(hxh)That HxH fight had some good moments but also had some of the most eye-rolling narration I've ever heard and I can't think too positively of it.

yup, absolutely ruined it for me. (DBZ) worse than freeza for me, arguably, since hxh doesn't really get the same narm charm points.

my sister is a huge fan of the n64 and gamecube paper marios, was iffier on the wii one.

i just looked up OK's battle system, and while it seems clever, it also seems a little difficult and abstract. i'm guessing it'll be less enjoyable if it's punishing or frustrating.

do you think it or bug fables be a better buy for a paper mario fan?

everyone's comments are kind of getting at what i mean about forming bonds to FFVIII. the cutscenes are cinematic and gorgeous, for sure. but those camera angles are cumbersome during regular play and the cinematics can make actual battles a lot more tedious! similarly, FFVIII has some amazing tracks... but they're the ones that are played less, not more. man with the machine gun and fisherman's horizon are all-timers, but they're the only ones that are consistent.

for now, i think i have:

6 (emulated SNES) > 7 (switch port) > 8 (switch port) >= 4 (DS port emulated)

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

So for plot/world... I think FFVIII had some really good stuff going for it, and a lot of bad stuff. It clearly wants to be a story about friendship and love, but there just wasn't enough writing behind that to support it, and the orphanage/destiny/GFs wiped our memory elements . There's also the inherent ridiculousness of SeeD as a concept; it's somewhat justified by the fact that it was a self-fulfilling loop, but overall I was left wanting.

I mentioned this during the game, but FFVIII is a game of great set pieces and bad connective tissue. Galbadia as a whole, the orphanage storyline, and Adel/Ultimecia (as @andylt pointed out) were all lacking in execution. But then you've got the first dance, the train heist, the assassination attempt on Edea, the prison break, the battle of the Gardens, the Seifer battles, the "Eyes on Me" sequence, a bunch of great Laguna parts, and a pretty neat final boss. I just wish the game containing these great set pieces were more consistently developed. I think the game gave us a hint at how cool it could be in the Esthar portion, once we finally (mostly) abandoned the Galbadia/sorceress storyline and got Ragnarok, but there was so little story left at that point that it's hard to credit it as much.

I'm not sure how much of the relative tedium of the game should be attributed to the graphics/soundtrack experience. I already talked about my issues with the visuals - it was hard to control and to tell what enemy was selected in battle, and overall that's just frustrating. It is visually much more impressive than its immediate predecessor (maybe because it's the HD remaster?), but arguably the block graphics have more charm (and sprites definitely beat out these models).

More importantly, in a Square RPG, I'm generally expecting some super-memorable leitmotifs. I don't remember any individual character's theme, and probably most damningly, the Balamb Garden and Overworld themes are way below average for the series. These are by far (along with the so-so, but not bad, battle theme) the most heard tracks of the game. Maybe I develop a stronger bond with the game if it's just a little more accessible music- and controls-wise.

I almost feel like you have to stumble your way through FFVIII once to figure out how you want to play it, and then it opens up on a replay when you know what you're doing.

i can see this. there's so much to it and so many ways to customize. but for a first and only time through, it felt like i needed to play by guide!

Gameplay

- This was bar non the hardest FF for me simply to control. In the fixed 3D environment, it's really hard to tell what you can interact with and can't, and it was hard for me to reach the spots I was supposed to reach many times. The controls are often mapped isometrically. I had a lot of frustration simply not realizing where it was possible to walk. Save points and specific trigger spots could often add 5 or so awkward second trying to find just the right spot. I eventually realized this, but there's like a very specific point (marked by a miniscule shadow on the ground) that you have to reach to trigger the Omega Weapon battle, too. Also, this game and FFVII made ATB feel outdated; navigating the menus with time pressure while having this ridiculously cinematic and long animations just felt completely wrong.

- I'm a major hoarder, which made the refining system a nightmare for me. This is a personal issue maybe, but permanently losing spells and whatnot always sucks and discouraged my experimentation.

- Speaking of not liking experimentation - didn't like the limit break system this game, unfortunately. I just have too much anxiety to leave my characters at low health hoping a limit break will come. I don't even remember what Irvine, Selphie, and Quistis's limit breaks were. Other than Squall pulling the trigger, this meant that a character was almost entirely defined by their junctions to me. I missed the consistent way you could unleash limit breaks in FFVII, where I got at least to see everyone's.

- The junction system is pretty cool overall, probably my favorite part about the gameplay - though the non-regenerative spells made for a bit of an unfun tradeoff. Sadly, I also felt like GFs were a suboptimal play so that I wound up no longer using them fairly early into the game - I simply didn't have enough junctionable spots to justify it anymore. Maybe a nicer way of limiting than limiting spells and how many commands you could junction to each character would have been to limit the number of GFs you could junction per character? That would really have diversified the game when switching party members.

- If I didn't know about how the game handled enemy leveling, I guess I never would have been bothered by it, but I did think it was a little sad that you couldn't buy more and more weapons and especially armor all the time. I always enjoy the rather uncreative routine of discovering a new town and then buying up the new equipment and armor there - those force you to make choices occasionally (who to give the best armor to; who should get which amulets) that seem lower-stakes than junctioning GFs and commands.

- I wish the card game were more... integrated?... into the game. When I said "sidequest mode time," I started playing the card game. But rules like Random made me just want to quit. I think it's really cool that people play cards all the time, but the fact that you can beat the game without playing cards and not even think about it - hell, I almost did it, and up until I wrote this bullet point, I'd entirely forgotten about playing it - is just really disappointing! Collecting cards/playing the card game is like collecting Pokemon and battling trainers, but at least in Pokemon you're forced into a few random encounters and trainer battles!

Quick overview of the characters...

Squall - As moody as promised! As I mentioned before, most of the greatness for Squall is of the "thrust upon him and desperately demanded of him" variety instead of the personal struggle variety. Other than skill and looks, he doesn't show much that causes everyone to insist upon his being so damn important. Everyone's insistence on making Squall their leader was mindnumbingly annoying in the first half of the game. Once he does get that responsibility forced on him, he steps it up a little and winds up being a solid member of the cast.

Seifer - I think we're missing just a little something to flesh out Seifer, that maybe was in the game. Why did he wind up being so desperate to be someone's Knight? Does he care about Rinoa, who seems to care about him? He has a badass character design and some really neat fights, but... I just wish we had more from him, and/or that we could have had him as a playable character later!

Quistis - Contributed basically nothing to the game, unfortunately. She has this really dumb crush on Squall that's resolved in one of the stupider ways imaginable, and she seems like obvious fetish-bait with the hot-for-teacher and the whip motifs.

Zell - High-energy to an annoying extent, but obviously good-hearted. Story-wise he winds up just stanning for Squall a lot and that's kind of unfortunate.

Selphie - I usually appreciate the Genki Girl archetype. Selphie definitely fits; her train stuff was fun, and her insistence on going to Trabia Garden was also appreciated. Ultimately she didn't seem that important, so she didn't get that much play, but now I'm a bit sad.

Rinoa - I wanted to like her so much. She's beautiful, she's the main love interest, and she's likable... but also she is entirely defined by her relationship to men, she's constantly constantly being kidnapped, and she complains about her weakness that aren't really backed up by anything and don't really add anything to the story. You could read FFVIII as a coming of age story for Rinoa, but from that angle, it's also sadly underdeveloped. The good part is that she has a dog. She was also fun with Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect, though those of course are... not so much characteristics of her. Gameplay probably in a different section, though.

Irvine - Like Selphie, Irvine plays a fun archetype as the womanizer. It does get to kind of creepy levels at first, but the revelation that HE GREW UP IN THE SAME ORPHANAGE as them does lower the creep factor by a bit. He's got a cool character design but doesn't have a lot else going for him.

Laguna - Obviously the most enjoyable character. It's obvious why he's not the main character of this story: he lacks that 90s teen angst that characterizes Squall and, honestly, Cloud as well. Wholesome, funny, and energetic without being annoying - this is my type of character.

Edea - Her motivations don't really make a drop of sense until the end, but she's not even herself for most of the time when she's on screen as the villain, and after that she becomes a non-character, like Cid. (Cid/Edea's relationship is also dropped in out of nowhere and goes nowhere, like many other things about FFVIII's plot - but maybe I can save the plot discussion for a different section.)

Ultimecia - just kidding.

CHARACTER RANKING: Laguna >>> Squall > Seifer > Zell > Selphie > Rinoa > Irvine > Quistis > Edea

You might not even remember this by now but you chose the name "Griever" for that GF. It was the name you picked for the lion on Squall's chain when Rinoa asked about it.

Yeah, I realized this after looking on Wiki for the names of the final boss tracks. I utterly forgot about that sequence in part because it was such a non sequitur and, let's be real, because I played it like months ago...

They're good tracks, but I was always casting something, and the volume is kind of set so that the spells are way noisier than regular attacks, so I didn't hear it as much! These tracks aren't super-catchy at the beginning so that also made me appreciate them a little less. They are really nice, though.

How do you feel about Seifer finding his redemption off screen through fishing?

This was my favorite scene of the ending! Raijin and Fujin are ride-or-die. It's unfortunate that Seifer's final in-game dialogue and whatever were forgettable - I think he could have been a lot better realized - but the Raijin/Fujin-Odin-Gilgamesh final sequence was great, and I absolutely loved this scene - how you could see the latent frustration in his eyes slowly go away.

So I decided not to grind or buff up on any more. There's no point in conserving stuff at this point, I guess. After refining a hundred mega-elixirs, I'm pretty sure we'll be fine.

So we blast through Ultimecia's Castle from front to back with turbo mode and running from battles in about a minute and a half, save at the endpoint, re-junction slightly, and off we go.

Ultimecia has some exotik, futuristik akcenting going on with the dialogue, though her fashion sense is definitely still very FF-ish. She immediately goes into the you-will-pay speech, and then the battle begins.

It's no surprise that a FF final boss has a bunch of different phases! Phase 1, she appears as she does in the cutscene. She doesn't have any particularly strong attacks other than one Gravitja-esque move that slices off a bunch of HP. I think it bases the damage off the human and not the GF, so unfortunately, this also means bye-bye to Cereberus. Bio poisons Zell at one point, which is a little annoying, but I have Esuna for that. The more annoying part is that I start with Squall/Zell/Selphie first, which means I have to wait for Selphie to get blown away, and then Quistis, before Rinoa finally joins the fray. And even more annoying, she keeps casting Dispel, so my buffs aren't very useful. On the other hand, she's the only phase where you can Scan her actual HP, and the only one on which Demi works.

The first phase is short enough, and then she summons her GF, Griever. There's been zero buildup to this "strongest GF" lore, unfortunately, but still, it's a cool sight. It is actually even weaker than Ultimecia, other than also using that Gravitja-esque move. More importantly, Griever (and no subsequent phase!) does not cast Dispel, so I'm able to hit up everyone with Triple, Haste, and Shell/Protect (though the latter don't seem that useful). These first two phases are dominated by triple-Flare attacks. At some point, I believe Griever starts blowing away some of my spells, but he goes down relatively quickly, especially since Squall triple-casts Holy a few times, which is about two-and-a-half times as strong as Flare.

Her breather complete, Ultimecia rejoins the fray by junctioning herself into Griever. The resulting creature is not particularly strong, even though after a while I realize she also has this little Helix thing. I'm down to my last Meltdown after casting it on everyone. After a while, I decide that maintaining high max HP isn't that useful, since no attack will really care about 9999 max versus like 8000, so I begin to be more liberal with Meteor. The revivified Helix things seem to be annoyingly immune to Meltdown, and Ultigrevia annoyingly has tons and tons of HP... meaning that I start running low on my Flares. She also absorbs Holy. Weirdly, I realize at some point that Water is really strong against her. Go figure, it hits for 2000 each. She eventually goes down to that.

It's actually slightly believable that she'd only be three phases; however, I've yet to be hit by Fallen One/Heartless Angel/what-have-you - and Ultimecia's fourth form, like FFVI's final villain or Freeza, is a reprisal of her first - but with no face. This is the coolest-looking form by a fair margin, and she confirms she is the final form by beginning the battle with this game's version of the reduce-to-1 attack, Hell's Judgment. Still equipped with Mega-Elixirs, this isn't an issue. However, I start really getting worried about my spell stock here. While I'm not scared at all in theory about her damaging moves, she starts blowing away my Haste and Flare and some other damaging spells. I'm down to using some Fire/Ice/Thunder3 attacks on her. Squall has Draw equipped instead of Item, so he's able to draw her Holy and triple-cast that when alive.

This final phase might be the longest grind, and at some point - after a long while of Ultimecia just tanking everything, and perhaps when she starts talking some stuff about time compression and "look at your past" or whatever - I realize (again) that it has multiple pieces! Ultimecia's groin area contains a secondary enemy. I finally use my last Meltdown on that and, tired of everything, start dispensing some Meteors as well. Ultimecia starts to break down, and without a ton of directly targeted attacks, the bottom half actually goes away.

Ultimecia is in the middle of a sentence when Zell casts the decisive triple-Ice3, and she explodes fairly satisfyingly (though not particularly finally compared to the previous form).

All the characters except Squall start running around in the void, attempting to get together to return in time. Squall gets a little lost but winds up about ten years ago in Edea's orphanage. Ultimecia's dying body bequeaths her strong to Edea there, and Squall gives Edea the ideas of SeeD and Garden. I suppose this means that Ultimecia essentially just jumps from Rinoa to the future to Edea for all eternity? In any case, it is kind of nice to see the loop closed.

Squall gets a rather bizarre, tedious recap of scenes involving Rinoa before Rinoa finally finds him. This is all rather uninteresting, but "Eyes On Me" plays throughout, making it a lot better. The final scenes pre-credits show us Laguna's betrothal (wedding?) to Raine and his visiting her grave. And then the credits take us to a party at Balamb Garden, where we see Rinoa and Squall are both alive and well.

I believe that's a wrap!

found a groove. i think i kind of answered my own question by complaining so much about the speed this fucker went at. the spell i hadn't yet used, that was more important than protect or shell or arguably even triple: haste

wound up junctioning auto-haste to rinoa. this was incredibly useful since she would always be the one to perish, due to not beinn able to junction defend. she also had auto-protect.

i still used cerberus to open the battle, but next order of business was getting haste on everyone. this ensured that someone would always be ready with the mega-elixir after meteor (and before the 9998 attack came); that squall and zell could defend soon after the 9998 attack (and be ready before gravitaj, and especially the terra break); and that zell could full-life rinoa right after terra break; and that if zell were dead, the other two could life + megalixir after light pillar. between these, whenever there was time, i'd buff up any revivified dead people with haste and then triple, and hit him with triple-ultima/flare/meteor/limit break if appropriate.

good god this dude had a lot of HP. i went through all 40 of my ultimas and probably 60 flares, 40 meteors. this even wound up causing me issues since squall's max HP eventually dropped below 9999, meaning he couldn't be saved from the 9998 attack anymore (this happened to rinoa in previous runs when meteor went below 97, so i plonly triple-cast it once with her). but that was shortly before omega weapon finally went down.

victory! i don't know where i can draw dozens of meteor/ultima now (no one went into the battle with draw junctioned), but hey we did it. think it's time to move on to ultimecia herself!
