Once you get to a certain point n ff8 the rule cant be changed or at i never figured out how to change it

You don't really need to play the card game past disc 1 if you don't want to b/c by then you should have Squall's ultimate weapon :P I played it all the time b/c I wanted to collect all of the cards even though there really isn't a point b/c not like I hardly ever card modded outside of needing stuff for weapon upgrades. I don't remember ever even giving any characters the ability to use items since I found them pretty useless in this game (as they are in most rpgs).

So, I went to the bridge to challenge her again, only to find out that my "One" rule magically had changed to "Direct" (which sucks mighty arse). I then hurried to Balamb to play with the guy down at the docks to reset it back to "One". I then went back to Balamb Garden to challenge some random NPC, but the "Direct" rule was still there!

Argh! I then soft reset to go back to before I even challenged Quistis, to go back to having my beloved "One" rule again, but oh me oh my.. that pesky "Direct" rule was there even though I had reset my game! I have no idea how, but it was there! ARRRRGH!
I then lost all patience and turned off my playstation.

Talk about irritating. I'll give it another go some other time.

I notice this happens sometimes as well. Keep rejecting the game until the One rule appears. I noticed it sometimes randomly changed the trade rule so if you try to reclaim a card (because of smurfing Direct ) occasionally the trade rule does change to One. I have no idea why the game mechanic works this way but it does it from time to time. Just be patient.

Oddly enough, Direct is probably my least favorite rule in Triple Triad cause at least Plus/Same can be exploited with the random rule. Direct sucks cause even if you win you can lose if the computer nabs your best cards.

Okay, I went back and tried again and this time the Direct rule stayed away and let me play with me beloved One rule, which was dandy.

Thanks for the help, peepz


EDIT: Also, yes.. I agree with Wolf Kanno that Direct is the rule that probably sucks the most.

[Kyros]

Diff is the best rule ever. I always got to keep 4+ of their cards after the game >:]

Jesus, does Caraway always take a loooong time to use his Rinoa card?


..also, Diff is pretty awesome. Yes.

This may sound obvious but I assume you lost your Ifirit card to him first?

Haha, okay.. I now realize how long it's been since I last acquired the Rinoa card xD So, you have to first lose the Ifrit card for him to use it? As I remembered it he'd use the Rinoa card, and once you'd won that one he'd be like "Gimme the Ifrit card!" afterwards.
