The series reuses a wealth of items, weapons, and armor throughout its duration. Here's a list of the crossovers! Note that I do not have the original names of the items from FF6 (like the Katana names, etc.) so I'm not sure which ones correspond to which; therefore, they have been left out until future research. Also, note that there is NO armor in FF8; however, some armor names are used in FF8 for items which teach GF abilities, and I will mention them. If there is more than one picture available, the picture links will be on the game number instead of the item name.
