Hello quimm, first time poster. Thanks so much for the wonderful FF8 graphical mods!
I was directed here by a gamefaqs user but I'm not sure if this is an appropriate topic for your forums. If not, I'm sorry!
TLDR: Does anyone know how to score 100 on the Judgment portion of the SeeD exam on the PC version?
I was following the PS guides that recommend waiting on the Ifrit naming screen to let the clock run down for a perfect 100 score on Judgment for the SeeD exam. I started the caverns on a 10:00 timer, got to Ifrit at around 7 minutes and quickly killed him with 5 minutes to spare. I finished the battle and stopped at the Ifrit naming screen, finally proceeding after about 6 minutes (I used to the Windows clock to make sure).
I was surprised to find later that my judgment score on the SeeD exam was a ZERO.
I've been googling like a madman to figure out why this happened, and many people confirmed that this "bug" (waiting on the naming screen) doesn't work on the Steam version. That would be fine -- I could adjust my tactic to wait out the timer and perform the killing blow with a few seconds to spare. However, many people were ALSO getting 0s without the use of the exploit, i.e. waiting until the last seconds to finish the battle.
Furthermore, the 0 score doesn't make any sense. Per the guides out there, a score of 0 indicates that there remained more than 15 minutes left on the clock. I only started with 10!
Does anyone know how to reliably score a 100? For the record, I know the results of the test are practically worthless, however I am really interested in getting a perfect score.
Thanks!
