Final Fantasy VIII
GF Abilities
This covers the old GF Abilities reference. The optional acquisition notes now live on theOptional GFs page, and the refine charts have their own Refine Reference.
GF Ability Reference
This list contains all GF you can get in the game, along with their abilities. Under the "Initial" column, you'll find three options: Known, Unlearned or Contingent. Known indicates the skill comes with the GF. No assembly required, :) Unlearned indicates that the skill is availible from the start, but you must allocate AP to activate it. "Contingent" indicates that the skill is not available until you learn another skill first. Consult the "Allows" column to find out which skill is required.
Each GF can only remember 22 abilities, because apparently even immortal magical brain parasites need closet space. If you want to teach a GF something new after it fills up, use Amnesia Greens from the item menu to make it forget an ability you no longer need. Good candidates are lower-tier abilities after their better versions are already learned, like forgetting Elem-Def-J after Elem-Defx2-J is learned, or dropping GFHP+10% after the GF has GFHP+20% and GFHP+30%. Do not erase prerequisite abilities before the dependent ability is learned, or you may strand yourself out of the upgrade chain.
