Magazines
This time around Squaresoft decided to put in a new way of getting weapons rather than the old just walk into a weapon shop and buying one.  This goes for some limit breaks and some secrets.  This new way of doing stuff is called reading magazines.  Yes thats right you find magazines of the ground and you read them from your inventory.  This works for all of them but one, Timber maniacs which ill show you how to read in the Timber Mainacs section of this page.  Basically there are 5 different magazines in the FF8 world, and each of them is used to learn different things.  Click on the links and find out what they are.
