Explain why the remaster looks like shit.

it doesnt
the original looks like shit in comparison
she looks deformed

The real question is what the FUCK is up with that font? It makes it looks like a trio of autistic amateurs just a few degrees off the low end of the spectrum were making the design choices here.

Finally people will notice that Quistis was wearing pants all along and not boots.

I'll reserve judgment until we see more. It's better but it seems like it might be half assed. Should just put more time into a really nice looking proper remake. Not like 7, just the same game.

"Soul" is the term you use when you want to say "I'm nostalgic for this" but you don't want to say that because nostalgia doesn't sound as objective as saying something has "soul".
Or, if you do have reasons beyond nostalgia, it's because you're too dumb to know how to articulate your opinion.

>why did this company put out an official remaster to sell to people for money when they could tell fans to just mod the game?
Real old head scratcher you got there.

This series seems to draw out the retards, honestly, and I don't mean the honest fans. For some reason some cunts love to hate and this series is heroin to them.

This seems funny to me, because transitioning from ff7 to ff8 always felt to me like the original "soul vs soulless" because they were ditching the more whimsical superdeformed art style for more realism in a series that is implicitly not realistic, so I can't see this as anything but an upgrade; at least the art style is somewhat fulfilled in this fidelity.

It's translated you dip shit, ofcourse the translation team chose a bitch ass font.

You get good threads, you get threads about Tifa's breast sizes and you get people arguing over which game is better. That's FF on Yea Forums.

FF8 is functionally broken thanks to Card Mod. You spend an hour or two farming card mod and, thanks to the junction system, you've essentially turned the game into easy mode

because they lacked the source code and couldn't port FF8 to other systems

Like once in a blue moon you'll get lovely threads of theory-crafting, lore, gameplay discussion, etc. Any other time it's arguing over which game is best and the worst, tit sizes, or just general shitposting.

FFXIII sure as shit didn't help the FF series out any on Yea Forums either, though I do personally like it and XV despite their glaring flaws.At this point I honestly just pick and choose who I reply to anymore on Yea Forums, helps a lot.

They were told that Seifer was executed for attacking Deling, then next thing they know he's the sorceress' knight. I don't think they ever bothered with "it's not you, it's me."

This if they were going to rebuild the code and game anyways, why not just use a more up to date engine that is still easy to use?

Rinoa asks Squall to dance because he's a lonely guy by himself at a military ball/graduation in which everyone is having fun, being happy, and dancing, and he's this guy off by himself with a huge scar on his face. It was Rinoa's way of reassuring him that "Hey, you're a good looking guy, you aren't disfigured, be secure in yourself."
He was referring to the ball scene I imagine in which she was waiting on Seifer and Cid. Even then, Seifer has no real feelings for her and I think she realized that pretty quickly and came to like Squall for his ways more, he was a Seifer that was better essentially in her mind.

same.

I always thought Fujin was a man when i played this 15 years ago.

Do you think Rinoa is not a virgin and Squall just got Seifer's sloppy seconds?

Not really. I don't remember Yea Forums ever being 2008 tier Yea Forums, but it was still more relaxed. It used to have rage threads, but those were mostly in good fun.

Squall actually does look worse. They took him from a stoic and focused aryan male and made him a generic anime looking faggot.

Yeah, Japanese fonts in older games can be a pain. They're no so bad in FF VII or VIII, but some of the more complex kanji are a pain to read in FF IX.

It needed like another six months of development. Maybe even another year. Refine the gameplay mechanics so that it isn't easy to exploit shit and so that the player is enticed to do more than just summon GF's. Rework the story and scrap the orphanage shit, it's pointless. Make Ultimecia Rinoa from the future and give the game a tragic, dark ending, where Squall dies (and Seifer dies too). That way the story fits with "Romeo and Juliet".

>Anyone who constantly summons though is dumbass,

Which is most people and it's the most intuitive way to play the game until the break it. Even once you break it you wind up just doing 9999 physical attacks. The game can be fun but only if the PLAYER enforces arbitrary limits on what they do. That's bad game design. The most intuitive way to play the game should be a reasonably complex manner where the player is encouraged to change their strategy with every battle. Using magic, items, abilities, GF's, and such, as the situation calls for it. FF7 and especially FF9 do a way better job of this.

It will happen. But its in 2024 once all FFVII episodes released. The remastered version is just for building up hype.

There literally has to be, they haven't had any of the source code or FF8 stuff for years, that even included old concept art they lost. Everything in the remaster had to be rebuilt from the ground up.

The pre-rendered backgrounds are pretty good. The overworld, models, animations, and music need the most love.

>they put in the win button

Anybody else upset about this? I hate even having the option.

If they do a remake they should add an easy mode for those who need constant assistance and more regular progression on the difficulty.

Not a single FF does that well at all. You can arbitrarily break every game with summons, or physical attacks, or whatever alone, barring the gimmick fights like "Attack the tail" or "Knock it over the cliff", which FF8 also has.

sup spoony

Nothing else is really needed unless they are gonna give it the FFVII Remake treatment and rebuild it from the ground up. Do what I said here: Frankly, if any of these games needed a fundamental re-imagining it was this one, not 7. All 7 needed was fresh, more modern character models. Make them cartoony for the world map but make fresh, detailed ones for combat. 7 was pretty much perfect as is. So is 9 (less so). However 8 is a mess in terms of story and game design.

No, like I said, 9 does this pretty well. Lots of abilities to play with and you aren't punished for experimenting. The problem with FF8 is that the player never wants to use magic because getting a lot of magic is a pain in the ass and using it will weaken whatever you have it junctioned to.

Regardless, who cares if the other games have shit gameplay mechanics? Make a game with GOOD mechanics.

The main problem with FFVIII is that it's a game where subsequent playthroughs are vastly more enjoyable because you know how and more importantly, WHEN to abuse the Draw and Junction systems.

They did these completely backwards.
FF7 holds up well enough that it didn't need all this work. A graphical improvement, along with some minor gameplay tweeks and maybe an additional area or sidequest they have time to add in.

Whereas FF8 is the one Final Fantasy game that would benefit the most from a complete overhaul from the ground up.

Weird how the most ardent lovers of 8 say it needs a remake. If you loved it so much then I guess it doesn't need much of a remake then.

9 can be broken too pretty easily, and I never understood people's problem with the draw system, it literally takes a couple seconds to refill it back up to where you wanted it, also you talk about good mechanics, but you completely ignore that FF8's draw system and junctioning system requires you to figure out how you want to set your character up, and whether you want to drop stats just for an easier time with a boss, it forces you to figure out how you want to set things up, and constantly shifting around junctions, at least in theory that is what it's supposed to do, but again like every FF game, you can work around that with pathetic ease to where it's not a single problem whatsoever while still being able to experiment.

8's problem is that you can become a literal god at the beginning of the game because you can get insanely powerful magical spells, Lionheart incredibly quickly thanks to Based Triple Triad, and you only need to be Lv. 15 because of the level scaling.

Yeah, true, but even so the game has no challenge at that point. 9 is so much better in this regard because to break 9 you have to grind a lot more. With 8 all you have to do is play the cardgame for an hour or two and boom, you'll have final weapons on most of the party before the end of disc one. You'll be killing enemies, including bosses, in one attack. That's not very fun. The last time I played it, probably about 15 years ago, I did this:

Every character maintains their own magic poo land uses their own GF's. I don't transfer magic or GF's between anybody. Instead all magic and GF's is divided among the six party members. This makes them all weaker but encourages me to make them each more diverse, to develop skill-sets or classes for them.

It was a lot of fun that way.

there's an FF8 HD mod but it doesn't look nearly as good as the remaster does. it's the same models but with some better textures and better res

I love tons of games and I wish they'd get remakes and HD ports as well because quite frankly a lot of those don't hold up these days because their mechanics have been improved upon over the years. Doesn't stop me from going back to enjoy those games, but they games I do enjoy could be improved and even better in a lot of cases which is an exciting prospect. Why does everything gotta be so negative with Yea Forums anyway?

Will I miss anything important by completely ignoring the card game shit?

I enjoy things about 8 but I recognized how very, deeply flawed it is. Also I said this same thing here: >Frankly, if any of these games needed a fundamental re-imagining it was this one, not 7. All 7 needed was fresh, more modern character models. Make them cartoony for the world map but make fresh, detailed ones for combat. 7 was pretty much perfect as is. So is 9 (less so). However 8 is a mess in terms of story and game design.

Oh I didn't love FF8. I think it is somewhere among the worst 3 FF games I've ever played.
That's why I think it could benefit the most from a remake.
Remaking good games is trickier. Too much to get wrong, too many fans to piss off.

No, it's your fault. While yes it's an oversight by the devs, its still your fault for abusing said oversight.

>Gonna be released on PS4

Don't count on it.

I agree with you on all that user, particularly player enforced limits, favourite of mine - run the through the game with encounter none equipped and just relying on cards to get your shit.
As you said though, player enforced limit.
I just can’t fathom how anyone could possibly go through the entire game just summoning over and over, It would just take ages. Why would you do that to yourself?

not particularly, but the card game is a shortcut to getting powerful items quickly.
the most you can miss semi story-wise is the ability to get the airship back and fly around the world on Disc 4 after you go to final dungeon, but all the towns are closed off to you, so it makes zero difference

They already said it was releasing on PS4 you dipshit.

I completely forgot about that.

stop coping and balance your game better

Or you could just play the game with minimal summoning, leveling normally, and without focusing on triple triad at every possible opportunity for max cards and weapons. Ya know, how its meant to be played.

>Not understanding the message

I was saying her panties are gonna be censored, numbnuts.

Or you could just gitgud and play better.

Ah yes, this argument again. If I want to have fun I need to just ignore possibilities in the game. I should impose my own rules on it.

I think that's pretty silly. Why I am even playing the game if I am the one who has to make up all the rules? The purpose of a game is to explore within the parameters set by the game-maker.

It's true that I don't have to get the final weapons in disc 1. I didn't always do that. I also did this: It is very bad design though if to have the richest and most varied experience in the game I was the one who had to invent my own mechanics and totally ignore other game mechanics. That's not what a good game does. A good game will let you play NATURALLY without imposing your own limitations and STILL provide a rich experience.

That's the final word on the matter.

Or else this mithra will sit on your face.

I figured this out when I was 12. No guides, just spending some time on the beach finding out what the abilities you can unlock do.
How am I supposed to be "playing better," exactly? By intentionally gimping myself? That's the exact opposite. Balance your game better.

b-b-but the owls are still around

No, that will be a stupid and unfulfilling way to play. You won't be able to cast magic without weakening your stats. You won't have access to any cool GF abilities without grinding. You'll have to stop constantly to draw magic.

There is potential here, but the game mechanics are clunky and not refined so it doesn't translate into a fun experience. It needs work. It needs more development.

>needing to cheat and exploit FF8
Come on, it's not even hard or time consuming already.
Not him, but the game does let you play naturally just fine, it's not hard at all. Imposing rules to make it more fun on your end is a personal problem.

I get it now.
Games with bad graphics leave more to the imagination, so you fill in the blanks with whatever you want to see, and any good graphics later can't measure up to your imagination.
It's like the monster in horror.

>Or else this mithra will sit on your face.

Now you're just depressing me.

>make junctions affect stats less and physical attacks weaker so you're more inclined to use stronger magic attacks and GFs instead of just hitting for 9999 every turn with a basic attack
there
I fixed it

You have legit autism if you can't see the obvious differences here.

>needing to cheat and exploit FF8
I don't.
>smash the game open immediately after Dollet by making Curagas with L-Mag RF
Apparently this is "cheating" to some people (i.e. retards)

>always thought Quistis was supposed to be almost 30 given she's a professor and makes her attraction to her student even more naughty
>dude she's 18 wooohahooo
Why does nipland have to be so dumb

Then just spend a couple min to get those stats back, it doesn't take that long to do any of that stuff. You can ltierally use like 3-4 different methods to refine stats and abilities without wasting magic. You want God power, go play the Steam version and hit F6, otherwise work for it like a man and even then it takes a pathetic base amount of time.

>I don't.
Most people aren't going to sit around blasting through Triple Triad to get the Ultimate Weapons, no it's not cheating, but it's clearly not intended for you to do that from the get go or before the end of Disc 1, it's just an oversight by the Devs. If you have to do that to make the game apparently more fun, or impose limits on yourself, then you have a personal issue on your own end because of some oversights or flaws, doesn't make the system bad, just makes your personal tastes bad. Stop blaming your own shortcomings and problems on games.

No

This appears to have had the most work done over the others

>Not him, but the game does let you play naturally just fine, it's not hard at all. Imposing rules to make it more fun on your end is a personal problem.

You don't think it is a warning sign that I have to impose my own rules to have fun in this game? The most natural way to play in FF8 is to just summon GF's over and over. The more you do it the faster they summon and at least the boost function makes it a little interactive. I CAN play other ways that are more complex, but that involves me putting more thought into battle than is actually necessary and it means playing less efficiently.

That you can't get your head around the fact that this is bad game design is beyond me. In FF7 you could EVENTUALLY break the game, but it took hours of investment and a lot more knowledge. It was much harder to do. In FF8 you can quickly boost your attributes to insane levels and render fighting a thoughtless, harmless, at best amusing experience. This isn't hard to do either. Just unlock Magic Refine and use it and junction the magic. The Junction system exists to be used and so does Magic RF.

In FF7 though to boost your attributes to insane levels is much more difficult. You have to use a specific ability on specific enemies and it is very slow to do. It takes hours and hours. It also takes way longer to level up and master materia in FF7 than it does GF's in FF8. Not to mention materia is spread out farther in terms of abilities than GF's are in FF8. It's just a better balanced system where by the time you break it you've gotten into the late game and really invested your time and knowledge in it.

In FF9 I'm not really aware of any easy ways to break the game. Farming dragons, I guess. The possibilities that there are take even more time and effort than in FF7. It is more natural to play FF9 by using the varied abilities and skills of your various party members because each is distinct with unique strengths and weaknesses.

child prodigies in anime are fucking dumb as hell
jill (and even moreso rebecca) in RE always struck me as being really stupid as well, they're only 23 and 18(!!!) and serving with a fucking special operations police unit

Of course I see the differences.
One has actually modeled eyes, and one has two black lines instead that you can imagine as any expression you want.

>FF7 Remake looks like the combat might be decent
>This Remaster
If square doesn't fuck this up somehow they might start digging themselves out of the hole they're in, they've been pumping out shit for years.

Oh I'm sure there are lots of ways it could be made better. Could discuss it for hours if we wanted to. I think that the Junction system should probably not be tied to quantities of magic. Rather you learn a spell and you have it forever. When you junction it perhaps you can't use the spell at all? Like you said, keep the concept from FF7 that increasing magical abilities weakens physical abilities.

>oversights or flaws, doesn't make the system bad

You are a moron.

>dude she's 18 wooohahooo
Not only is it mentioned multiple times that Quistis is exceptional because she became an instructor at such a young age, the point is that all the party members save Rinoa were all kids together at the same Orphanage, and so are are around the same age. By the time you got to her speech in the training centre you should've realised her young age and how it relates to her character arc.

You're a fucking retard.

I was referring to "always thinking" during the period of time FF8 wasn't being retarded ie the first 1 and a half disks. Of course I knew shit was dumb by the time that epik twizt came around

>The most natural way to play in FF8 is to just summon GF's over and over.
Unless you're a very dumb 10 year-old you realize immediately that it takes forever to summon them, even with max affinity, and you get much better returns just using a good junction and basic attacking every turn.
>boost
God, boost was fucking shit then and it's shit forever.

>It is more natural to play FF9 by using the varied abilities and skills of your various party members because each is distinct with unique strengths and weaknesses.
This is super fucking true and needs to be said more often. FFX was even better at it, imo.

>You don't think it is a warning sign that I have to impose my own rules to have fun in this game?
Didn't impose rules on my end and I had a blast, sounds like a personal problem.
>The most natural way to play in FF8 is to just summon GF's over and over.
I didn't summon constantly, so clearly not natural, nor did I have to "play less efficiently or put more thought into it" because it's not a hard game.

As for FF7, you could literally AP break the game in Disc 1, you can literally get Fire 3 and Cure 3 before the end of Disc 1 with pathetic ease. And you are right, farming Grand Dragons in Disc 1 breaks the game, as does Zidane's # of steals, and catching frogs.

Every game can be broken if you go that route. Even in FF8 it takes more effort to break the game because you spend it drawing, playing triple triad, etc. You don't even have to summon constantly to play it naturally, nor do you have to waste your time drawing constantly to repopulate your stats.

No because if that was the case, every FF game would be bad, but that clearly isn't the argument here, now is it?

Quistis looks better
Squall looks way worse

He's missing the "heavy feeling hair" he inherited from Laguna.

>Thinking Quistis was 30 for ONE AND A HALF DISCS
Yeah, you're retarded.

It's a joke retard

>The most natural way to play in FF8 is to just summon GF's over and over. The more you do it the faster they summon and at least the boost function makes it a little interactive.

Uhh boosting and summoning constantly pales in comparison to properly using the junction system and skills. I knew this shit when I was fucking 10.

because they're following Dissidia's Squall design, you dumb idiot
compare Dissidia NT Squall and the FF8 remaster, they're identical

Quistis looks good

It is the portion of oversights and flaws in the system that makes it bad. FF8 has enough oversights and flaws that it becomes bad. The oversights and flaws in virtually all the other games, except perhaps 13, are not nearly so great a portion of each "system" in each game.

The system in FF8 is incomplete and unrefined.

That takes more experience with the game and more exploration with its mechanics. As I said though, it winds up creating gameplay where you just use physical attacks. That's even more boring than summing GF's. Best to alternate.

Neither is a very FUN way to play though and it is why FF8 doesn't have a great reputation. The system is bad and it needs work.

>I just can’t fathom how anyone could possibly go through the entire game just summoning over and over, It would just take ages. Why would you do that to yourself?
That's how I first played FF8. I was 10, and it was literally my very first JRPG. Naturally, Adel was the biggest brick wall ever, and it took me months of actually learning how to play the game before I could beat her with the abilities and magic I had at that time.

No threat of censorship or design changes that way too

>That takes more experience with the game and more exploration with its mechanics

I learned this system when I was a fucking child. Also you can use shit other than physical attacks/skills, you got a lot of fucking shit to use, you just lose some stats you can get back in like 3 fucking minutes.

Sounds like a personal problem to me if I've ever heard one, I wasn't even good at vidya when I was a kid, gitgud.

Yeah I think stylisation would suit the world and characters better, and you don't have to sacrifice some of the more childish or silly moments from the original game. Not to mention that the project would be more manageable compared to the mess they're in now.

>I was referring to "always thinking" during the period of time FF8 wasn't being retarded ie the first 1 and a half disks
They talk about Quisty being 18 in the first 2 hours of the game. You could also have opened the manual and immediately read that Quistis Trepe is:
>Age 18 Height 5'6"
>A top-notch member of SeeD who serves as Squall's instructor
>A SeeD cadet at the age of 15, Quistis now instructs Squall and his companions at Balamb Garden. Contrary to her cool exterior, she occasionally has a difficult time coping with frustration, and as a result can become depressed over trivial matters.

Have you ever leveled up in VIII? Most enemies have pretty poor stat growth. The few enemies that can fight back die to meltdown + limit breaks as fast as everything else. I swear you fucks have never played VIII normally and think leveling up makes the game unwinnable because you never actually fought higher level enemies. Bosses have fucking level caps, they can't even scale properly.

Emulate PS1 if you have the option.

It's the eyes and lips that are making the difference. Old Squall model has dark eyes and thick lips. Makes him seem more brooding.

Technically Zell has the strongest limit break if you're in the know and just use his first two attacks over and over like 20 times for obscene damage.

8 had best Molbols.

I wanna fuck Edea

Probably the same faggot who put a sash on Squall in Dissidia fucked up his hair.

Oh fugg :D

Hey Squall show me your gunblade

All they did here was change some models, but you can be the environments will still be pixelated prerendered images.

whatever

So Amano did it?

Never noticed the German inspiration.

Literally who. Dont even remember why he was there. Kinda like Amarant.

>Make Ultimecia Rinoa from the future
This needs to stop. It will never be thematically appropriate.

Quit your faggotry. Irvine is not only one of the best party members in terms of damage but he's also an important part of the story, unlike Amarant.

Gay hat though.

You're gay.

I really wish there's a toggle for the original character models. That wouldn't be that hard wouldn't it. I liked that the originals tried to replicate the "make a photo of a dev and slap it on the model" style of realistic rendering, and the new Squall is pretty bad (although the other characters are done fantastically and very close to the source for some reason)

Aren't we all?

It's not nearly as bad, or bad at all. Even then, there are no intricate facial animations to fuck up, so the range of acceptability is wider for me.

It looks better
Get over it you incel boomers

>generic anime designs are good for me
based zoomer

Why does it look so fuckin cartoony, looks like it spilled out of KH

It's just that the eyes are defined now like it was a gameplay model of FFX instead of the PS1. Everyone looks good and very faithfull except Squall imo. What a shame.

Opinion =/= Truth

Yikes,bluepilled cringe zoomer.

>In FF9 I'm not really aware of any easy ways to break the game.
Not exactly "breaking" the game but you can breeze through the game super easily by just making the current best weapons for Zidane whenever you come across a synthesize shop, give him MP attack and all the "-slayer" abilities and he'll kill any boss in a couple of hits throughout the entire game.
