welcome Gen Z, to 4chan

This game was ass when it came out and it's ass today

The story is kino, the music is god tier, the graphics are still the best out of the ps1 ff games.
The junction system makes the combat actually fun. It gives you many different option to play how you want and find fun interesting ways to beat enemies other than hit with strongest attacks. However the game is again way to easy and never requires to you to actually learn any of that to win. If they had made the game so you were forced to knownthenjuncrion system intimately and forces you to develop interestin junction strategies to actually win the game would easily be one of if not the best rpg ever.

However this major flaw hinders it tremendously. As it stands any fun interesting things you do is purely for your own satisfaction and nothing in the game ever requires anything more than just use attack and occasionally heal other than the secret bosses. Even then omega weapon in 8 is inferior to any secret boss in 10 mechanics wise.

Due to the fact that 10 actually requires strategy in its combat and the sheer amount of content. 10 is the best.

Gen Z has never touched a PS1 Final Fantasy game. What a weird cope.

Tactics is better.

>>683789990
If it didn't have the retarded level scaling it would be.

Might actually be the worst game in the series (disregarding everything after 12 because that would be unfair)

12 isn't bad. It's not good either, it's just kinda inoffensive.

Yeah, great game.

you cant turn the valve with squall alone. only 2 people are documented to ever having done it and highly likely cheated

Great soundtrack. The music of VI, VII, and VIII was peak Uematsu.

Same, 8 was shit.

>>683790478
8 Sucks, so does 10. Deal with it.
7 Still holds up today, haven't replayed 9 in 20 years, might have to revisit one of these days.
>>
>>683789990
Is this Nomura fault? If so it's the start of a giant chain of Hot Topic trash

The super bosses in 10 have exactly 2 actions and their overdrive. There are no mechanics, at all.

and 10 and 12 and most of the ones before 7 too. being better than 13 and 15 is not a worthwhile goal

>>683793096
Oh fuck me my point was as soon as I got to Ultimecia FF8 excrutiating pain happened and the infection got my nerves or whatever. I was fucking cursed by that bitch.
>>
>>683792572
10's endgame is so fucking shitty, maybe the worst in the series, just grind for hours just to be able to fight shitty super bosses, not even mentioning the shitty mini games

I love watching the same 2 minute long summon a dozen times per battle

>>683789990
the story was okay, the combat and junction system was interesting, the designs and world were good

but the game suffered from painful world trekking and labyrinthine cities/gardens that utterly slow the game to a crawl every time you have to find your way around one or travel across the world
>>
>>683792837
But it's about 8 you silly willy
>>
>>683789990
>no final fantasy moment ever felt as mindblowing as the assault on Balamb Garden
FF8 was just built different
>>
>>683793916
the demo disk version was better
>>
Why are 8fags so obnoxious?
>>
>>683793916
They wanted to make the 3 gardens combine like getter robo but didn't have enough time. I wish Square eidnr have the 1.5 year dev limit back then. Although now we have the opposite problem. Half the game was supposed to be Laguna shit too and he was the best

my nigger matsu looks like a bona fide shogun an shit

>>683789990
>gameplay
draw system was shit, junction system was broken in an unfun way, upgrades and level scaling are shitty, etc
>story
there are little episodes you can cut out of the story that are quite good but on the whole it's filled with some of the most ridiculous asspulls i've ever seen in a video game & has more plot holes than the moon
>music
10/10 as usual
>visuals/aesthetics
8/10, particularly cool town/city art

What potholes did FF8 have? Its been a while since I last played but I don't remember any plot holes..
>>
>>683793603
literally no one is "too dumb to understand the junction system" you just equip the magic that gives you the highest number and then don't ever use that magic

level scaling is fucked because the more level up the weaker you become compared to the monsters. leveling up is bad. this wasn't some conscious choice by the game designers, it's just shitty game design.
