Progress Update: what I did in FF8 today

I decided to start a daily update topic because I am playing the game and don't write or do graphics. The game is complicated as well. It is my first playthrough.

In the past day I finished Shumi and Trabia but haven't got the Selphie card as I didn't change the rules at all so I have to return for that if I want the card.

Squall is at level 56, the others are mainly in the 30s, but Selphie is level 19 because of not being available to play.

I feel like I need to make some decisions about whether to just proceed with the story or do sidequests. Part of me wants a Pocket Station for the chicobo/chocobo raising but otherwise I don't know if I'll do that. I haven't done the chicobo treasure hunt quest. I can't seem to find any UFOs. There doesn't seem to be much to do with just landing on places and fighting, the monsters are starting to repeat....unless I'm missing something?

Well maybe I should just move on with the story. I did find AbsoluteSteve's guide which is another help, :P but sometimes the walkthroughs aren't detailed enough when I'm stuck. I could not get the Balamb liberation to move along and literally had to reset and start over twice. That was with having two walkthroughs to read.

You have the mobile garden right? Go down to the desert area on the Centra Continent. There you can encounter Cactuars that give 20AP upon defeat. Although they have very little HP, they have super high evasion and run away a lot. So you have to be fast. You can get up to 80 AP per battle.

Okay I went to Cactaur Island and saw the UFO there but couldn't get on the island or figure out what to do with the UFO. I thought maybe I could get on the island by getting over the land and landing there by flying, but as I did that I flew into the scene that starts the battle by Edeas house. I saved in a new file in case it turned out I didn't want to start that yet.

But it turns out good I went ahead and did that part because I'm too over-leveled, it turns out. I took out Seifer and Edea without using any GF or magic, just with regular hits. I had to reset both Cerberus and the first Seifer fight because I hadn't successfully got the Mugged items before they went down. So I just put Squall on Draw, and Rinoa on Mug and used Irvine to knock off a little HP with his gun until Rinoa stole the items.

I'm still parked outside of Edea's and am going to try for the Edea card and reset if I don't get it. The rules are the same as in Trabia for the Selphie card and I just reset a few times until I won the card. I don't really get the Plus rules exactly but if I stick to the corners and defending I might get lucky again.

I guess I don't need to go to Cactaur just for the AP because there aren't that many abilities left to get so far. Cerberus is new, but the others are full. Did too much hunting already.
