Final Fantasy VIII - Raising Statistics Using Cards and Magic
Statistics are a huge factor to deal with when playing Final Fantasy VIII. Your
best solution is to keep on top of things; make sure you draw 100 of every magic
you see with each character, and junction that to your stats. Other ways are to
get items to raise them. Another way is using cards. If you use the ability:
Card Mod which Quezacotl has, you can refine cards into items, that can in turn
be refined into magic. This is an excellent way of boosting your stats near the
beginning of the game, when there aren't a hug variety of enemies around.
Use the charts below to find out what the best modifications are and what you
will need for them.
