When did you realize that Final Fantasy VIII is the best game in the series?

I like its aethestic and lore/world buiding.
It's hella more interesting than the rest of FF series. FFVII and FFX are very close but not quite.

When I hit disc 2 and stopped playing.

7, 8, 9 are all extremely good. They are also really different, each having its own distinct style.

But yeah, 8 is fucking awesome.

drawing system is trash and there is no point in leveling up

When I realized that after buffing my stats with card mod like crazy, all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the ride.

Unironically has the best OST and the WWI aesthetic is godlike. The gameplay isn't great but mainline FF has shitty gameplay anyway.

when I traveled to the parallel universe where the game is more fleshed out and the junction system is more intuitive

its SUPPOSED to be shit

7 is literally the only good game in the Final Fantasy series. All the rest are too weeb and anime and very nerd.

>8 bad!!

What exactly are you fronting the $200 for? Do you buy every game new or something?

Junctioning spells is how you "level up." They just replaced EXP grind with draw grind and added a fun card game to the mix.

i find it the most comfy i like its soundtrack and i like the level of customization you get not memeing at all its my favorite in the series

as some user said a long time ago

"FF 8 is both the worst and best final fantasy"

FFXII is the best game in the series and you know it user.

FF8 is the most realistic of the first ten games, every other FF has talking animals and way more cutesy shit

8 is being WW2 hugo boss in aethestic.

yeah gameplay wise it is the best.
Western devs were shamelessly copy its gameplay too (DAO).

Nice joke

It's almost as if its called Final FANTASY you seething fagotron.

Whatever.

He only half-crits. The multiplier is merely 1,5.

I'm glad Square lost the data for VIII so they can never remaster it. Let VIII die, only old men remember it now

Thanks! It's quality is higher than FFFVIII's, that's for sure!

Remaster would be enough.

To appeal western market.

Wasnt Balthier basiclly Seifer none cringe version?

I never understood the fuss about the combat system, though. It's literally just ATB with movement. That's it. I can't help thinking it was just backlash from 12 not being like 10.

you know that can't happen.

12 was better than 10 in everything except midgame content which was a snoozefest in 12

Imagine if Squall goes "that feel when no Griever GF" and Riona gets upset since she thought he meant Girlfriend instead of Guardian Force.

I knew the entire time OP.

That game came out 13 years ago user

>draw grind

Um what? You aren't drawing any magic from enemies other than GFs, are you? There's a lot better ways to get spells than that.

Balthier was way more cringe than Seifer though

How so? Seifer was all about muh knight with little to no motivation other than that. He also had way less screen time than Balthier and the same time had way more autisitc tantrums.

I think people got fixated on drawing and junctioning because of the horrendously dragged tutorials. On the flip-side GF abilities were kinda glossed over.

>he thinks any game other than 6 is the best

I don't care really, I replay it every year or two. I like it the way it is.

After I had played most of the other games. And realized every FF game has the same formula. Great starting premise and first act, then falls apart somewhere in the middle. Final Fantasy VIII is no different. But it has the best first half of any FF game.

However, it was later surpassed by this game. Turns out when you remove the bad story and break the series down to just its best parts, music, gameplay and character customization, Final Fantasy actually gets good.

my god, i need a fucking rpgmmo based on FVIII lore with Gardens and SEED and witches an all the shit and triple triad.

A remake would be good. But Square would fuck it up, like they have every previous FF remake. So no thanks.

Plus, there's just too much they'd have to change in the remake. They'd have to basically change the entire story to 1) Get rid of Rinoa and 2) Focus more on Laguna's story influencing time travel. And Square would never allow that. Their remakes are just graphical upgrades with all the same flaws the original game had.
