Game Description:
Final Fantasy VIII (ファイナルファンタジーVIII, Fainaru Fantajī Eito) is a role-playing video game released for the PlayStation in 1999 and for Windows-based personal computers in 2000. It was developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) as the Final Fantasy series' eighth title, removing magic point-based spell-casting and the first title to consistently use realistically proportioned characters.

Personal Notes:
Never huge fan of this game, but I wanted to give it another chance.

Plot:
The game's story focuses on a group of young mercenaries who are drawn into an international conflict, and seek to protect the world from a sorceress manipulating the war for her own purposes. The main protagonist is Squall Leonhart, a 17-year-old reclusive loner and student at the military academy Balamb Garden, who is training to become a "SeeD", a mercenary paid by the academy.

This Space for rent. I will upload the the graphic overhaul version or Lion version request only.
Hello! I've a problem and I hope that you can help me with it!

I'm trying to use an Italian version of FF8 but your PATCH of FF8.exe doesn't recognize the Data folder, can you explain how can i mod the ff8.exe italians file as your ff8.exe english file?
Or may I send you my FF8.exe file?
This game was ripped by the original version of Final Fantasy 8 for PC.
I've a new MacbookAir with Lion 10.7.3

With the english DATA folder it works well, just some graphic problems
Thanks!
This port does not work with Lion.

I can put a lion one up as I said I would on request only.

I can try to put one up in the next few days.

Toss me your exe file and I will see if it works.

Do you your cds or mountable images - if so the modified exe would likely not matter?
Hey waves, you working on a Lion version of the game.
Only if you want me too.
That would be great, waves.  I really want to playthrough this one.
It will take a few days but I will get to it.
thanks waves
Hello there,

Could I please have the wrapper for Lion?
I tired to download the wrapper and it sent me a site in which I had no idea how to download the file?

Many thanks,

Adam
That is Linksave - please browse the website to see how to download from linksave,

Added Wineskin full backup - this day - Lion ready.
Removed linksave from wrapper - on request of lexilated.

Cheers.
Thanks waves!
´ve read that someone asked for a wrapper for lion, are you still trying to create it or you´ve send it in Private message.
if you had could you please share the download link, thanks
It seems that this doesn't work for me. I downloaded the .000 and .001 files, tried to unrar them, and I keep getting a "cannot unrar" error. Using an app to combine the two files produced the DMG file, but mounting said DMG resulted in an Illegal Seek error.
@ Christopher - Links fixed - also @Andre this is reported working with Lion - and the Wineskin one links are also provided.
