VIII is my favorite Final Fantasy game by a gigalightyear but I have to respect the magnitude of VIIs greatness because it is undeniably also a sick frickin' game. It's just that I like VIII more, simple as.

And I feel the exact same but opposite. I like 8 it's sick but I find 7 to in my top 5 for sure. Let the ff6 and 9 gays seethe, all pre psx ff fans are welcome.
I never really understood the hate for IX. The atmosphere feels very cartoon compared to VII and VIII, and the game felt like an obvious homage to the earlier entries in its simplicity, but I also feel that IX is undeniably also a sick frickin' game, simple as.
It's just slow. SLOOOOOOOOOOOW. And the characters are not as conflicted as ff7 or 8 or even ff6 for that matter. Ff9 is like the perfect ending to psx ff. Goes back to basics while evolving the new aesthetics. One LOOOOOONG ASS FRICKING GAME to set off the psx final fantasies and make you never want to play another one again....
>TLDR
I guess if you like generic jrpg fantasy ff9 will keep on your boner up for over 4 hours
I do understand the criticism of it being long and slow, but as for the characters not being as conflicted I just can't agree when the little homie in picrel exists. Vivi is arguably one of the most loveable characters in fiction and his death is just the worst thing ever. And then you have the part where Alexandria is under attack and Eiko summons the Holy Judgment and dives off the airship. That part just wrecks me. I should have included IX in my OP tbh.
I understand where you are coming from but, both ff7/8 portage are amnesiatic messes that have to come to grips with reality and themselves before they can be the hero they need to be.

ff8 is easily the best ff game, only 6 comes close, 7 aint far behind
kino taste
absolutely patrician
Its dieselpunk vs whatever punk 8 was. Frutiger aero? That bright shiny future "we run everything on plastic imacs and tomagatchis" versus that "we run the whole planet on dirtbike motors and rusted cans of mountain dew" vision. Combination of that and 7 being low poly early playstation launch games everywhere and 8 being the best ps1 could get. 7 walked so 8 could run I guess and then everyone stepped back and said "7 was faster", no, just no.
Is there a way to ban this autistic FFVIII idiot who does nothing but post this shit?
Why do you think it's just one person? VIII is king and adored by many
>VIII is king and adored by many
Maybe in a psych ward
If the psych ward is where they keep those high IQ autist savants like that group from Star Trek then yes indeed.
Frick I recognize this reference... the frickers from ds9 with bashir that wanted to surrender to the dominion as a beat bet
Anyway, 8 is still fricking garbage
Your IQ is just too low to comprehend it, and that's okay.
It's funny because this is the VIII tard meme taken to the extreme and I love it. VIII will always be my favorite.
that's exactly what he wants. To rile up enough ate to get FF8 threads banned on sight for "spam". It's a massive false flag and it's pathetic
I dont want to seem like a Ganker tard, but consider taking your meds
you think you're smart but you really aren't
It's not him. That guy hates 7 and 9 unlike this OP.
same,FF8 is amazing.
queen amidala lookin fine
3D was a mistake for the series, should have always been 2D and the PSX+ games are a travesty to the franchise. This is why Dragons Quest always has and always will be better.
I have never wanted to strangle a woman more in my life than Rinoa.

>getting panties twisted because the single worst translated line in the game
The only bad thing about 8 is the Ragnarok

I like everything about this game. Everything! ...except going to space. frick space! thats some cecil bull shit there.
The space parts are fun though
I don't really like any of them but their music is god tier and I like FFVIII aesthetic and its concept
FF8 would've been interesting to see on the Dreamcast and Cube, the two 6th gens that really evoke that aesthetic.
consoles dont really have a definitive aesthetic you fricking moron unless you count things like the polygon jitters of PS1 an aesthetic.
That's a fine opinion. But ff7 is obv the superior game both in battle system, character, plot. Ff8 is better graphics, the goat mini game, goat sandbox mechanics.
Finished recently, great game in my opinion. Besides its flaws, once it clicks and you understand the plot, and more generally the game, coming full circle, it's nothing short of genius.
I think though that a lot of the more controversial things about this game are due people who never played the game parroting the opinions posted on the internet by other people who never played the game, kinda like how it happens with gaming journos, who we know don't actually play the games and the normies who don't play those games themselves form their opinions after those of the formers.
Because, really, I see a lot of complaints about the plot but it really doesn't get worse than your standard jrpg, so it's actually bizarre people single out this specific game for this kind of criticism.
