Opinion on Final Fantasy VIII?

[Turtle]

It’s my favorite.

I love the summons in that game.

FF VIII is better than unmelanated Final Fantasy XVI

Nah they’re both good they’re 20 years apart not a fair comparison

My first FF, played this and Legend of Dragoon at the same time. My young brain was damn near fried.

Such an underrated RPG.

It’s trash and will always be trash

mid. all I know is it was the first real JRPG that I watched someone play. My babysitter pawg named Gabbie.. I used to play with her booty while she grinded through the sewers level. The game itself is forgettable and stretched out. & fukk Squall. It’s dying for a remake tbh.

goated first half. shyt fell off the rails after that.

loved the OST, Balamb Garden theme is piff

 

[Mr. Negative]

got hooked on Triple Triad. Don't remember any of the rest of the game at all.

 

[Mr. Negative]

double

 

[StarClout]

Super underrated

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

One of my favorite games of all time, not just FF.

Gets better with replays when you know what's going on, they tried balancing out how much we know compared to the main characters - which leaves us confused for most of, if not all, of the game - which might have been a miscalculation.

I love it though, the lore is so fukking good.

A mess but was fun, over hated

The story started off alright
Idea of the military school was cool, but really went off the rails after the assassination attempt:
The Laguna flashbacks…
Ending up in space…
Time traveling…
The orphanage fukkery/connections…



Also wasn’t the biggest fan of the junction system
Get some good magic to augment your stats but then don’t want to use said magic because your stats will go down until you draw some more (or convert items towards the end)

I love the way magic and GFs were handled in the lore (orphanage stuff), it seems hamfisted at first but it's really not about that. It's about the fact that there's a severe consequence to using this incredible power. So much so that core memories get sapped. One of the first times in FF where your own powers are shown to have serious drawbacks.

True that was cool. Speaking of GFs, I liked how they let you boost their attacks and shorten their animations

Limit breaks were interactive and different for each character
Squall’s blade attacks, Zell’s Legend of Legaia input based one

And Triple Triad


Again, I think the game gets more hate than it deserves

My favorite Limit Breaks come from FF8 and the summons were the best in the series IMO until probably FF XV. I like them even better X (besides Bahamut)
