Hey, if you manage to somehow decode the data informations, that could be the beginning of FF8 modding. I think this game would be interesting to mod since, if I recall correctly, the 3d engine supports some kind of skinning. So we won't have to cut all parts like in FF7, so it would look a lot better. Also the background are better I think and background filtering already have been added(by Ficedula I think).
Well I'm looking forward to see if you manage to decode it hehe.
