Other appearances[]

Items from Final Fantasy VIII appear in various spin-off games to the series as accessories or armor pieces (as Final Fantasy VIII lacks equipable accessories and armor, such pieces appearing as "items" instead) or materials. In Pictlogica Final Fantasy, Jet Engine, Rocket Engine, Healing Mail, and Silver Mail appear as accessories, while the Death Stone, LuvLuv G, and Shear Feather appear as materials. In Final Fantasy Record Keeper, many of the items from Final Fantasy VIII have been turned into equipment pieces, most notably weapons.

Behind the scenes[]

The Final Fantasy VIII PlayStation demo has two extra dummied command abilities that were removed for the second, non Rinoa demo: Fortify and W-Item. W-Item works the same as its equivalent in Final Fantasy VII and uses two items per turn.
