Triple Triad; I'm actually taking this seriously...

During my first playthrough of FF8 I played a few games of Triple Triad, and I thought "screw it" and I went on to complete the game without playing cards.

Now during my current playthrough, I've been playing cards with virtually everybody I meet, and I've managed to pick some rare cards and with Quezzie's Card Mod ability, you can yield some pretty neat items. I'm actually taking this card game seriously. I've already completed the CC Group Sidequest on Disc 2. I've got Zell, Seifer, Selphie, Quezactol, Ifrit, Minotaur, Sacred, Carbuncle, Levaiathan, Diablos, Angelo, Pandemona, Gilgamesh, MiniMog and most of the bosses in Ultimecia's Castle cards. With these, I'm unstoppable!! But I have a hard time adapting to these new rules and I usually just stay away from Random rules and the like.

So, let's discuss the card game. Do you like it? Do you find it beneficial? Anything? DISCUSS!!

The Card game is one of the more useful sidequests in the game and I enjoy it quite a lot. As I said in the tips and tricks its an easy way to get the Punishment before the SeeD test. Also its a nice way to get magic stones to create the various sorts of magic when a draw point is no where to be found.

The only problem I have is the various rules. I understand them but I prefer the simple open with the diff card gain.

You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

My favourite rules are Open, Same, Same Wall and Difference ^_^ As for playing it, I find it both addictive and useful. It's a great way to enjoy the game when you want a break from the battles, and can yield some extremely helpful items.

I, for one, also tend to Card Mod Gesper (as mentioned in it the Tips topics) before the Fire Cavern, in order to get Quistis' Degenerator move ^_^

.............................You can play Cid for Seifer before disc 3???

I'm gonna kick that old dude's ass. Personally my current good cards are Zell, Quistis, Ifrit, Sacred, Minotaur, Angelo, Minimog, Diablos (thinks)
I card mod everything so I can't remember what cards I used to have. That's how I play randoms: it can only give you random GOOD cards mwahaha!

You stay away other rules, eh? On the Space Station, they have ALL rules. Same with the Orphanage. The Space Station is where you can get Alexander and Laguna, and you win Edea from Edea at the orphanage.

I love the card game. I got almost every card last time I played through; I was missing the Queen of Cards quest cards since I'd forgotten how to start it up.

Oh, and to get the Quistis card, play either of the two Trepies in the 2F Classroom. They randomly have Quistis in their hand.

Oh, and lose your Ifrit card to Rinoa's dad in Deling to have him play the Rinoa card.

You can win it back in FH.

In Dollet, play the old dude in the pub, second floor, to get into a secret room where you can win the Siren card.

.........

(I'm going to go make a topic on rare card locations)

You can also get Quistis' card by playing the guy sitting in the back at the right hand table in the cafeteria before going to the fire cavern ^_^

i dunno if this was a glitch or something but the weirdest thing happened on my game, i completed the CC card quest, and when i got to disc 4, all the CC members were in there...which i knew would happen, but i faced one of them, and some how they had a gilgamesh even tho i refined it for the omega weapon battle!!!! i won it, and got my gilgamesh back, the more i played i realized, every time i lose a rare card or refine it, i can win it back from tthose guys, (except for some of the cards from the card queen quest) i refined so many items from this cuz id just refine the items and win the card back, anyone else get this to happen?

Yeah, it happened to me as well. Although it shouldn't be possible logically, I think it's so that you have a chance to have all the cards when you finish the game. :P
