I get to the Seifer fight. Odin shows up like he's about to solo Seifert, but then some other GF shows up and slices Odin..... then I fight Seifer and this ahole who just killed Odin is now on my team and takes out Seifer for me.... and then Seifer kidnaps Rinoa and nobody acknowledges wtf just happened.

So is Odin dead? That'd be fine, since he's annoying af when I'm trying to AP farm.

Who is this new GF?

Did Seifer actually fuck Rinoa?

Gilgamesh sucks. I think you can keep Odin if you go get it after that battle, though. Been a long time since I played.

Theres really no point in making the details so sketchy if they didnt fuck. The game goes out of its way to allude to it.

Besides if they didnt fuck then why even make it a point to allude so much to it?

Im sure squalls banged plenty of girls, its sort of what you do around that age.

You have to read the menus for backstory. For years I didn't understand why nobody could use a phone in that game.

Gilgamesh. Basically he's a sword hunter/collector. Made his debut as a sort of mid-boss in Final Fantasy 5, shows up again in 8 and again in 12.

So, youll have to accept that there was an entire summer that Rinoa saw Seifer as a boyfriend and does not want to bring up the details. I dont know of many cases, especially at their age, that that doesnt mean fucking.

And imagine the general age group the games aimed at and it seems logical to leave it a lil open so older audiences can assume while you never said it.

But officially they never deny it either. She just tells Squall to not be jealous of Seifer which again strongly assumes sex.

Omg is there actual inception in this game? Did Squall just tell past-Edea to create Garden and SeeD?

Lit. Also, roll credits, so I guess I beat it. Pretty fun.

Honestly, FF8 is a game where the story is not the greatest and has some dumb plot twists, but I end up enjoying the actual playthrough of it.

It used to be the red headed step child of the Final Fantasy series but I think over the years many fans have come around to it.

People have 13 and 15 to hate on now. I'm downloading zodiac age now bc I actually know nothing about 12. I at least had an idea of what to expect with 8.

I think the fact that you can break FF8 so easily makes it really good. Its fun to do a run when you are destroying everything.

Nothing can make the plot of that game "good". I'd say its on par with 15 for worst Final Fantasy main series story. Mainly because it follows the same formula... introduce bad guy and then never show him, or talk about him for most of the rest of the game.

To me the only similarities between the stories of 12 and 15 is that they're both clearly unfinished. I honestly feel that the story of 12, or rather the potential of what that story could have been is one of the strrongest aspects of the game. It's certainly more interesting than the gameplay.

No... it isn't. I'm not saying that it couldn't have been top tier. It had decent characters, a beautiful world and a lot of great backstory, but the execution is what made the game so shit. WWE's Paul Heyman once said that his whole purpose after Brock beat Taker at Wrestlemania was to remind you, the viewer that his client beat the Undertakers undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. To drive home that point, so it was the one thing you remembered after the show went off the air.

Vaan, starts out by wanting to get revenge for the death of his brother(which in context is never actually shown to Vaan, so how would he know about his brothers death, considering that he is a street thief) and it just fades less than a 1/4 way through the story after finding out that Basch didn't kill his brother. In fact, I don't remember it being mentioned again after that point. If anything his anger should have increased and gotten transferred to Vayne and Galbranth, but it wasn't.

Ashe overall has a great story, but it needed to be shown on screen. Her backstory needed to be treated like Lagunas in FF8. Every time there was a major break in the games story(like for example when Vaan gets sent to prison) there needed to be a cut to her and her personal guards(I would pick Biggs and Wedge, since its a mainstay in the series) and show flashbacks of her escaping the palace, her setting up a revolt in random towns and cities within the country.

The only one that had decent story coverage was Basch. Everyone else had a shoehorned story for the sake of "we have to give them some sort of backstory". Even Balthiers backstory wasn't visited until the last couple hours of the game, and that was more like "surprise its a Balthier backstory".

Zodiac age fixed some of the gameplay issues the original had, but not the story, which is the driving force of any Final Fantasy game.

I agree with this. Breaking the junction system and cards was awesome. I upgraded Squall's weapon from the basic one straight to the 2nd best one before the first mission and made it so the post-Edea cutscene made no sense because her limit attack thing was Ice based and I was already at 90% absorption of all elements so it should have healed me, plus I never had to use magic because my normal attacks were doing 3-5k damage to everything and healing me for the same amount (unless enemies resisted Drain). That was fun as fuck. Looking back though, the story was just utterly asinine at pretty much every point. I guess I just kinda dismissed that when I first played it.
