I'm wondering because I mash the square button, and when it gets to 90+ it stops, then drops back down.. am I suppose to bring it up to the number before it drops?
The higher 'boost' is, the more power the GF has and the more damage it does.
It can appear more than once on some summons, so don't relax after it disappears.
Boost, number five on the list of things I don't like about FF8. 
If you leave Boost alone, your GF will do it's basic damage, but, if you start hitting square even once, then the number you see is the percentage of the basic damage. So if you get around 90, then you will be doing less damage then if you left it alone. But if you did 140, then you would do 40% more damage, but your arm will start hurting from mashing the button so much so fast
It's kinda like that.

Besides, after I got STR junction, I stopped using GF's all together and focused on Squall on being the unkillable death weapon
That's the one thing that puzzled me about FF games.
The main character inevitably became a one-man army capable of killing in the game with little or no outside help.
What I'd like to see is an FF game where you make a party like that, then you go beat the final boss, and after the main character shrugs him off and you think you've won the game and you're getting ready to have a self congradulatory beer, the main character goes power mad, kills off his group, and becomes the final boss of the REST of the game!
Then you assemble a NEW party with a NEW main character... [ 08-27-2002: Message edited by: Maradön² ]
Go outside, fight along the beach shore. Kill the fish-in-sand thingamabobbers. If possible, junction thunder to your weapon to make the fights go faster. Make sure you get Shiva (Or was it Siren? I forget) her W-Mag-ref ability. Take all the fish fins you get from killing the fish, and turn 'em into water magic, as this early in the game, it junctions very well and is quite powerful.
Once you've gotten Squall's MAG up as far as possible, use the lamp Cid gives you and take on Diablos. Draw as much stuff from him with squall, as you can. Once you kill him, work him up until you have mug. Then play. Mug = invaluable, especially when you start upgrading weapons.
Oh, and Boost is good if you have a turbo controller. Otherwise it isn't worth it.

That was in the bad FF games.

That's during the last portion.

FF8 was the only one like that. Every other one other than Tactics (GO CID!!) had to be used as a group.
There might be an occasion where having one character makes the whole group a shit load better, but it's not for alot of battles.
It's kind of like WC3. If you have a hero in the group, your group is ALOT more powerful then if you just send in normal units.

I mean what screen? After the little shortcut Selphie takes? Or before/after the bridge?
One of the named guards on top of tower activates it when you begin to leave. Then it jumps you.

Save beforehand and learn the patterns. You'll thank yourself later. 
Edit: Btw, the portion where he stomps and shakes the ground, stunning you, is the part where you have to walk in order for him to not stun you..

It is one of the only two places where you MUST fight it, and where it wont run away... or something. Save and reset a lot.
The seed points don't really matter, though. The tests are so pathetically easy, I laugh at anyone who fails 'em. Besides, Gil is nigh worthless in FF8 anyways. Anything I need, I either refine, mug, or kill to get.
On the third disc, go back to Dollet and find the path that leads to the Communications Tower. There's a guard in the way, but you can bribe him by talking to him.
Make your way up the path. At one point, you'll be interrupted by the funniest scripted scene in the game. Retribution, baby!
