Game variables can be accessed using the PSHM family of script functions, and can be written to by using the POPM family of functions. Which one you use depends on the size of the variable. The variables are all stored in save files, with the save block starting at address 0xD10 on uncompressed PC saves. The parameter to access a variable in the game scripts is basically the offset from this point in the variable block. For example, getting main story progress (word 256, which is word 0x100 in hex) just gets the two bytes starting at address 0xD10 + 0x100 = 0xE10. The varmap is continuous in memory while the game is running as well. In the en-US version of the original and SE releases (and likely most other versions), the varblock begins at the address given for VARMAP_START below. You can use this Cheat Engine Table to track them as you play.

Items in grey are unused by field scripts (some of them may be used in battle scripts).

IDA verification (FF8_EN.exe). The variable block is the global VARMAP_START (typed as the packed struct SavemapVariables). The SCRIPT_PSHM_* / SCRIPT_POPM_* opcode handlers read/write *(&VARMAP_START + var_number), which confirms that the “Var Number” in this table is exactly the byte offset into the block — variable N lives at offset N. Rows annotated with a function name / address below have been verified against engine code; most of the remaining entries are used only by field or battle scripts and are not touched by the EXE, so they cannot be verified from the binary.

Multi-use variables are shown in one of two ways: variables reused for different things at different points in the game carry a numbered footnote (e.g. 341, 728); variables reused for the same role across different maps get one row per context (e.g. 1024).

Byte	89-103	unused in fields
Long	104	Seems related to SALARYDISPON/SALARYON/MUSICLOAD/PHSPOWER opcodes
Long	108	Music related. Used for battle music retention: a value of `-1` means “no field BGM to carry over”, which makes the engine stop music after the fight (checked by `Battle_KeepMusicAfterBattle`).
Long	112	unused in fields
Byte	116-147	Draw points in field
Byte	148-179	Draw points in worldmap
Byte	180-243	Unused in fields. This region holds engine-only display/timer state rather than script variables: on-screen timer visibility (182) and X/Y position (205/206), a battle-disable flag (207), a “can save here” flag (209), and a battle-music A/B toggle (~201/203, toggled by `Battle_KeepMusicAfterBattle`).
Byte	244-255	Not investigated. Note: the worldmap-variant descriptions historically listed here (as 244–247) actually belong to offsets 264–267 — see below. These 12 bytes are `unk5` in the struct and their purpose is unverified.
Word	256	Main Story quest progress. Both bytes are also copied into the worldmap state block (`+110`/`+111`) by `World_BuildObjectInstanceList` (renamed from `Wmset_SetupWorldmapVariant` in the community IDB), so the worldmap appearance can depend on story progress.

Byte	265	Worldmap variant state. Copied into the worldmap state block (`+103`) by `World_BuildObjectInstanceList`. Purpose not yet verified.
Byte	266	Worldmap variant index (previously guessed “World map version? 3=Esthar”). Bits 0-4 select the base tile-variant bitmask via a 5-case switch: `0→0x011D`, `1→0x010D`, `2→0x0101`, `3→0x0100`, `4→0x0180`. Each bit corresponds to one entry in the trigger-rect table (see address table below) that overrides grid segments (0-767) with alternate segments (768-834).
Byte	267	Disc 4 worldmap sub-variant. Bits 0-1 select among three Disc 4 bitmasks (`0x003E`, `0x023E`, `0x003F`). Only used when the Disc 4 code path is active (`dword_203FD60 != 0`).
Byte	268-271	Worldmap variant state bytes, copied into the worldmap state block (`+106`…`+109`) by `World_BuildObjectInstanceList`. Not yet individually investigated.

Notes

When the party splits in disc 2, each party member in the inactive party except Selphie has one of the eight bits changed for this variable. One member has a flag in the 4 most significant bits, and the other has a flag in the 4 least significant bits. It’s done this way so that when the characters appear, they animate towards different locations in the field, rather than stacking on top of each other.
This byte contains flags for which characters are in Squall’s party when the party splits in disc 2.
List of everything that 728 holds throughout the game:
1. SeeD field exam “Conduct” score (lose points when you do something wrong at Dollet).
2. Train job attempts (Timber)
3. Tomb of the Unknown King student ID.
4. Who you took to space in disc 3.
The field controlling restriction unlocking in Ultimecia’s Castle uses this to figure out where to jump the party after they’ve broken a seal. It’s unknown how SETPLACE actually sets this, it’s not always related to the field ID or the SETPLACE parameter. This variable is also set at Balamb Garden’s front gate manually.
List of everything that 341 holds throughout the game:
1. First flashback team
2. Selphie’s current action when escaping from Deling’s mansion (changes the dialogue)
3. FH Concert Crappiness
4. Something in B-Garden classroom during the paratrooper attack.
Vars 753–1023 — verified unused, usable as free persistent storage for mods. Confirmed on three independent axes: (a) referenced by no field script (all 882 *.jsm re-scanned for every PSHM/POPM/PSHSM opcode), (b) referenced by no EXE code (full binary scan for any instruction embedding an address in that range), and (c) zero in every real save (28 Steam .ff8 saves decoded). The region’s save-image offset is 464 + 3344 + var = 3808 + var, so vars 753–1023 occupy image bytes 4561–4831, which lie inside the save CRC span (bytes 80–5023); the game recomputes that CRC on every save, so values written here at runtime persist through a normal save/load with no extra hooking. Unlike the temporary variables at ≥1024, these bytes are never cleared on field entry. Runtime address of a given var = 0x1CFE9B8 + var (e.g. var 753 = 0x1CFECA9).

Field-script usage (JSM bytecode scan)

The table below is generated by scanning every field script in the game — all 882 *.jsm files under field/mapdata/. Field scripts read and write variables through nine bytecode opcodes; each instruction is a little-endian dword whose high byte is the opcode and whose low 24 bits are the operand. For these opcodes the operand is the byte offset (= variable number):

Opcode	Mnemonic	Access	Opcode	Mnemonic	Access
10	`PSHM_B`	read (u8)	11	`POPM_B`	write (u8)
12	`PSHM_W`	read (u16)	13	`POPM_W`	write (u16)
14	`PSHM_L`	read (u32)	15	`POPM_L`	write (u32)
16	`PSHSM_B`	read (s8)	17	`PSHSM_W`	read (s16)
18	`PSHSM_L`	read (s32)

(Opcode numbers verified from the interpreter dispatch table funcs_52A647 (see address table below); the JSM code array begins at file offset u16@6.) A variable that appears here is genuinely used by field scripts; one that is absent (e.g. everything in the 410–431, 461–473, 494–527, 540–591 “unused” gaps) is not touched by any field script, which is a strong independent confirmation of the “unused in fields” rows above.

The field-name prefix identifies the location, which usually reveals what a variable is for. Legend for the prefixes seen below:

bg=Balamb Garden · bc=Balamb Town · bd=Fire Cavern · bv=Balamb (boat/train) · cr=Centra Ruins (Odin) · cw=Chocobo Forest · dd=Deep Sea Research · do=Dollet · ea=Esthar Airstation · eb=Esthar streets · ec=Esthar City · ed=Edea’s House · em=Esthar Lab (Odine) · ep=Esthar Palace · es/et/eh/ew/el/ee=Esthar (misc) · fe/ff=Ultimecia Castle · fh=Fisherman’s Horizon · gf=Winhill · gg=Galbadia Garden · gl=Deling City · gm=Galbadia Missile Base · gn=Tomb of the Unknown King · gp=D-District Prison · lo=Intro/Logo · rg=Ragnarok · ss=Space station/Lunar · tg/ti=Timber · tm=Shumi Village · te=test/debug maps.

A few results worth calling out:

var 261 — heavily used (82 fields, all over the world map): a real, active general-purpose flag, previously “not investigated”.
vars 264–270 (worldmap-variant cluster) are written by field scripts too, confirming they are ordinary savemap variables and not engine scratch.
The location-coded blocks confirm many guesses: 387/400/404 are all Winhill (gf), 436/437 are the D-District Prison (gp), 358/359 Centra Ruins + space, 484/487/492/493 the Missile Base (gm), 485/486/491 the Tomb of the Unknown King (gn), 320–334/369–377 Ultimecia Castle (fe/ff), and 752 is Ragnarok (rg).
The scan also resolved several bytes previously marked “not investigated”/”Unknown”: 337 = Galbadia Garden water (gl), 448 = a BG 2F classroom panel (bg2f_22 only), 533–539 / 595–624 / 626–691 = large per-town/city local-flag clusters (Dollet/Timber/Esthar, FH/D-District, Balamb-city/BG-library/Esthar-city — the Esthar walkway gates 672/673 are the single busiest bytes in the whole block), and 726/729/732 are all read by bgrank1 (the SeeD-rank field), i.e. town-conduct inputs — 732 is written only by the Fire Cavern field bdifrit1.
Temporary/scratch variables (offsets 1024–1074 observed) are used everywhere, as expected.
Vars 753–1023 (271 bytes) are verified free for modding — see note ₆.

Who accesses the variable block

The block is shared savemap state. Besides the field scripts (*.jsm) scanned above, it is read/written by several other EXE modules — there is no separate scripting language for it apart from the field JSM. The consumers found in the binary (via the VAR_MAP_ADDRESS pointer) are:

Field script-command handlers — the SCRIPT_* engine functions behind field opcodes (e.g. SCRIPT_ADDGIL, SCRIPT_CARDGAME, SCRIPT_DRAWPOINT, SCRIPT_JOIN/SCRIPT_SPLIT, SCRIPT_JUNCTION, SCRIPT_SEALEDOFF, SCRIPT_ADDSEEDLEVEL) read/write vars on a script’s behalf.
Field per-frame update (sub_529FF0) and world-map per-frame update (sub_6519D0, via FFWorldDirector) — both tick Steps, SeeD pay, SeeD rank, walking HP-regen and Angelo points directly in the block.
World-map module — FFWorldInit, jumpFromFieldToWorldmap / jumpFromWorldmapToField, World_BuildObjectInstanceList, World_MusicChanger (worldmap variant, field↔worldmap transitions, music).
Battle module — reads a few entries (e.g. Battle_KeepMusicAfterBattle for music retention); battle results (kills, deaths, gil, battles-won) are written back to the block after combat.
Menu / save-data code and new-game init (newgame_startgame) — display values (gil, SeeD rank) and set the block’s starting state.

The monster battle AI and world-map encounter logic use their own separate variable spaces and do not address this block directly (apart from boss-fight HP mirror values such as vars 350–357 / 380 / 443, which the special-battle setup reads from here).

(Temporary/scratch variables at offsets 1024–1074 are also used across many fields; they are volatile per-map scratch and are omitted from this table.)

Struct (IDA `SavemapVariables`)

This is the layout applied to VARMAP_START in the FF8_EN.exe database. It is a packed struct (no padding), so every field’s offset equals its variable number in the table above. MapSeal, VarMiscFlag and SomeVarFlag are the game’s own enum types; unused*/unk*/notInvestigated* bytes are gaps.
