A: How do you lose in FF8? You've got a deck of powerful cards from Disc 1, all of which are the only copies of said cards in the world. Everyone else has 4 trash cards and one decent card you can swipe. It's like the inverse of FFXIV triple triad.

B: And on the rare occasion you lose to a regional rule... you just reload your save file from before you lost the card.

The drop rates from new NPCs is so horrendous, I'm not even sure if some of them have cards to drop. Thank goodness there are websites with that data, so I don't have to play the game to find out. Hmm.
