FF VIII Remaster Full Playthrough - Part 9: The Lunar Cry

FF VIII Remaster Full Playthrough - Part 9: The Lunar Cry

I am playing the remaster that came out in 2019 for PC. Chapters 0:00:00 Making our way to the Lunar Gate (Before entering the Lunar Gate be sure to head to Tear's Point which is on the edge of the map, to get Solomon's Ring, you will need it later, I would advise putting on no encounters , the Enemies you fight outside Esthar aren't worth it unless you want stuff you already have I also advise no encounters because of Malboros, they are also around Esthar and will wipe out unprepared players you can also rent a car but make sure you have lots of Fuel for it.) 0:13:23 Encounter Malboro, plan of action Run :0 (Malboro are the hardest random encounter in the game if you are not prepared run they can defeat you entire party in seconds, I wasn't that's why I ran) 0:25:33 Tear's Point (The only reason to come here now is to get Solomon's Ring and draw Life from the Draw Point, you will need Soloman's Ring later and now is the best time to come here.) 0:28:40 Lunar Gate (Once again you party is split up and I had to leave my boy Zell behind :( ) 0:33:50 What's that in the Sky is it a bird, is it a plane...No Its a UFO :D 0:38:20 O Lab and a plan to maybe stop Lunatic Pandora from achieving its goal (Zell and them return to Esthar City to speak with Doc Odine and find out it isn't a UFO but a place called Lunatic Pandora and they come up with a plan to try and stop it) 0:51:17 Inside Lunatic Pandora (There is nothing much to do in here you can explore a bit and there are some random battles but nothing to important, eventually a boss throws Zell and the party out of Lunatic Pandora and lands at Tears Point, thus beginning The Lunar Cry) 1:02:39 Arriving at Lunar Base to meet Ellone 1:07:01 Lunar Base (Here you can challenge both Piet the man that greeted you and Ellone to cards, they use a bunch of Rules, that I am not good with, so I just try my best. Piet gives you Alexander's Card but you have to of drawn Alexander from Edea, Ellone has Luguna's Card, they are not too hard to beat aside from the Random rule the rest is pretty straight forward but save before challenging them unless you know the Card Rules well and can use them, I didn't, so I battled a bit but got both cards, this is the first and only time to get these two cards once you leave Lunar Base you cannot return and can't challenge them again. There is a weird Jump cut its because I stopped recording and kept at Piet and Ellone and I eventfully beat them, the jump cut is after I beat them and continued with the story) 1:18:39 The Lunar Cry Begins 1:27:26 The final seal is released Sorceress Adel is free 1:31:10 Rinoa's Past and Finding out what happened to her (Ellone takes Squall into Rinoa's past and he finds out what happened to her after the battle against Edea) 1:37:03 Saving Rinoa (You do a mini game and try to catch Rinoa before she is lost in space, I failed it the first time but got her the second time) 1:55:20 Ragnarok (Squall and Rinoa find Ragnarok a really cool airship and can now get home but first the need to complete a puzzle, If you defeat a certain color Alien, you need to defeat its twin to completely get rid of the Aliens in Ragnarok, I got KOed the first time but then juctioned Death to Squall Status Attack and it made these fights much easier.) 2:23:38 Homeward Bound (This is a very nice scene in the game that I love but because of the copyright, we have to sit through a silent scene, Eyes on Me plays here its a great song and fits the scene perfectly but yeah Silence for us here) 2:32:25 Saying Good bye to Sorceress Rinoa (Such a sad scene here. You now have access to Ragnarok and the games has opened up again now we can go anywhere and this ship looks awesome and has an awesome soundtrack, Rinoa isn't a party member anymore until you rescue her from the Sorceress Memorial in Esthar) From here onwards I try to get Pupu's Card if you don't want to see this and get back to the story go to Time Stamp: 3:46:44 3:01:49 Kashkabald Desert - Ist Area UFO carrying a Pyramid, you just need to see the UFO in 4 places this is place 1 3:09:59 Outside Winhill - 2nd Area UFO Carrying a Cow 3:28:08 Mandy Beach - 3rd Area UFO carrying an Easter Island Statue 3:34:37 Health Penisula (A small Island off the Coast of Tribia, it took me a while to find the area - 4th Area UFO Carrying an unknown Artifact, after you find all 4 Area's head to the Forest Above the Chocobo Shire, Grandid Plans 3:40:55 Random Encounter UFO (After this fight head back to where Balamb Garden use to be and make sure you have 5 Elixirs) 3:43:32 Random Encounter Pupu (He asks for 5 Elixirs give them to him and you will get awarded his card.) Back to the Story 3:46:44 Rescuing Rinoa. Esthar The Sorceress Memorial. 3:52:42 Return to Edea's house - To make a promise to Rinoa.
