
Did you also manage to defeat Ultima Weapon and Omega Weapon?
Samma Khan
I died like literally 200 times to Omega weapon, getting Eden from him and trying to finish him off was extremely hard, almost broke my PS1 controller lol
those where the days when we didnt have to pay extra to finish a game or get extra content or items. When you just need to buy a game play and finished it, now its all about money. Talk about downloadable content and pay to win.
But did you get Moomba and chocobo GF?
even though I knew all of them, or so I thought...this is the first time I actually saw ChocoMeteor and Moogle Dance....never thought I'd actually see something new :,) brings back memories from the first one I ever completed with blood and sweat, gosh them good times xD
When Seifer kills Odin I jumped from my couch and yelled WHAT THE FUCK
I saw these animations A LOT when I was a kid. Didn't bother learning how to actually play the game so I just summon spammed XD
I'm not sure how many people are aware of this, but Carbuncle has a rare 'Emerald Light' ability also... it casts a different spell on your party and the ruby stone on the forehead becomes an emerald stone for the animation, I saw it a few times but I never knew what triggered it...

Nope that was FF9. He does diamond light, ruby light & emerald light.
I played FF8 to death, hundreds of hours and NEVER seen the Moogle Dance summon / Limit break! nor any of the Chocobo summons at the end of video WTF?!!! Was that only in Japanese version?
Well that bring memories. The best ones by the way. :')
3:41
“Hello...? Who called me? ... Oh, hi there!“
*casts Ruby Light*
“Bye...“
~ my favourite was Diablos. No boost + percentage damage + looks cool AF.
he can hit 9999 at lvl 100 with a chance of instant death, had he able to break demage cap he would be the most broken gf in the game with his 100% hp demage.
The best GF look of all times
is it just me or are the explosion sounds sound really cool for this game?
like the pewwwwwwwCHCOOOOOo sound that diablo and quezcolt makes
goosebumps every time with quezacotl and grievers shockwave pulsar
When Ifrit hits that ball of fire and growls! OMFG listen to it in surround sound!!! amazing!
It's how crunchy and punchy they all are
Yes definitely, the official remaster for some bizarre reasons omitted some of the GF's roar and sound effects, oh and Siren got censored, whats with the silly feathered panties
They should remake this game, I'd love to see these gfs with the graphics of today
NO
12:13
“Fool! You're facing the mightiest swordsman in all Ivalice!! You face ME!! GILGAMESH!!!“
😉😅
"Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men!"
The time has come and so have I!
Sadly, you make me wanna play this game in my early 2018
using Shiva against a Bomb.....poor BOmb
I'd forgotten how cute Carbuncle was until I saw this.
Also, I don't remember ever using Tonberry when I played (I never finished it so possibly never got far enough to use him)....did it really said "Doink!" like that when he attacked?!
watching this brings back so many memories.
Brotherly Love is hands down the most epic summon animation ever.
i miss this game. the best final fantasy bar none for me
Same man.
I always loved Brotherly Love, it makes me laugh. Also forgot how long some of the summons were. Loved how Excalipoor does the best damage ever, it wouldn't even kill a fly. The Moogle Dane, just love how they show the enemy after the summoning, pondering if it was meant to hurt.
best ff ever....dont care who disagrees.
man I definitely didn't get all of them back w hen I played this as a kid. I had most.. but.. not all.
Damn I forgot the amount of GF's there were in this game.
the Pc version have better sound effects during Gfs appearances. I would LOVE they could make FF8 with the graphics of nowadays.
Luzitanium Too bad the music was all MIDI
*****
of course if they would remade the game to more present graphics the sound would be included to that update.
Why cant they bring back some of these summons in future games Diablos in HD re done graphics would be awesome, this has to have the best Bahamut entrance ever and about 10mins of this video belonged to Eden lol
Nakatomi Uk he's in ffxiv.
Thank you, bro, you're the best!!!
Respect you from Russia =)
Man, I thought I had all the GFs. Did't get the moogle, and that orange cat thing. Nice video, very nostalgic
had so much fun playing this, just listening the sounds makes me happy
how do you the minimog moomba and the last 2 chocobo attacks?
Really enjoyed this game! By the end you wish you could skip some of the GF animations but what a fantastic story!
fuck this takes me back a good 15 years collected them all except that green dude. i missed it. will always love doom train the most. pretty sure i had all the cards too was a huge fan of them. you could boost these by pressing select than spamming square if i can remember right. but after a while you stop using them once you equip that other stuff to attack and 1 hit anything
Ok what the hell is tge Moogle Dance? I never got Gf!!
Pocket station only which is Japan only or if you bought FFVIII off of Steam for the PC version.
The old PC version has it too!
I knew this game since i was a kid way back 1999 and guess what, i only managed to play this awesome game this July 2019.
The awkward silence after the mog says it all about the animation of it. I expect whatever monster you are against to go, "Er... What?"
Eden`s summon is waaaaay to long
That's because of the boost feature or something (the one where you hold select and spam the square button to increase damage), I think the developer's of the game purposely made it extra extra long so that the boost number will definitely be at the max of 255. The other GF's could only go up to 170 or so if you were fast enough, so reaching the max allowed Eden to do preposterous amounts of damage - and he's the only entity in the game that could exceed the damage cap of 9999.
Sean Chen yes i get that but i think it would have been nice to have a skip button
+XellDincht yeah I suppose you're right. It can get extremely tedious once that gauge is on 255 and you still got 60 minutes of that cinematic remaining.
Cactuar could also go over 99999 HP since his attack is level based, when you level him up till 100th level he'll do 100 (level) x 10 dmg which is 10000 damage.
Bahamut also goes over 9999 limit cap in FF8.
1 is Quetzalcoat, 2 is Shiva (diamond dust).
I loved the story of FF7 better But the Summons in FF8 were EPIC!!!
It's so funny doing Hell fire, and Eden and that to bite bugs lol. I remember doing that.
These were and still are so badass
Odin forever.
Вот чем мне нравится эта игра? Я прочитал все гайды, прошел её много раз, а она всё равно меня удивляет чем-то новым. Это единственная игра, которая способна приятно удивить даже когда тебе кажется, что ты знаешь о ней всё))
the graphics aged surprisingly well.
Bahamut is definitely the most epic GF in the history of FF
Simply the best FF game. Storyline, characters graphics give it’s age
Back when character attacks were incredibly mundane compared to Summons, making them that much more special when used...Good times...
Chocobacle - anything that is butt-slammed by Big Chocobo might as well be lifted up with a spatula! 🥞🥞🥞
I never figured out how to get the Moogle. :(
I thought the moogle is the dude from secret of mana, the ice parts or hmm,will have to look into that, thought moogle was secret of mana, chocobo is all ff( in every game I think) don't quote me though, just don't recall moogle in any ff game. Nice to see Ernest hemingway the waytraveller rabbit in final fantasy IV afteryears though make a few hidden discoveries.
I guess it was only available on a pocket version of the game.
I just need Bahumat Eden & Doomtrain
This is just attack of Defense of Breath of Fire IV Dragon Summon
I remember taping these to VHS...
My favorite was always diablo's
I had never seen some of those at the end.
+battletoads22 Because you had to obtain rare items and then use up those rare items during battles, which basicly noone would do with a logic sense of mind.

Some required a Pocketstation which were Japan-Only for the likes of MiniMog, Moomba and a bunch of the different Boko summon effects.
Somehow I find it saddening so to see this on YT by the way. Back in the days when I played this game for the first time, I put in hours and hours of effort just to see all this stuff in the game itself ... and now these days here on YT it's viewable without any effort.

It's such a contrast between the super-serious storyline and some of the... really weird summons.
Also:
*destroys an entire galaxy*
*still only does 14,000 damage*
Selphie's Limit Break (The End) vs. Omega Weapon. Lol!
7 and 8, skip 9 then X is really cool ill add 12 also since that one allows big dummy damage
Wow I missed that moogle dance one.
That bite bug didn’t need to be destroyed like that
I do not remember that bloody Moogle dance!
Eden always was FUCKING RIDICULOUS. I don't even understand what it does
sakazakijin it sends you to another galaxy during a solar event
I've always thought of it as a 'thing' that transcended all notion of space, time, and the universe, appearing before you majestically before hurling the enemy's ass into the epicentre of a star/galaxy so fast that it goes 'supermassive', exceeding the mass of a collapsing star that it tears the fabric of space around it, i.e. black hole, ultimately disintegrating the enemy within. Yeah, powerful stuff.
Add in the fact that it has Break Damage Limit. Seeing most often the highest damage that you can do is 9999 yet it has five digits for damage.
Anyone else get yelled at by mum cause the GFs were so much louder than the base game lol
Vll, Vlll, and X are the best Final Fantasy games. I have them all but there not like 7,8, or 10.
They should have added more.
okay so what the hell is eden supposed to be? it has a cape lol i never noticed that before
My sister called him the jellyfish of hell
It is really painful to watch EDEN showing off
the chocobo ones are fine, but the other slapstick summons are not fitting well imo
how do u get the last 5?
+Psycho Mikey Gilgamesh requires you to get Odin before fighting Seifer in disc 3; Odin will try to attack Seifer, but gets killed, and then Gilgamesh takes his place. Phoenix requires a Phoenix Pinion to be used in battle. The last 3 are summoned using items that are only obtainable through Chocobo World, the PocketStation minigame.

With the exception of Ridge Racer Type 4, this was the only game I could find that used the Pocketstation for anything. Money well spent.
you look for them
Final fantasy viii amo muito!
My top GF

16:13 OH LAWD HE COMIN
I swear Eden uses as much power not destroying the planet when it attacks as it does destroying your enemies. (pardon me while i turn earth into a QUASAR, this'll just take a moment)
WHAT? MOOGLE DANCE? HOW?
This is Mini-Mog, bro =)
It can be obtained by playing a mini game
You saw the card with its image? I was able to get this GF only on the PC version =)
LMAO ChocoMeteor XD

FALSE TITLE!! NO GRIEVER!!
Wow these are so bloated. I feel sorry for people who got into this series after it went 3D and lost its restraints.
