VIII is the one game in the series I've just never been able to sit through. I've tried quite a number of times and have even gotten pretty far in some attempts but without fail I'll just lose steam and not be able to stand playing it anymore after awhile. I don't know what it is about the game but... blugh.

Then again my first FF game as a kid was IX so... yeah I was hella spoiled in that regard. Going from the best in the series to VIII is a giant gap.

Vanille at least has character depth. Most of the cast of VIII barely have much going on. Selphie for instance is just kind of there to be a bubbly personality. That's pretty much it she has no real character dept or plot significance.

The fact that Final Fantasy VIII is a real thing that exists is still such a surreal thought to me. Like... look at these completely accurate descriptions of plot and characters. How is this a real game?

The funny thing about Squall is that Dissidia wrote him far better than his original game and he gets about 1/4th the development and screen time in that game.

I love IX to pieces but some of those optional key items can just gently caress right off. I've never gotten the King of Jump Rope nor the Excalibur II and I doubt I ever will.

Now if only that romhack was for FFTA instead of FFT I would be much more interested. :smith:

You could already snap that game into a billion pieces normally, I'd love to see what fresh hell can occur in a randomized version.

Crisis Core was a really good loving game and I would probably replay it if I cared to play on my PSP again.

Some story parts were questionable, like the entire existence of Genesis entirely. Game was still really enjoyable though I agree and probably one of the most painful endings to game I've played.

Nah, the best way to enhance your Final Fantasy VII experience is to just name every single character Sephiroth.

Marche is fun because you spend the entire game trying to destroy the world while also committing grand theft and mass murder. And he's still the hero of that story.

To this day I still don't understand what the hell is with that enemy or why it's there specifically. If memory serves me there was a similar killer house monster somewhere in IX.

Are killer houses a thing in Japan or something?

Seems to be a common complaint with OCremix, it's one of those love it or hate it kinda things. I typically enjoy most stuff from the site but I know people who absolutely refuse to go there at all.

Different strokes for different folks I guess. I'm excited about the prospect of an FFIX album though, it is unabashedly my favorite of the series.

I don't understand the accessories that just say:

(some condition)
Effect: 2 Times

Like Near Opponent or whatever. What is the effect? idgi

There's 2 types of accessories.

Basic Accessories give you some kind of statistical advantage: damage, defense, etc.
Booster Accessories like what you just mentioned modify the amount of things you get from your basics. In example "While Airborne Effect: 1.5x" would give a 1.5x boost to your basic accessory benefits while you're in the air.

Sure, they both grew up in their own adventures but they never interacted during those times. They probably worked up in their head all the things they would do or say when they finally met again but when you are staring that person face-to-face all that probably melts away pretty quickly with anxiety. What happens when that occurs is they just defaulted back to what was comfortable and what they knew. Which was to call dad a stupid bitch and son a whiny kid. I think they both understood underneath that they couldn't bring themselves to say what they really wanted. Tidus even says "Don't worry, I'll make it quick", implying he wanted to end Jecht's misery rather than just punch him in the balls for revenge.

Basically, the two of them were just really horrible at conveying emotions to each other and communicating and all the character growth in the world didn't help when they finally saw each other again in the moment.
