Original Title:ウォールセイム

Languages:

  • Chinese: 壁垒相同
  • Japanese: ウォールセイム
  • English: Same Wall
In Final Fantasy VIII, "Wall" typically refers to a magic or skill that provides protection to characters in battle. While not a novel concept in the series, it manifests in a unique way in Final Fantasy VIII. Usually, "Wall" grants the "Protect" and "Shell" status effects, the former reducing physical damage and the latter reducing magical damage. In Final Fantasy VIII, Selphie's Limit Break can use "Wall" via "Slot", providing the entire party with Protect and Shell. Unlike other entries in the series, Final Fantasy VIII does not have a traditional MP system; instead, magic is collected by "Drawing" from enemies or points in the environment, and these spells are "Junctioned" to characters to enhance their stats. Hence, the acquisition and use of "Wall" are also different. In addition, Guardian Forces (GFs) in Final Fantasy VIII possess various skills, with some GFs providing additional defensive capabilities. Overall, "Wall" in Final Fantasy VIII is a versatile defensive tool that can be obtained and used in different ways, making it more flexible and diverse compared to similar abilities in other games.
