Guardian Force Items is a set of items that are used to maintain
GFs. In Final Fantasy VIII, GFs have its own HP and status.
They gain experience and use the ability points to learn abilities.
GFs can have a maximum of 22 abilities. Upon recruitment,
a GF starts off with a couple of abilities locked. This can
be "unlocked" by mastering some of abilities known
as "perquisites". GF Items can divided into 2 key
main sections - GF Recovery and GF Ability.
Generally, these items are used to restore lost Hit points.
There are two items that requires you to take some notice.
The items allow you to rename your GFs with the Rename Card
and Angelo with Pet's Nametag. Most of these items can be
obtained via Carbuncle GF Recov Med-RF, Card Mod-RF and buying
from Pet Shops. There are two Pet Shops in the game - Timber
Pet Shop and Esthar Pet Shop
Pay extra care when using Amnesia Greens on GFs. Amnesia Greens
allows GF to forget an ability thus allow you to replace the
additional slot with another ability by using another GF Ability
Item. Remember once a GF forget the the ability, the ability
will be lost and you will lose additional abilities if the
lost ability is a perquisite ability. It is highly recommended
that you start modifying GFs with Amnesia Greens only after
all 16 GFs has acquired all their original set of 22 abilities.
Other than provide GFs with additional abilities, these items
are also use in refinement and weapon upgrading. Abilities
can also be defined to 6 catergories - command, character,
junction, GF, party and menu. There are no extra items that
allow your GFs to learn menu abilities. These items can be
only used on a GF, provided there is a free slot under the
GF's ability list. If you do not have, use an Amnesia Green
to forsake the previous one. Please note that you cannot have
replicas abilities. It is not possible to have a GF with 2
Card command abilities.
