Sure, it was a fun romp once you figured out how to break it. Not a fan of how it forcibly unequipped your GF serious over and over though

I have fond memories of it, but also hardly recall what actually happened in the plot. The environments and music were cool. Triple Triad as well.

it makes you wonder what the intended player power curve was lol. because good god was it the easiest game ever to abandon that curve.

like what if we were actually just intended to one-shot a bunch of bosses?

Underrated. I remember hating it back when it came out but I enjoyed it much more when I replayed it recently. I missed a lot of the themes and plot points when I played it as a kid. Also I think the localization wasnt great (from what ive read) which made squall seem like a bigger drag than he was actually meant to be

That game is great for about 3/4 of the story and then just completely falls apart at the end. Like, I have played through it at least half a dozen times but I always lose interest by the final dungeon. I've only seen it through to the end once (and vaguely remember it having a good ending)

If you get rid of the draw system and ignore the whole convenient amnesia thing the game is actually pretty good. I enjoyed FF8 and playing through Theatrhythm has made me want to do another playthrough of 8.

The music is awesome.

I think if they had just focused on Edea being the big baddie the entire game could have been fine. It was the introduction of the other villains that caused most of the issues I had with the game. Coupled with the leveling system.

Imo it was.the big twist with the orphanage that caused the issues with the plot.

Awesome music and Triple Triad is very fun too. The main complaint is how annoying the Draw & Junction systems are-- and screw enemies that level up too.

At one time, I would say Triple Triad was the best part of the game. But at a certain point, the overabundance of rules make it a hassle to play.

Honestly, I dislike Xenogears more than 8. But that's more because I couldn't find my way around Xenogears. The compass system is confusing and having to spin the map around to try and find the 1 pathway that leads out of the area when you have other stuff blocking the camera is frustrating.

Xenogears is no where close to being as bad as FF8.

On the one hand I shouldn't have to need to religiously follow a guide 25 years after the game came out in order to be able to break the game and make it remotely playable.

On the other hand, it was pretty immensely satisfying that my characters were level 15 when I beat the game. And having no-encounter for a ps1 era jrpg with their frequent encounter rates meant that I could literally walk the entire world map or dungeon without every facing a battle.

But it's still just a minigame masquerading as a jrpg. Triple Triad can be fun sure, but anything besides normal rules is not fun. And I don't even bother playing unless it's to get those one-in-a-million cards.

When I first played FF 8 I didn't even beat it, got stuck on disc 3 and then just skipped to FF 9 which was an initial relief at being a regular jrpg with no fucking level scaling. But those battle load times are inexcusable and really bring the game down since that's a core part of a video game, and anyone saying otherwise is in denial.

And I loved FF 8's silent movie romance theme, if only it was improved it could be really good

This I concur with. Amidst the mind-numbing drudgery and nonsensical bullshit plot, Selfie shone brightly as the best thing about the game. Every time I thought the game had finally pissed me off to the point I could drop it, I told myself
