>It's a Final Fantasy game that breaks real easy if you exploit it.

They're all like that, kinda sad.

Sound fun to me.

great game even though I completely slept through the plot twist the first time.

>>4153647
That the whole game starting from disc 2 is Sqall's dying dream?

favorite FF toby honest famygdala

FF8 is hilariously broken. My favorite way to play is to use Enc-None to turn off random encounters, refine the items that bosses drop into magic, and junction the magic to my stats. Since your party never levels up, bosses don't either, but everyone in your party will be super strong since you can refine quite good spells early on.

I sometimes wonder how my life would have turned out without Triple Triad and BoFIII/IV fishing.

Yeah most people have done this for over 10 years now

What if the game had a triple triad battle system

>>4153691
That's what I like about it. There are so many ways to play it from not doing anything to keep it challenging to power-levellings to slide right through it.

this game is in badly need of a PC mod that lets you skip most of the story segments, like New Threat for FFVII did. There's too much fluff that kills replayability

>>4153625
Who would of thought that grinding for 1000s of hours would make you strong?

Thats BS. The "he was dead" trope doesnt exist in japanese media, outside of ghost stories.

FF8 pros:
Easily the best FMV direction of the series
Top tier soundtrack (with the sole exception being Eyes on Me)
Graphics looked great for the time
Triple Triad blows every other minigame out of the water
Squall has great character development

FF8 cons:
Story begins a downward spiral after the first disc
Squall is insufferable for the first half of the game
Everyone else is an annoying incompetent buffoon
The Junction System is stupidly broken
Drawing magic should never have been implemented
Eyes on Me is the gayest shit ever

Overall this game could have benefitted most from a remake if only to fix most of the gameplay issues of the original.

I also love triple triad. FF14 obviously not retro has triple triad you can play against npc and other online players. There is also a triple triad game on the final fantasy portal app which is free. Loads of fun you should check it out.

>be me
Kill yourself you piece of shit

Honestly I wish Square would try something like the junction system again. It's a great idea but once you realize how it worked in 8 you could break it so damn easily.

Maybe some combination of the sphere system in X with the junction system but with hard limits to prevent exploitation.

Also Squall got way more good character development than Cloud did. I still think to this day that Squall is the most well-developed main character in a Final Fantasy.

>like New Threat for FFVII did
Im playing this mod now, i think it's really good but it's pissing me off that Aeris became just a back ground character

Where's is her reaction to the videos in Icicle town? where's is her true reaction to seeying cloud in the weelchair? where's is her participation in highwind bridge discussions? Why is she in the highwind if she was in junon, and probably captured? she's an ancient, not a regular avalanche member

i guess it was nice to see her react to Zack in the crater visions during the reunion

Bosses have fixed levels, refusing to level up does not make bosses easier. This is the dumbest meme.

>>4153629
Sounds like 99% of rpgs desu

>>4153978
