FFVIII Card Menu

The collection of Triple Triad cards in the Card menu.

The following is the list of Triple Triad cards in Final Fantasy VIII. The cards in the player's inventory can be viewed in the Cards section of the menu. If the player has had a card but lost/refined it, it will be grayed out. Filling the in-game card list has a gold star appear next to the Cards menu. Only one copy of the level 8, 9, and 10 cards can be held at once. If the Card Club sidequest has been completed, it is possible to win all level 8, 9, and 10 cards from the CC members onboard Ragnarok at endgame.

Once the player has held a rare card they can check where it is from the card menu. Highlighting a card in the menu shows at the bottom of the screen where the card currently is. Rare cards in the player's possession have their location as "Squall." For lost rare cards the menu shows the name of the area where the person holding that card is. If the player modded the card, the menu says it was "Used."

In the Steam non-remastered version, obtaining all cards earns an achievement.
