Ff8 which instruments

To be clear, there's no major bonus for getting the band choices one way or another: there's no secret GF or cool buff item - the difference is simply that a conversation between Squall and Rinoa can play out a number of different ways depending on how you make the band choices.

You're choosing what instruments are played rather than who is playing them. The idea is that you're meant to figure out which instruments belong together by ear, but that's not so easy for everyone.

It doesn't matter who plays which instrument.

During the segment where Irvine has the party choose their instruments, the player can leave the screen and partake in a sidequest as Irvine.

There are three versions of the "date night" between Squall and Rinoa depending on which instruments the player chose. If the band plays "Eyes on Me" Rinoa doesn't think the band is the best and argues with Squall. If the player mixes scores from the two pieces, with two instruments each, Rinoa will complain that the music is awful. If the scores are mixed with three from one piece and one from the other, Rinoa will find it hard to understand.
