Final Fantasy VIII/Debug Room

This is a sub-page of Final Fantasy VIII.

A handy map for navigational purposes. Yabuta, Iriguchi, and Moriya's pages will crash in the JP version!

As in FF7, there is a very detailed debug room in FF8.

To enter it, enter the following codes into your GameShark:

NTSC-U:

D00705E8 010F
800704A8 0001
D00705E8 010F
800704AA 0049

NTSC-J: (WARNING! Some debug rooms WILL crash! These will be noted.)

D006F308 000F
8006F1C8 0001
D006F308 000F
8006F1CA 0049

PAL:

D0070A98 010F
80070958 0001
D0070A98 010F
8007095A 0049

Then, when you're not on the World Map or in a fight, press Select + L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 at the same time to travel to the Debug Room!

All translations in this page courtesy of GlitterBerri.

The Lobby

This is the first area of the Debug Room, and it primarily acts as a means to access the other rooms. There is, however, one NPC here.

Man In Red

This cheery fellow acts as your main menu for debuggery. Think Yuffie, but without the pyramids.

Quit (Self-explanatory.)
To main (A quick warp to many events in the game. See warps below.)
Cut out battle (Disables world map music, strangely enough.)
Cut out movie (Nothing?)
Save menu (Lets you save your game in the debug menu, on the disc of your choice.)
PHS menu (Lets you form your party from a choice of Squall and the seven other party members, including Seifer and Edea.)
Fly to world (Get dumped back onto the World Map, in front of Balamb Garden.)
Turn off music (Does exactly what it says. To turn it back on, re-enter the Debug Room.)
Clear global (Presumably meant to reset flags? Seems to do nothing, though.)
Lots of one hits (Seems to do nothing. The translation is correct; the original Japanese is equally as confusing.)
(Blank option) (Nothing.)

Yabuta Page

Will crash in the NTSC-J version! There is nothing in here. That isn't meant figuratively, there is literally nothing in here. Squall can wander around the background a bunch, but he's not going to find anything.

Tatsuya Yabuta was one of the map planners and an FMV contractor co-ordinator, by the way.

Tange Page

Upon entering this room, you'll be told that if you want to go to Esthar, you should use the PHS of the soldier in the middle, then talk to the person on the bottom-right.

Kyoko Tange was one of the event planners, if you were wondering.

Zell

This guy deals with the Esthar Laboratory events. Apart from the first one, these options require you to be playing on Disc 3.

Research facility full? 10-21 (Opens the PMS system for some reason.)

For event on the tracks (Cutscene, on the FH tracks carrying Rinoa to Esthar; the screen after the above.)
Esthar station (Cutscene at Esthar station; the screen after the above.)

Lunatic Pandora Lab Moor (The Lunatic Pandora Lab with Laguna and chums. The active party is cleared, so there'll be a game over when you progress to the unavoidable battle.)
Eshtar Magic Lab (Outside the Odine's Lab building.)

Sato Page

The jaunty Chocobo-riding music plays upon entering. The page mostly contains portals to various incarnations of Balamb Town and the two gardens. Some NPCs have an extra menu, accessed by trying to play cards with them. Most of the NPCs here reference fashion brands.

This was probably by Yaeko Sato, an event planner.

Irvine

Has two different menus; try to play cards with him for the other one. "Tocca" and "Ozoc" are fashion brands. "Hellmoot Lang" is actually Helmut Lang, another fashion brand. All these options go to the same menu, on which the options do nothing visible with the exception of the 'Sugino! Where is Sugino?' option, which will cause the Galbadian Soldier to start saluting.

Selphie

Agost Shop! Is actually referencing Agosto Shop, a fashion brand.

Balamb (Entrance to Balamb Town, occupied by Galbadia. Disc 2 only.)
After Balamb occupation, money (Doesn't give money—instead, it plays various music cues.
- Chocobo (Chocobo Forest theme.)
- Battle 2 (Boss battle theme.)
- Trabia field (World map music.)
- Voice de Chocobo (Chocobo theme; this is the music the room plays when you first enter it.)
- ..." (Exit menu.)
Basic (Entrance to Balamb Town, after the occupation. Not Disc 4.)
Housewife talk, 2nd time (Nothing visible happens.)
Housewife talk, 3rd time (Main street in Balamb Town. You must be in SeeD uniform to be able to get back into Balamb Garden or appear on the world map.)
... (Same as above.)
(Unseen option) (Exit menu.)

Cat

This funky feline spouts a bunch of card game rule-spreading dialog, then lines from the Balamb Town mechanic, before finally giving you access to its menu. This does not happen on the Japanese version, however, where instead it goes straight to the menu.

Mr Iriguchi? (Balamb Station.)
Mr Nojima? (Balamb Town Hotel Room, Disc 4 only! There's nobody on screen, so you can't move.)
Mr Minekawa? (Plays random noises.)
Mr Minekawa 2? (Plays different random noises.)

Quistis

Also has an extra menu you can access if you try to play cards with her.

'Talk' menu: Manipulates the party and their dress sense. "J.P.G" is referring to Jean-Paul Gaultier, a fashion designer.

- All cards (Gives you all cards.)
- Summon Beast (Gives you all GFs.)
- ... (Exit menu.)
'Card' menu: "Beauty:Beast" is a Japanese fashion brand.
- All the options here seem to have no discernible effect.

Rinoa

This NPC is named 'Mikami Reiko', after the main character of the manga/anime series Ghost Sweeper Mikami. Also has an extra menu.

'Talk' menu: This one is obsessed with Balamb Garden's library. All but one of the 'Love love Hallway' options result in the same three choices. Given the submenu names, they would seem to relate to the various steps of Zell's love quest with the ponytailed girl from the library, but that's just an educated guess.
Note that for the Ellone 2 option, Rinoa will be added to your party.
- To Wilderness (After returning from space with Ragnarok, disc 3.
- Commander and Captain (All suboptions go to the Balamb Garden library.)
- Library 7 love love test (Also goes to the library.)
- To Winhill (Outside the inn, discs 2 and 3.)

    - Balamb station (The train station.)
    - In front of Balamb Hotel (Outside the hotel.)

    - Road 7 (In the library hallway.)
    - Hall 3 (On the library path in the main Garden Hall.)
    - Book 2 (In the back of the library, with the Esuna draw point.)
    - (Unseen option) (Exit menu.)
- ..." (Exit menu.)
'Card' menu: Gives you two options which presumably deal with locking a character in the party, but this hasn't been verified.

Zell

Also has an extra menu!

'Talk' menu: More places and times in Balamb. "A/T" is referring to Atsuro Tayama, a fashion designer.
- X0 (During car event.)
  - 1-4 (Various stages of driving to the harbor and boarding the boat for the Dollet mission.)
  - 5 (Disembarking the boat after Dollet.)
  - 6 (After Seifer drives off in the car. Squall starts in the bottom left corner; if you finish all the dialog before he walks into position, you'll be stuck.)
- X1 On platform to Timber (Balamb station. If you board the train on a disc other than the first, the game will crash as the train enters the tunnel.)
- X2 To Zell's room after the event (In Zell's room, discs 2 and 3.)
- X3 Zell's room (As above.)

'Card' menu: "Intension chisato" is actually a mistranslation of Tsumori Chisato, another fashion designer.

- X2 Raine 1F ghost (Downstairs in the Winhill pub.)
- X3 M room, elevator (Balamb garden lift 1F, before the Norg fight. You get to nominally select a party, but it has no effect except for the Rinoa selection.)

- X10 Right after defeating Raijin (After beating Raijin outside the Balamb hotel, during the occupation. Squall and Zell must be in the active party; Disc 2 only.)
- ..." (Exit menu.)

Hishinuma Page

If you enter this room in the English versions, you get treated to the Ifrit Cave/Dollet mission results screen... in German! Weird.

English Version	Japanese Version

However, if you enter this room in the Japanese version you get a much more helpful message, telling you what every NPC does.

Moriya Page

"Welcome Moriya's room. I'm poor worker." There's only two NPCs here, and a funny glitch. The background is also different from the other rooms and is quite funky-looking. The demo version of the Dollet invasion theme is playing in the background. Will crash in the NTSC-J version!

Apparently Event Script Programmer Shun Moriya is a poor worker.

Girl running around

Gives you the Junction Exchange tutorial. However, there's a glitch with it. If you try to use the music player after watching the tutorial, the music will now sound off-key!

The other girl

Gives several options relating to music, FMVs, etc., while a subplot involving a lunch date for beef bowls unfolds...

"Can you correct my English?" (An earnest request that seems to have been ignored.)

1.Music - Music player. However, there's a catch- refer to the above NPC.
2.Sound Streaming - Will play Eyes on Me, provided you have Disk 3 inserted, otherwise it will just hang. It may play the chanting at the start of The Extreme on Disc 4, however, will need to test this
3.Video Streaming - Allows you to play each FMV in the game (each FMV is a number), however there are more options than FMVs, so some options will hang the game. Also be sure to have the correct disk inserted!
4.Battle - Battle against a single Galbadian Soldier while The Extreme is playing in the background.
5.DISC Change - Brings up the disk change menu for the next CD, so if you have CD1 inserted it will ask you for CD2, and so on.

2 - D-District prison cell being moved
3 - Revealing Esthar
4 - Seifer offering Rinoa to Adel

After the FMV has finished, press Square to bring up a menu containing garbled text in the English versions, because the Japanese font is gone. Translations from the JP version are used here instead:

Return to TEST8 - takes you to another debug room
Leave it be - replays the FMV

The second room also has a menu with garbled text, translations are used here instead:

A1 Movie A1
A1 Movie A2 - I have no idea on what these are supposed to do, as they end up playing the Balamb Garden FMV on Disk 1 regardless of what I do.
Quit - quits the menu. You can get back to the menu by talking to Rinoa
