Well I only really found them after I got stuck in the final dungeon and went back to see what I missed. I don't think you're supposed to do all secrets on Disc 3 already.

They kept them on Disc 4 as to not punish completionist players that wouldn't have any idea that all of the towns would end up inaccessible.

#1: Remove the opening video with the feathers and the flower petals.

#2: Replace all the 3D graphics with 2-color sprites. Reduce the screen resolution to 320 x 200 pixels.

#3: Make Squall a bunny. I can't remember any of the other characters' names (I only played for two hours, barely managing to find the first dungeon and run away from a T-Rex), but make one a raccoon, another a skunk, another a fox, and so on.

#4: Actually give some indication of where the first dungeon is.

#5: ????

#6: Profit!

Don't include a plot twist where the characters suddenly realize:
"Hey,-we're-all-childhood-friends-that-grew-up-together-but-forgot-because-of-magic!"
Also, don't suddenly throw in an ultimate-time-witch of all time 4/5 the way through the game.
Oh, and give the player a clue about how the story ends. You know, let them understand the consequences of their actions.

Man I hated that game. I liked the dancing cut scene, and that's about it.

Just think for a moment - is it really possible to defeat the most powerful sorcerer of all time and still take the definition seriously?

Bring me the FF6 opera!
That was awesome.

@Squallisdead
Wow, that guy just took a bad story line and made it make some sense.

However, I can't imagine he's right. You would think that someone somewhere would echo his conclusions.
Rather, I think it just goes to show how easy it is to take the FF8 story and turn it into something better, BECAUSE IT IS SO BAD!

Here's a fun game - take a plot of a game, book or movie that you don't like, and re-interpret it into something better.
My turn. Battlestar Galactica: after Star Buck's ship blows up, the rest of the series makes no sense because she's actually dead, and it's all a delusion of her dying mind! Perfect!
Alternatively, one might simply note that while the Cylons allegedly "had a plan", the script writers did not.
