About this converter
Final Fantasy VIII weapons list Strength from 11 to 30. Revolver and Pinwheel open at 11, Hyperion, Metal Knuckle, Chain Whip and Valiant at 12, Shear Trigger and Valkyrie at 14, Cutting Trigger and Rising Sun at 18, Flame Saber and Gauntlet at 20, Punishment at 24 and Lion Heart at 30. That makes one Lion Heart equal over two Revolvers plus 8. Squall holds gunblades, Rinoa holds blaster edges, Zell holds gloves, Quistis holds whips, Irvine holds shotguns. Magazines upgrade tiers in order. Every value here is the PS1 Strength from Wiki tables.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in Strength. Try 1 Lion Heart against Revolvers.
Hit Rate rides on top of Strength, so rows pin Strength only. Shooting Star 28 and Ehrgeiz 25 sit between Punishment and Lion Heart and stay out for space. Irvine Exeter 25 and Quistis Save the Queen 25 tie mid top and stay out.
