Final Fantasy VIII weapons

The weapon equipment list in Final Fantasy VIII is the smallest of its kind in the Final Fantasy series, including the weapons used by temporary characters. The game has 33 usable weapons. Each of the 11 playable characters has their own base weapon, and the main six playable characters can access the better weapons by upgrading their base one.
Specific items are needed to upgrade the weapons at junk shops, and the Weapons Monthly magazines scattered around the world inform about the required items, although it is not necessary to read them to get the better weapons; it is enough to only own the required parts. However, stats are mainly gained via the junction system, and thus weapon upgrading is not a particularly good way to become stronger, especially when most upgrades only give a negligible boost to Strength. The weapons most useful for upgrading are Squall's gunblades because they unlock new finishers to his Limit Break, and Selphie's ultimate weapon that has an innate 255% hit rate.
Upgrading a weapon in the Steam version earns the player the achievement Handyman.

==Gunblades==
Difficult to handle and requiring a lot of skill. These weapons belong to Squall and Seifer. Gunblades have a 255% hit rate. Pressing the trigger button on-hit boosts damage for both Squall and Seifer; gunblades do not naturally deal critical hits. Squall's gunblades unlock new finishers to his Renzokuken Limit Break, and thus it is good to prioritize his upgrades out of the party.

===Seifer's gunblade===
Seifer uses his gunblade differently from Squall, in a backhand slash rather than a forward one, although this may just be his fighting style and not due to the weapon's design mechanic. He also uses it with one hand rather than two. Due to a lack of mention in any source material involving gunblades, it is unknown whether this is an actual model type or a custom-designed model for Seifer's personal use.

==Other media==
===Dead Fantasy===
Rinoa's fan-made weapons were created by the late Monty Oum based on the weapons seen in Final Fantasy VIII. The Vanishing Star gunblade is her primary weapon with the words "All Existence Has Denied" engraved on its blade. Silenced Tear is her secondary weapon. This blaster edge automatically forms into a disc-like blade she can launch with her wrist-mount launcher. She uses it for ranged attacks and has junctioned Holy and Tornado within her weapon.
==Behind the scenes==
The weapon Selphie wields is called "nunchaku" in the NTSC versions and "shinobou" in the English PAL version. This is because nunchakus are considered illegal weapons in the UK. For example, the use of nunchakus was, in the 1990s, censored from UK rebroadcasts of American children's TV, shows such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons, and films. In Final Fantasy VIII, Selphie's weapon model remains the same, but the name of the weapon has been changed to "shinobou" in the SeeD written test the player can take in the menu. In most media, the weapon is now called "nunchucks". 
Rinoa's Blaster Edge might have been inspired by similar weapons found in Rudra no Hihō on the Super Famicom, a game that was released by Square in 1996. The weapons are mounted on the arm and launch a crescent-shaped scythe at the enemy.
==Merchandise==
Final Fantasy Master Arms include miniaturized replicas of both Squall's Revolver and Seifer's Hyperion.
The Lion Heart model is included in the Play Arts Arms set along with four other ultimate weapons.
Being Squall's primary and iconic weapon, a scaled replica of the Revolver gunblade has been featured with every Squall figurine regardless of what media or game the figure is portraying.
