Information about FFVIII sound effects

To keep sound names simple, more information about some of them is written here.

Enemies have a lot of unnamed attacks; for those, I've used the names in finalfantasy.fandom.com. In any case, the name of the enemy is specified before the skill to avoid any confusion.

Different game versions (reverb effect and pitch changes)

The PSX version of FFVIII changes the pitch of sound effects in real time and it adds a reverb effect which makes all the sounds way more pleasurable to listen to, while the PC versions don't do any of these things. For example, on PSX Angelo barks in a higher pitch, Doomtrain's level crossing bell has a raised pitch, Elvoret's death sound effect has a lowered pitch.

Female characters sometimes use:

53 female characters footstep1
54 female characters footstep2

Only in Dollet's shore:

2167 footsteps sand 1
2168 footsteps sand 2

Edea as an enemy uses the party's magic cast sound effect, not the enemies' one.

Drawing magic

Griever uses the same layered sound effects than the party's for drawing magic, i.e. 115+116+117

Ultimecia's "Draw Apocalypse" uses the "Drain" sound effect (793).

Party's attacks

Sequences and number of hits:

  • 4 attack squall 1: swing
  • 151 attack zell: x2
  • 155 attack rinoa 1: throw
  • 156 attack rinoa 2: hit
  • 158 attack squall 2: slash
  • 160 attack quistis 1: swing x2
  • 161 attack quistis 2: hit
  • 165 attack selphie 1: swing
  • 166 attack selphie 2: hit
  • 168 attack irvine: x1
  • 169 attack kiros: x2
  • 170 attack ward 1: throw
  • 171 attack ward 2: hit
  • 164 attack seifer: x1
  • 174 attack laguna: x3
  • 176 attack edea: x1

Gunblade trigger:

  • 159 squall's gunblade shot: also used during renzokuken, when the trigger is pressed in time.

Squall, Quistis and Ward also use their attack sounds at the start of the battle, with their animation to "get ready" to fight.

  • 4 attack squall 1: swinging the Gunblade
  • 160 attack quistis 1: swinging the whip
  • 161 attack quistis 2: "hitting the air"
  • 171 attack ward 2: hitting the ground with its arpion

Critical hits

Critical hit sounds are played on top of the normal attack sounds. Irvine and Edea can't do critical hits for some reason.

All critical hit sounds are played only once. If the character has multiple hits (e.g. Laguna, who shoots three times), the critical sound effect is layered on top of the last hit.

Misses

Both for the party and for the enemies, when a physical attack misses, this sound is played:

31 attack miss

However, this doesn't apply for long-range physical attacks, meaning that you are still going to hear the normal sound (e.g. Rinoa, Irvine, Edea, Laguna).

Moreover, some strong monsters like dragons or bosses like the Weapons, are playing their physical attack sound even when it misses.

  • 1792 elnoyle's swipe: x2.

Enemy calls

What I've labeled "enemy calls" are all the intro calls that monsters make when starting a battle. These also include sound effects for human bosses, even though they are not "calls".

Some monster calls are also played during the battle, for example right before the monster is about to perform a particular attack, or when performing some special skill. Below there's a list of all these particular cases.

All intro calls are technically played but only the last monster's call is heard. The order depends on the game version. So, for example, in the Granaldo boss fight, on PC you only hear the Raldo call, while in the PSX version you only hear Granaldo's call.

  • 183 elvoret: before Storm Breath
  • 190 x-atm092 stomps leg:
    • x2 before Leg Strike, then x1
    • x4 before Ray-Bomb
    • x1 before Arm Crush, then x1
  • 193 snow lion: before Ice Breath
  • 201 hexadragon: before Melt-Eye
  • 203 fastitocalon: before Sand Storm
  • 213 belhelmel: Belhelmel's mode change "Belhelmel is furious!" and "Belhelmel laughed!"
  • 221 wendigo: before Dribble, and before Shoot
  • 225 armadodo: before Swipe
  • 229 sam08g: special skill Store
  • 235 abyss worm: special skill Lift head
  • 241 ruby dragon: before Claw
  • 259 oilboyle:
    • Intro call (in the boss fight, played x2)
    • Before Oil Shot and before Oil Blast
  • 261 iguion: before Resonance
  • 263 forbidden: special skill Change stance
  • 278 cactuar: special skill Escaped...
  • 282 tonberry: special skill Walk
  • 290 adamantoise: before Sand Storm
  • 294 bgh251f2: the intro call applies to both encounters
  • 310 torama:
    • Special skill Stand up
    • Before Blaster
  • 314 imp: special skill Fly
  • 320 abadon: special skill Stand up
  • 336 sacred: its intro call applies to both encounters
  • 337 elnoyle: before Storm Breath
  • 343 diablos: before Claw
  • 348 sorceress A: when a new sorceress appears, layered with 1825 another sorceress appears
  • 350 sorceress B: when a new sorceress appears, layered with 1825 another sorceress appears
  • 352 ultima weapon: before Gravija
  • 355 granaldo prepares to grab raldo: this call is slightly different from its intro call
  • 356 gayla prepares to attack: this call is slightly different from its intro call; played before Head Bash and before Tail Whip
  • Edea (first encounter)'s intro "call": 1783, i.e. the same sound effect of her physical attack Astral Punch

Enemies deaths

When enemies die, these sounds are played at the same time:

13 enemy death base layer1
14 enemy death base layer2

These create the default enemy death sound. Enemy-specific death sounds are all layered on top of these, except bosses, where only their specific sound will play (they generally last longer and are more dramatic). If no enemy-specific sound exists, only the default ones will play (e.g. Galbadian soldiers). Some human bosses don't have a death sfx because they don't actually die (e.g. Fujin and Raijin, Edea).

  • 202 hexadragon: the sound is repeated three times in the audio file for some reason, but the game only plays the first sound.
  • 281 jumbo cactuar: it's also the sound of its "skill" Escape; however, when defeated, it plays on top of the usual 13+14.

Multiple targets skills: "Once" or "for each"

For skills or items that target all enemies/party (and only for those where it's not obvious by listening to the sound), this list specifies if the sound effect is played once for each target (with a slight delay), or if it is played just once.

  • 710 spells → percent + catastrophe: once
  • 870 commands → mad rush: once
  • 880 items in battle → mega-potion: for each
  • 892 items in battle → elixir + megalixir: for each

  • 1079 spells → rapture (Selphie's): for each
  • 1112 blue magic → mighty guard: for each
  • 1217 blue magic → lv death part2 (LV?Death part 2): for each
  • 1801 enemy skills → iron giant's and behemoth's mighty guard: once
  • Adamantoise's Sand Storm (part 2): 561 battle misc → common hit ground A: for each
