Final Fantasy VIII Triple Triad cards

FFVIII Card Menu — The collection of Triple Triad cards in the Card menu.

The following is the list of Triple Triad cards in Final Fantasy VIII. The cards in the player's inventory can be viewed in the Cards section of the menu. If the player had a card but lost/refined it, it will be grayed out. Filling the in-game card list has a gold star appear next to the Cards menu. Only one copy of the level 8, 9, and 10 cards can be held at once; they are considered "rare cards".

Once the player has held a rare card, highlighting it in the menu shows at the bottom of the screen where the card currently is. Rare cards in the player's possession have their location as "Squall". For lost rare cards the menu shows the name of the area where the person holding that card is. If the player modded the card, the menu says it was "Used".

The game usually ensures that rare cards lost to NPCs stay available to win back somehow; e.g. rare cards lost in Galbadia Garden enter into Martine's deck in Fishermans Horizon. However, losing a rare card to Chocoboy is risky as he will permanently leave after the chocobo forest quest is complete. If the Card Club sidequest has been completed before the point of no return, it is possible to win all level 8, 9, and 10 cards from the CC members on board Ragnarok.

In the Steam non-remastered version, obtaining all cards earns an achievement.
