[bullet]There were complaints about an error me age popping up after the players installed FF8. On the patch there is a new EAX file.

[bullet]There was a menu bug in which Square QA found while testing the patch. When the player receives the "Pet Pals Vol. 1," on the train to Timber, at this point the player has not yet met Rinoa nor her dog Angelo. In the magazine there is a reference to "Angelo Strike." The bug was due to the fact that the player had not met Rinoa yet and so instead of the magazine reading "Angelo Strike" it read "No MEM CA." --Addre ed and fixed.
