why is Rinoa shown twice on this pic?
>tried to make R=U joke
>too stupid to know Edea isn't Ultimecia
pottery
confused her with Laguna
>it’s time to replay the greatest rpg ever made
I just did. Also
>rare achievement unlocked
>finish the game
>only 2.78% of gamers achieved this
>Less people have killed 1000 enemies than finished the game
Huh. Am I underestimating how much a 1000 enemies are in a JRPG or does no one kill enemies because the moronic level scaling?
nobody kills enemies because you can get enc-none extremely early in the game
>not junctioning 100 deaths to ST-ATK-J to one-hit kill almost everything for rapid levelling no matter what level you're at.
XP to level is always 1000, so you can level every encounter on the Island Closest to Hell.
Lots of useful drawpoints there.
It's like a 3-4 hour grind at 3X speed in one particular forest that'll consisting give you a 3 enemy encounter.
RPG "achievements" are awful.
I could boot up an old save on my PS2 or ps3 and see how many encounters my battle meter recorded at the end. I'm confident it would be under 1000.
I've got a save file at 40hrs that shows 300 encounters.
At the very least that's including the Tonberry King G.F. that required 20-ish consecutive tonberry kills to get, which was B.S.
Playing the HD remaster at 3x Speed, I couldn't believe I ever did it before.
I love the game, but the input lag in the menu is horrendous compared to the original PC or PSX versions. I've beaten FF8 a couple hundred times, but the lag is making it a chore in the remaster.
Why can't anyone do remasters right?
Not the greatest, but still one of my favorites.
>achievements
Stay gay.
he doesn't have to give a frick about achievements to say people aren't finishing the game, achievement stats are just evidence of it
>people need to prove they finished a game.
Really?
The achievement is automatically logged when you beat it. It's not like you have to call Valve and take credit.
That said, I'd bet most remaster owners have beat the game countless times on PC and PSX already before they bought it.
This. I've played FFX and X-2 a bunch of times on ps2. I got the HD Remaster but haven't bothered to complete it
nice coincidence, listening to this right now

R = U
I know Square has gone out and denied this, but this seems like pretty compelling evidence. Is there any actual reason to deny it, it seems like it makes the story more interesting/tragic?
Griever is explicitly junctioned from Squall's mind, which is the strongest GF, again, in his mind. The argument that only Rinoa and Squall about Griever is irrelevant because no one else also knows Edea having Alexander in her mind because when you try to draw from her, its name is always known. Tldr gameplay mechanic integrated to the plot.
Ultimecia not knowing Squall because of amnesia is too convenient of a reason because nothing in the game implies this (to be fair, nothing denies it either).
The strongest hint on who Ultimecia is one of her starting dialogue which roughly "So you'te the legendary SeeD destined to face me?". Ultimecia came from the future. From this we can infer that somehow Ultimecia was born as or going to become Sorceress, and there's a prophecy (and/or historic record based on our exploit against Edea and Adel) that SeeD is going to fight Ultimecia. People persecuted her for it ("Return to me my childhood" or somethint along that line), and in her rage she becomes Ultimecia. Ironically it sets in stone her destiny because later she transfers her power to Edea, Edea raises Squall and co to fight her, the history/prophecy is written, and the time loop is made.
Ultimecia making as if the orphanage is an important place for her is precisely because it's important to Edea (and by extension the heroes) and she knows it from her time inside Edea.
>utter headcanon cope
>I know Square has gone out and denied this
False.
>"Kitase later clarified that he cannot completely rule out the theory as he did not know the intention of the other two scriptwriters (Nojima and Nomura)."
I don't really care what people say, this is my canon. It takes the game to another level and a lot more
>I know Square has gone out and denied this
They actually took it back and the theory is open again. I guess they also realized that it elevates the story and has little to no downsides.
.
>I don't care what the developers themselves have to say, my headcanon matters more
This is why FF8 fanboys are some of the worst in the FF fandom.
FF7 fanboys believe that a remake that hits the same story beats isn't a remake but a sequel, and they REEEEEEEEE about it constantly.
>does the same pose
>THEY MUST BE THE SAME PERSON
god, R=U gays defending that debunked theory are a whole level of stupid
>this moronic autismo is still seething in every FF8 thread
kek, but see this
and die from cope.
I have never played this but I bought it
Anything I should know?
Learn to turn cards into magic early. Saves you a lot of hassle
you got memed hardcore and may not like it, its a divisive game
but if you end up liking it, its definitely kino from a better time.
and also start learning how draw works right away + the cards system
dont minmax
I'm on the last stretch of my FF9 playthrough, I did everything and grinded to lvl 99, was fun as breasts. I'm thinking about doing FF8 next since I don't remember much about the game, is it true that if you grind to max level the game becomes impossible to beat?
Its not impossible or even that hard but you get your powerups from spells so you need to keep pace with it I think
>impossible
Black person...holy frick I hate you zoomers so much
the only person i've known that was enjoying this shit was a moronic girl who liked quiefing in front of my buddies.
Buy an ad
But I just finished FFX again the other day
>Squall meets his father
>Has nothing to say to him
I fricking hate this trope
He doesn't even know his father's name.
Just like real life.
I didn't know you were playing Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land anon, maybe put this in your OP next time so there's no confusion.
I tried, I got the re-release on PC and it's a complete and utter pile of shit, it's so fricking lazy that I want to strangle Square Enix as a physical entity.
The biggest issue is the menu speed. Everything else can be modded like the original release, or not at all like the PSX version.
yooo there are cool mods now? I got it on switch and never had the motivation to replay it because of how it looked
Oh shit is it time to replay Rhapsody a Musical Adventure already? My how time flies, thanks for the heads up OP.
>Replay
You sad idiot.
Ifrit is pretty hot_ in this one
>forced to play the shitty card game just to make the rest of the game playable
Unless you plan on Hero-spamming Omega Weapon, the card game is unnecessary. I skip it and am pretty minmaxed.
That's not FF8.
Oh wait, it is.
Nevermind!
