I for once hope this squizo anon is successful. As long as we keep the zeitgeist that ff8 is bad, the less chances for a modern remake like ff7 we are going to get.
it's crazy how we will never see something even close to this ever again

i was just answering that other poster but yeah basically.
PS2 was such a graphical improvement above the PS1 and it had games. Many up and coming studios were releasing make it or break it titles and a LOT of companies went bust or absolved.
These days, if its not an established franchise, making a game now is way riskier and takes more effort and there is no guarantees of success.
A PS1 or PS2 game wasn't as expensive to produce to try break into the industry.
>contrarian
8 is one of the best games released in the era, lasting up through X, after which Final Fantasy lost favor among the people because 11 was a shitty fricking moron MMO and 12 was trash.
No, the contrarian take is to pretend the piece of shit 9 was anything but filler.
>shit combat >moronic as frick story >convoluted as frick >no definitive proper conclusion
basically, yes. its the FF15 of the PS1 FF games. FF7 and FF9 both were feature complete and had satisfying worlds, characters and definitive stories.
FF8? The complete opposite.
he nearly dies from exhaustion in a space outside of time and Rinoa finally willingly uses her magic to save him, not sure what else you'd need to understand
It was a really upbeat ending. Everyone survived (though if you didn't watch the post-credits part you'd assume Squall got stuck in compressed time and Rinoa was insane) and they had a big buffet at the garden, with character quirks on display. Seifer loosened up and went fishing with Raijin and Fujin. Ellone, Ward, Kiros, and Laguna all met at Raine's grave.
8 was good but only if you played it the way you were supposed to play it >Get the no encounters >play card games for cards >use the card mod to get items >refine items into magic >junction magic to make characters strong even though you have not fought many battles
because the game scales with you, you are now able to stomp everything
Not really FF XV was and Will be forever the biggest and most anticipated Final Fantasy title EVER,heck I dare to say that most people interested in the Game didnt play It!
Too many years too much hype too many changes.
We Will never seen anything quite like FF XV EVER AGAIN.
Compare XIII or XVI to XV,the frick right?
The really tried to make It work,It was japanese nippon autism at its finest.
i love da schitzo who has been making hourly ff8 threads for the past 3 years
the psyop is working
I for once hope this squizo anon is successful. As long as we keep the zeitgeist that ff8 is bad, the less chances for a modern remake like ff7 we are going to get.
you do know that 8 already got passed over for the remake treatment right? they're already working on the ff9 remake
for the same reason 8 sold so well: the previous game was good, also first game on a new console generation
clearly not good enough for 10 to outsell 8, even with the added help of a new console generation. CHOP
because unlike consoles today, it had games the same day it came out. FFX was one of them.

the PS2 was released a year before X came out and during Christmas in North America
easy: it didn't. same energy as pic related
They're only remaking the shitty entries. FF8 is safe.
None of those titles in that list were available at launch.
you have shit taste
it's the best jrpg ever made
FF8 is the best Final Fantasy game. Is FF15 also the best Final Fantasy game? I doubt it.
FF 8 is a disaster compared to what came before and after it (7 and 8) but a masterpiece compared to 13 and 15
Imagine being this contrarian

Awful opinions all around
Says the homosexual who actually likes 9 despite it being a filler project shat out solely because 10 was taking so long to complete.
Why are 8tards so angry? Is it because they know they're wrong

How did 8 end anyway? With Squall having an acid trip?
No one knows because no one cared to finish it

It ruined the series rep and 9 sold less because of it, despite being objectively superior.
then why did 10 outsell 9? 10 also never managed to outsell 8 in its original run 🙂
Because 9 was good. People expected the next one to be good as well
because 9 looked like shit and played like shit
This cope has been debunked countless times
Go look at the sales of 9's remaster compared to other FF remasters
People hated the furgay artstyle
is this the same guy making shit up and saying 8 outsold 10? the shitty ff9 remaster sold more than the shitty ff8 remaster
8 was good but only if you played it the way you were supposed to play it

What even is the best ff game
Probably 7 or 10 but 12 is cool....but it's job system kinda sucks
For me it goes 9 then 10 then 7 then 8 but I enjoyed playing all of them.
world of final fantasy 2 beta tester here
it's world of final fantasy 2
At least FF15 has a better version
Easily the worst game in the series.
...until 13 came out, there fixed it for you buddy
I realised that people who hate VIII are the same mongoloids who (pretend to) like VI and IX
False I liked both 8 and 9
No, you don't.
But the best ff are 8 and 6, anon. Third place goes to 5.

Nah. Cyberpunk was a complete and more recent repeat of the same phenomenon.
It was shit
Versus was going to be shit
Verum Rex will undoubtedly be turboshit
Verum Rex will be certified Nomura kino
