=== First file There are three LZSed files for each field: EXAMPLE.MIM, EXAMPLE.DAT and EXAMPLE.LZK (Extension names *.MIM, *.DAT and *.LZK found in PC version, field.fs > mapdata.fs > map1.bak) ===.

By myst6re = FF8DISCX.IMG File Format =
Almost all of the game files are hidden in the FF8DISCX.IMG (with X=disc number) file.
== Root Files ==
In the case of a Japanese iso, the file begins directly with a list of file location and size, with the following format:
{| borderclass="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" align="center" style="border: 1px solid black; border-collapse: collapse;wikitable"! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Offset! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Size! style="background:rgb(204,204,204)" | Data

In the case of a PAL iso, there are 5 unknown sectors (a sector = 2048 bytes in data, 2352 bytes in disk) before this list of files.

In the list of root files, the third file is in fact the "FIELD.BIN". This file is [[FF7/LZS_format|LZS]] compressed, and contains some informations, like the list of field files position and size.

=== Third file (*.LZK) ===
Almost like the [[FF8/FileFormat_ONE|chara.one]] file. The main difference is that the models data are compressed.
