Your Final Fantasy 8 Weapons
You know I'm too nice. Here I've listed every single item you'll need to update your characters weapons, what's the easiest creature to get it from, and where you can easily find that creature. This is arranged by *character*, and gives the total number of items you need if you get *every* weapon. Keep in mind that some items are MUGGED from creatures, that means you use your mug ability and attack it until you get what you want, while some items are DROPPED by creatures. That means you have to defeat the creature and pray you get what you're hunting for.
