It wouldn't have worked anyway. Ultimemecia would have found a way to weasel out of getting shot somehow. Honestly might have made the situation worse for Squall and the gang.

These are the retards who then go online to complain that FFVIII's story is "too complicated" and that they "couldn't understand it" despite that everything is quite clearly explained throughout the entire game, multiple times, every single step of the goddamn way.

Did you catch the Seifer-Laguna connection? The only reason anyone uses gunblades (which is, even by the game's internal logic, a fantasy weapon) is because they're fans of the movie Laguna recorded. Seifer even takes this a step further, claiming he wants to protect the sorceress, and his victory pose is the same as the one Laguna does in the movie.

Good thing you literally do not have to grind at all. FFVIII throws so much drawable magic at you that you can play it minimum battles casually and still have plenty of stuff on tap to stomp everything you come across.

I thought you had to draw like crazy so you can be super powerful with the junction system. Can you really just cruise through enjoyably never drawing from enemies?

Because it's so rare. I also like how the only way to get better weapons is to visit a junk shop, like, weirdo tinkerers are the only people who can work with gunblade, and they need an instruction manual to do it.
>>
>>728847880
You should never never draw. There is useful stuff you can draw from enemies. Some spells can be quite rare and valuable. And of course, drawing GFs.
What you really don't need to do is drawing 100 fire spells the first time you step out of Balamb Garden.

Yes, the in-game database says it's very hard to use effectively so no one bothers. Squall and Seifer use it because they're tryhard teenagers trying to look cool.

Have you ever tried? You don't need to break the game, suppress your level on purpose, grind Triple Triad, or any of that shit.
Fuck, all you DO need to do is remember to manually pick the RF abilities on your GFs early on so you can convert all the Wizard Stones the game dumps on you all the time into mid level magic, not to mention tents and other easily found/bought stuff that refines.
This isn't even arcane knowledge or high-end gameplay. This is stuff you should be trying anyway.

I've only played the game once back when it came out. Got to disk three and just was burned out and moved on. So it's been so long "RF abilities" and "Wizard Stones" is nonsense to me I have no clue what that means. But the thread was making me consider giving it another play. I really enjoyed the world.

This statement makes it not a fantasy weapon. Just an extremely inefficient stupid thing to use. It's the difference of me trying to use a scythe to fight vs a lightsaber. One is real (and retarded to fight with), the other is not real at all.

Always be manually picking what your GFs learn. Especially if a boss battle is coming up. Get them refine abilities as fast as you can. Card Mod isn't bad either if you have even a slight interest in playing cards normally, but no need to grind that out either.

This game can be cheesed so hard just by spamming limit breaks. But it actually becomes more fun that way, when you use Squall and Zell's limit breaks.

You are not supposed to stand in battle drawing. Instead you refined the spells from items. Go GF menu, choose abilities. You now see you can choose which abilities the GF is learning. If left default the GF first learns the useless GFHP ups abd GFMag ups. At the end of the list are the refining abilities.

Only idiots stood in battles drawing spells. The draw vommand is only to draw GFs from bosses

The scene before the second Laguna dream sequence where Rinoa is going off at Squall and getting progressively more angry because he's only replying to her in his thoughts and not actually saying a word out loud before he has a migraine and collapses is really funny.

I thought the game was encouraging me to. Well when I give it another go I won't draw except for to check for GFs then. Good to know I don't have to use it and I'll be fine.

I played Triple Triad online version with my school mates and we used Same, Plus, Same Wall, Plus Wall and Random because it was more interesting. Once you played against himans you realize how bad the game's AI opponents are.

Funnily some random online players refused to play with trade rules because they were afraid of losing cards
>>
>>728849059
Selphie, Zell and Irvine all have varying moments of competence. Rinoa is retarded but she's also the only party member who was just a civilian girl and not a trained mercenary (well a civilian girl in a terrorist group that pampered her like a princess so not much difference). Quistis is the only one who is truly incompetent given her background and makes some truly retarded decisions like ditching her post in the assassination mission to go apologize to Rinoa.
>>
>>728847549
Never thought it was too complicated.
It abused the “Vagueposting King” kind of dialogue before the story decided it was the right time to explain things. This kind of vagueness can be seen as complicated although that wouldn’t be the correct word for it.
And then there is the convenience device of the orphanage. I thought it was cute but a lot of people felt it was forced.
Laguna should’ve had more screen time btw.

Yep. If you check the Balamb Garden library, a girl complains that someone is always renting that one movie. Basically Seifer is just watching it over and over agian, becoming completely obsessed.

More noticeable, Seifer's outfit becomes more tattered and torn every time you fight him to signifiy his descent into obsession. He does surprisingly survive the events of the game which is nice I suppose.

What makes FF8 great is the military theming. It's cool and unique for RPGs. Military themes are common in other genres but for an RPG it stands out and they have an unique fantasy take on it too, you're not just dudes with guns in cammo. All the coolest moments happen when you're doing some kind of military operation. The story weakens over time because it slowly abandons its military theme as the game progresses.

If you discount X-2’s dresspheres because they’re gay af, FF5 is still possibly the best implementation of a Job System in a mainline game to this day.
It was just tacked on in TZA.
That’s a selling point itself.

Is it ever explained why Laguna tells Squall's sister to fuck off after he becomes president, then stops caring about her even though her mother (which is also his wife) is dead and she's now in an orphanage?
It's probably the most retarded moment in the game, 2nd being Squall letting Rinoa go to prison only to immediately try to break her free.

He doesn't tell her to fuck off. Raine was still alive after Laguna rescued Ellone and he has no idea Raine is pregnant. So Laguna sends Ellone home and tell her he'll come after he finishes helping Eshtar. Then Raine gives birth and dies and the Winhill villagers send the two kids to the orphanage.

This text from Ultimania shows what Irvine was thinking during the shot.

>Irvine – What I can do
>I'm always thinking, like... all that stuff about people having unlimited possibilities in life, that's a lie. The idea that you'll get the chance to make all those choices you've been thinking about, and that the exact result you've been hoping for will be waiting for you at the end... that's just not going to happen.
>But we still come to many crossroads where we get to choose our own path. Maybe you don't like any of the ones you see there, but choosing the best one possible anyway, that's all you. It's precisely because I made a choice like that in Deling City I'm able to be here with my friends right now. So even if that decision leads me down a path where I have no idea what might be waiting for me at the end, I still want to go there with my head held high. I want to value the life I've spun out of my own choices. I want to have pride in the fact that I'm not just being swept along by some current.

1/2.
>>
>The enemy we have to fight is Matron. The woman who killed President Deling and took control of Galbadia as its new dictator... but I know. I know... I know that we used to call her our "mother". Our kind, beautiful "Matron". We all loved her very much. I have no idea why our Matron became the feared, ruthless Sorceress Edea. But she is our opponent, and so we have no choice but to fight her.
>They all totally forgot about it. About our childhood...about Matron, about all the memories we made together. Turns out it was a side effect from junctioning GFs inside their heads. The price of power. I suppose maybe Headmaster Cid thought they'd be happier that way, and made them use the GFs on purpose.
>... but, you know? I think they need to hear this, before we do it. They need to know that our enemy is Matron. Maybe they'll fret about it, or feel bad about the whole thing. But after thinking about it for a while, I feel like making that choice will be a source of strength. That's what I believe. So, I'm gonna fight. To protect Selphie, and Squall and everyone else...

People talk about a remake, but i am honestly worried that they might tie FF8 in the last FF7R game. They've been hinting too much shit. Honestly, i feel that SE have been remaking FF8 in various forms for years now, and i'm afraid that Nomura, Nojima, and so on are all so lost in the sauce that if they try to remake FF8 you'll get a bunch of retarded nonsense like clones within clones and time jannies.

I think its fucking cool how Squall just comes up with these attacks on the fly to inflict maximum damage to his opponent. He doesn't just hit the same spot ten times, he moves around in a logical way hitting anything and everything he can. You just don't see this level of detail in anything anymore.

Picture not related, but one of the only good things to come out of the MtG collaboration.

People jerked off FF7’s animations to no end, so animations were obviously a big priority for 8.

IMO, FF8 is one of the most visually impressive games ever made. Even with the low-poly PS1 models, the art direction, cutscene direction and animations are 11/10.

9 and 10 because they're the best

>>728849315
It's a mix of this and the game as a whole being popular to shit on so people don't need to think too hard about Squall.
If FF7 had a mechanic like draw/junction that filtered people, they wouldn't have put in the effort to realize and make well known that Cloud isn't emo either.

Play all three of them, because they’re all classics.

6 is probably the most dated, but it still holds up mostly well and you can tell it was mindblowing for its time. 7 is one of the fan favourites, so you’re either going to love it just the same or find it overrated, but good. 8 is the most controversial one because it has really unique gameplay systems and a story that’s very dream-like and surreal. It’s a love it or hate it kind of game, but if it clicks with you, it’s exceptional.

>>
6 is overrated
>>
>>728861317
IMO, 6 has a problem of it having too many cast members. The ones that actually get development are well realised, but there’s also a bunch of characters who are very one-note. It think it’s for the best that the series never had that many party members in a single game again.
>>
>>728850936
I don't know, but when I was a teen and I saw Seifer cut Odin in half I thought it was the most badass thing ever happened in every FF
>>
>>728861605
8 is full of stuff like this. They really wanted to make an impression. The SeeD ship crashing into the beachhead (a FMV cutscene) immediately shifting to gameplay without a loading screen or screen flicker, Squall's attack on Edea during the parade, the Garden's clashing, Lunatic Pandora's flight over the city...all of it was very technically impressive for the time.
>>
>>728848426

Don't do this to me. Every five years or so, I convince myself that FF8 is much better than I remember and I replay it only to get disappointed. The game
>>
>>728861737
It still is impressive. How many other games let you retain full control of your character during heavily cinematic cutscenes? The only other one I can think of is Assassin’s Creed 1. Every other game that tries to do something similar does the Half-Life thing, which isn’t quite the same.
>>
>>728861737
This is why I don't understand this constant "E33 guys must do FF8" push. The original dev team for FF8 was near 200 people big, ambitious as hell and unmatched in spectacle at the time. If this is ever revisited it deserves to be in the full scope of its original development spirit. Go big or go home.

It’s because FFVIII is the director of E33’s favourite game, and E33 obviously took inspiration from VIII in places.

Personally, I think they could make a good clone of VIII, but not VIII itself.

People tend to forget that 8 had a nearly unlimited budget and the devs had a full carte blanche to do whatever the hell they wanted after SE had more money than god after the success of 7...the problem was that they were given a tight deadline and a lot of stuff was left on the cutting room floor. The game is extremely impressive regardless.
>>
>>728862859
VIII is one of my favourite FFs, but I do think it feels rushed towards the end. To me, it seems like the plot is on fast forward once you hit Esthar.
>>
>>728853169
It's more than that. Seifer is his friend but Squall was too worried about how it would look to say it until then. He has a breakdown because everyone is bad mouthing Seifer.
The game plays around with limited player knowledge a lot. If you look at how Squall and Seifer interact, they get along very easily. Squall does not communicate with other people normally.
>>
>>728849230
quistis is like 19
>>
>>728863181
Fun fact, the reason Seifer bully Squall so much is because he can still remember their past and his usual competitive nature.
He is annoyed that Squall treats him somewhat coldly despite them growing up together, he doesn't take Quistis whole teacher act seriously because she is just his little sister after all, and he is still bullying Zell after all those years for the same reasons. This is also why he agreed to ally with Edea so easily.

He also doesn't use GF.
>>
>>728862526
That's respectable and all but it's apparent they don't have the skill or manpower to do a game of this range. I know no one is waiting on trilogy bloat like what SE is doing with 7, neither am I, but you're going to want a company of that size to actually handle it. Guaranteed to be underwhelming otherwise.
>>
>>728850936
Because it didn't. Seifer was an autist of the highest order snd wouldn't have understood her coming onto him if she pushed him down and stripped him.
I don't know why idiots keep acting like Seifer is some gigachad when his whole point is being a loser.

It’s probably for the best that the assassination attempt failed. Martine was planning to use Balamb as the fall guys afterall, which would have fucked things up even harder if Edea actually died.

That makes it better. Plus, she ain't used goods and if you care about shit like that, there's still Quistis who is also another high quality waifu. I hate how you can't even choose between the girls. You have to be with the whore because Nomura was a massive Rinoafag.

I don't know. Just don't settle for whores if you have any semblance of self-respect and sense, IRL and in vidya. The only exception to that rule are all the Intoners in Drakengard 3 (except for Two, who is a miracle of the universe and Four, who despite being a virgin, is the biggest whore of them all).

I could see Quistis and Squall working out fine too because I also think Selphie x Irving is a great match.

I'm more mad the canon relationship is between Squall and Rinoa, a woman that basically flirts with you, fucks with you and dumps you when she gets bored. Like she's a good sidepiece or a whore you go to when you're on a long business trip, but she's very clearly the type of bitch that runs around and steals time, money and energy from men and them leaves them when they aren't useful. I think Squall deserves a better woman than the town bicycle.

>>
>>728874237
no i agree, I mean I get what they were trying to do with Rinoa but I don't feel like she was even that supportive to Squall. The space scene was cute and all and Squall opening up to comatose Rinoa was great but just in general I don't really buy their relationship. They just butt heads for the first quarter of the game and then suddenly everyone just pines for them to be together. even worse when you get the "canon" song choice and she starts having a shitfit at playing the song wrong and your relationship with rinoa goes down.

Shit like this is why relationships in games always fall so flat: they never make any reals sense when you consider the personalities of the people involved and are only held together by bad writing. I'd rather devs just focus on making shit look and play cool rather than bogging something potentially good down with bad relationship melodrama if they can't write them well.
>>
>>728874518
>but I don't feel like she was even that supportive to Squall.
I replayed FF8 recently and it's honestly the exact opposite. She's manipulative as fuck, she negs the shit out of Squall and the party to get them to follow along with her retarded ideas and deliberately puts herself in danger for attention.
They should have dumped her off back in Timber after the shit she pulled during the battle between Balamb and Galbadia.

Am I the only one that wasnt surprised that 'it was all amnesia' from like 5 minutes in?
I was 8 years old and even then I knew it was going to do that because from what I can recall, I never played the remaster, last I played was 20 years ago, that you could just open Squall's PC and it literally tells you they eat memories.
Or are people just memeing about it being a 'twist'?
Did people not inspect everything when playing the game or any RPG for that matter?

I hate Nomura so much it's unreal. FF8 could've been so fucking kino that no other Final Fantasty would ever surpass it. It had the action, it had the suspense and the drama, it had the thriller aspect and most importantly it had the genki girl love interest to turn the COLDSTEEL THE HEDGEHEG "Fuck you I'm STONE FUCKING COLD" bad boy into her knight and champion aiming to win her heart and protect her from not just a cruel indifferent universe but from an evil beyond all evil that seeks to ruin what is pure. Now it's just cuckshit and I have enough dignity not to entertain that garbage.

This retard is even ruining Squeenix as we speak. He should be fired, blacklisted and branded so he never works on a video game ever again.

>Oh no, but you must be with and protect the girl the girl who let all the other SEEDs fertilize her Balamb Garden and fall in love with her
Nah I'm good.

>>728882256
In terms of cuteness, no. Selphie is cuter and that's a fucking fact. In terms of femininity, that's debatable. Rinoa acts feminine but in the underhanded bitchy sort of way, not the type of femininity any man should want or need.

Nomura had a lot more influence over the games’ scenarios, not just drawing shit.
I remember he wrote some characters for FF6 and a couple of story beats for FF7.
Gamedev was a lot smaller back then (despite huge teams for the time) and individual key players had a look at multiple parts of the project.
