=============================================================================== == Final Fantasy VIII - French/English Faq == =============================================================================== Name of game: Final Fantasy VIII Type of guide: equivalences between French and English in-game terms Platform: Playstation, PC Version: 2.01, released on 20th August 2007 Author: Julien Darthenay (Juju Dredd) <juju(dot)dredd(at)free(dot)fr> Made in: MS Notepad, Notepad2 Best view: MS Notepad, Notepad2, Mozilla Firefox (Iso-8859-1) Warning ======= Because French is French, some characters in this faq are not standart ASCII.

Because a player using a French game will have a lot of difficulties to translate most of in-game terms. In most case, the French term is not the translation of the English one, this is the problem. Thanks to this faq, any player will be able to use any in-depth faq with the French game. What is coming next ? I think I should add the guardian forces ability list. What will never be done ? Anything useless to use other faqs. _______________________________________________________________________________ [3] Table of Contents =========================================================================== To proceed to the beginning of section x, just search the string [x]. To proceed to the subsection y of section x, just search the string [x.y]. With most modern navigators you can search a string by Holding the Crtl button while pressing F. 1. Coypright 2.
