The tone and writing of this game are very weird. It feels like the characters don't take most things that are happening as seriously as they should.
why the fuck has there been a FF8 bashing thread every single day on /v/ for like the last week? is it autism or a malfunctioning LLM?
>>748652989I've been trying to tell you guys. I think a good 90% of *ALL* Final Fantasy threads are made by the same one guy. If you'll notice, they usually all appear around the same time as each other as well. Like there wont be ANY FF threads in the catalogue, then you come back an hour later and there are 5.
>>748652885I dropped this at the end of the first disc fairly recently, but I don't see why you have an issue with this>youths being made to train as super soldiers and grow up quickly don't take the serious issues they're being used as tools to resolve as seriously as they shouldYeah no shit. I would say that makes it almost charming enough to continue playing, but I'm in fear of the story taking the nose dive everyone says it does and fell out of playing it.I still think about the scene where Fujin and Raijin tell Squall that Seifer being executed is nonsense and that he "wouldn't go along with it" right after Squall's party has a defeatist shitfit about it. Made me wish Squall hung out with Fujin and Raijin instead. The idea of Seifer's friends just knowing he's strong enough to not go along with the law is so hilarious and entertaining and is definitely a product of the writing OP is trying to criticize.

>>748652885>It feels like the characters don't take most things that are happening as seriously as they should.Squall is an insecure mess who cant connect with people and internalizes all his problems. I think a lot the other characters are more relaxed because they trust Squall as their leader who knows what he's doing when he really doesnt'
>>748653070based FF autist keeping the dream aliveanyway this game is weird and fucked up but I don't care that's why I like it
>>748653697>based FF autist keeping the dream aliveNot really. I think he's from Reddit and he's trying to amass "Karma" points that don't even exist here. Unless there's some extension somewhere that adds points to 4chan.
>>748654414>Unless there's some extension somewhere that adds points to 4chan.You will live to see manmade horrors beyond your comprehension
I'm a hardcore fan with FF8, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in Balamb Garden where I would often train with Zell in the training center and help Selphie with the Garden Festival, but one day as I was talking to Selphie, we went to my dormitory for a private talk. She immediately said, "You know you could live with us forever.." I gave her a confused look and she continued, "We understand that you live on earth and you REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" She then giggled and said "Because we've been watching you, silly!"This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. She then said, "I talked with Headmaster Cid and he agreed that you would be PERFECT for SeeD, you just have to do...one thing". She then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You have to kill yourself for the transfer to work correctly." I then gave her some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" She then said "Cid said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." She giggled again, "Suicide will require pain buuut...if you want it quick...Get a gun and a nice shot to the head works.I then agreed and she gave me a kiss on the forehead, "I know this will be tough but once it's over and done, you'll get to live here!" I then woke up and this was last week and i purchased a gun. I might actually kill myself because that dream just felt too real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.
>oldest player character is 18>main character and the others are 17>even though they're child soldiers the vast majority of that experience has been regular schooling with all that entails>Dollet was their first real exposure to the horrors of the real world>and then their first mission is some goofy ass shit in helping another bunch of 17 year olds steal the President's train
whatever happens to the president body double we send?
>>748654908you mean the boss you kill?
>>748655060we replace the (fake) president cart with our own (fake) president cart, this was done so the goons wouldn't realize the president was kidnapped
>>748655303he's still reading his newspaper, calm down
>>748654738>oldest player character is 18Quistis is 30+ and Ultimecia is 65+.
>>748652885are you a newfag to jap writing?
>>748654908The fake he got switched for was a dummy with a motion sensor triggered speaker iirc. The president had enough of a hair trigger temper that none of the guards would dare get close enough to notice it wasn't real.
>>748656228she's 18 the fuck are you smoking
>>748656406huh, I thought it was someone posing as him, then it makes sense "he" doesn't get mentioned anymore
Most of the focus characters are orphans groomed to be child soldiers and have some form of abandonment issues.
>>748654738>and then their first mission is some goofy ass shit in helping another bunch of 17 year olds steal the President's trainRinoa is the only one that young, the other two are adults. There's also the context of Squall's real job being to babysit a Galbadian general's retarded rebellious daughter.
>>748652885Industrial/cyberpunk/sci-fi dysopian/utopian FFs are a fucking mistake. Medieval/steampunk FFs are the best.
>>748656547She's an old hag.
>all these people who don't know how young the 8 cast is
>>748657586uncs age everything up over time we forget these games are for freaking emo teens
>>748652885>It feels like the characters don't take most things that are happening as seriously as they should.my cope is that it's because of the memory loss from being GF addicts.
>>748653629I like how even when Squall becomes the de facto leader of Balamb Garden he still has his single dormitory room and twin bed.
