• How to get the spells (cheatly)
------------------------------------
01. Hehe, you need a GameShark and you should known the GameShark
digit's order and functions.
02. Put the following code:
800765XX 64YY
XX indicates the POSITIONS of the spell of your choice.
Replace XX into digits from 38 to 76 with TWO DIGIT DIFFERS,
for instance:
38 (1st position), the next two digit of '8' is 'a', so
3a (2nd position), the next two digit of 'a' is 'c', so
3c (3rd position), and so on until 76.
Replace YY into digits from 01 to 38 with ONE DIGIT DIFFER,
for instance:
01 (Fire 1), the next digit of '1' is '2', so
02 (Fire 2), the next digit of '2' is '3', so
03 (Fire 3), the next digit of '3' is '4', and so
If the digit reach 09 (The 9th spell, Bolt 3), then :
09 (Bolt 3), the next digit of '9' is 'a', so
0a (Water, the 10th), the next digit of 'a' is 'b', so
0b (Aero), the next digit of 'b' is 'c', and so on.
If the digit reach 0f (The 15th spell, Flare), while 'f' is
the final digit, then :
0f (Flare), the next DIGITS of '0f' is '10', so
10 (Meteo, the 16th), the next DIGIT of '0' is '1', so
11 (Quake), the next digit of '1' is '2', so
12 (Tornado), the next digit of '2' is '3', and so on.
YY indicates the SPELL of your choice, choose spell(s) of
your choice on the list above, remember to resample the
number into GameShark digits.
03. On the game, go to the main menu, choose 'Mahou' / Magic menu,
then point the cursor to main character (in this case, Squall
or Laguna). Now you'll see the spell(s) of your choice at
maximum amount, and it doesn't decreased!
04. So, only Squall and Laguna could earned those *rearing* spells,
you think? No, all character were able to earn those pesky
spells too, by duplication. Repeat Method 03, select the
second option of the mahou / magic menu (exchange), choose
the spell you want to duplicate, then select the character,
then choose the top option (zentaika / gives all).
Eureka!! Now they've got Squall's magic. Although it's at
maximum amount, it does decreased.

• Massive spells combination for superb character's status
--------------------------------------------------------
01. Once again, you'll need a GameShark... (I know, I'm too cheap).
02. Repeat the methods above, BUT you must 'upload' none spell
than below :
Water, Aero, Bio, Demi
Holy, Flare, Meteo, Quake
Tornado, Ultima (yeah), Apocalypse (yeah), Cure 3
Life 2, Esuna, Dispel, Oora
Triple, Haste, Slow, Stop
Burain, Brake, Death, Drain
Berserk, Levitate, Merton, Full Cure
Levitator, none, none, none (you may fill these three freely)
03. After all characters earned all the spell, go to the Junction
Menu (you know, the top one), select a GF.
* For massive attack power, choose mastered Ifrit, Brothers.
* For extreme ATB speed, choose mastered Pandemonium.
* For massive magic power, (I think) choose mastered Shiva.
After choosing your GF, exit all the way into main Junction
Menu, choose the third option (auto max out). There are three
options, max out on ATTACK, MAGIC, and DEFENSE. Well, in this
case (or my suggestion, that is) choose the first (attack).
Then exit all the way, return to game.
04. Try on a battle, and see what I mean.
I've combined Diablo, Pandemonium, and Shiva on Quistis Lvl 44
with "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" whip, maxed out on ATTACK,
it does +800 HP damage and give enemies a status ailments.

• Selphie concert's instrument combinations
----------------------------------------
The instrument translation orders (during the intrument selections) :
01. Guitar : as percussion
02. Saxophone : as vocal 1
03. Electric Guitar : as percussion
04. Piano : as percussion
05. Violin : as vocal 2
06. Flute : as vocal 2
07. Electric Bass : as percussion
08. Tap Dance : as percussion
* For awesome touching effect, try combine Violin and Tap Dance with
other percussions.
My recommendations (you may choose the possessor freely):
Classical 1 : Tap Dance, Violin, Guitar, Piano
Classical 2 : Tap Dance, Flute, Guitar, Piano
No Theme 1 : Sax, Elec Bass, Elec Guit, Guitar
JUST NEVER COMBINE FLUTE WITH VIOLIN, ALSO WITH SAX, IT'LL SCREW
THE MUSIC UP, YOU WILL ONLY NEED ONE VOCAL INTRUMENT.
Any theme suggestions?

• What I've found on The Journey that you may do not know
----------------------------------------------------
It is an unfortunate that I was conscious(?) right after the Second
Disc, so I would start this section on the second disc.
- The following item were found on Desert Prison of Galbadia :
Power Sources, Tent, Cottage(GF and Party rejuvinator), Junk
Booklet Number 5(?), Phoenix Down, and GF Carbunkle.
Anyhow here's the way, search throughout the dungeon before you meet
up with Squall.
- World Map's Draw Point were found on :
Train tunnels (like Balamb's, Timber's), a dead-end-hard-to-describe
cliff near Timber-Deling City road (where you can fight the second
most frustating plain enemy, desert skeleton and its hands), and
I forgot the rest.
- FREE Ultima Draw Point was found on :
Dolph's house (the major?), on the front of the robot, Fisherman
Horison (after the concert).
- After you acquired the flying Balamb Garden, you're able to meet Odin
inside the hovering temple on north of Sentra area. After you beat
him, he will be possessable but not in GF form, he appears randomly
during battle, which is depends on your Luck Rate.
- Try this one : Equip GF Diablo's 'Encounter Disable' ability, go
to the Desert of Sentra on the southern island. If your Luck Rate
high enough, somehow you will gather an 'empty' battle.
A moments later, a UFO passed by, possessing a pyramid like things.
Then you've won the 'battle'.
- And I forgot the rest.
