The GOAT
The GOAT
The final dungeon was dumb and the space stuff was dumb. Probably the best cast of the PS1 era though. Overall I liked it but it's pretty middle of the pack for me
Leveling is pointless because enemies scale with you
Battle system is too complex for no reason
I guess I am projecting somewhat because I am also a person with a shell, and frankly I like it and am quite comfortable in here, and if someone tried to drag me out Rinoa-style I would hate it. So it feels really forced to me that it magically works on Squall and they wind up together.
- Great soundtrack (although I don't care for the world map music and regular battle theme, which is kind of a downer in-game)
Yeah, that's the thing about FFVIII. All of the major characters have to deal with the pain of loss, but Squall's the only one who reacts by retreating into a shell because he's tired of getting hurt. You can't be abandoned if you never get attached to begin with, or so he thinks. Squall doesn't really know how to cope, and he's a kid who's trying to act like an adult without really knowing how to be one, largely because he's never really had any adult role models worth looking up to.
I do love the actual ending ending.
And best final dungeon in the series .
The whole point to an RPG imo is to eventually become overpowered and feel like a god. Otherwise the grind feels like a total waste of time and that almost always brings complete dissatisfaction.
also even if you level up to 100, you're still way more powerful than any enemy with proper junctions
Fantastic game. Very annoyed it got skipped over when we got PS4 ports.
