opening was lame
the first part of the game from the demo was based
everything after that was lame
That opening fricking sucks and I've always hated it.
I had a friend who was obsessed with playing that stupid. fricking. intro.
And it wasn't until years later I even understood the context of that swordfight they're having.
Those idiots were just sparring?
Oh, and, Seifer never becomes interesting. Ever.
This.
I agree with this.
It gave me the impression that:
>Seifer and Squall have a big rivalry, maybe even for the attention of Rinoa
>Seifer is big
>Squall will end up killing him, or pretty close to it
but nope Seifer is pretty small in the grand scheme of the game.
Rinoa was always a prostitute. Squall was doomed to be a cuck.
The game itself was wonderful.
Rinoprostitute loves Seifer's big wiener. Squall's tiny wiener can't satisfy her.
>That opening fricking sucks and I've always hated it.
This. In retrospect, it really just seems like they were trying to create a flashy, FMV attract mode with no actual direction or focus, especially compared to the openings of VII and IX.
FFVII feels like Square making the most of a new platform with minimal experience but tons of ambition, and FFIX feels like Square taking a victory lap and showing off everything they'd perfected about making FF games and programming for the PS1.
But FFVIII just feels like they took a shit in a box and shook it up before handing it to you. Like they had some character and plot ideas kicking around and some neat visual concepts, but the ambition that is so present in 7 and 9 just feels completely absent in 8. Maybe they didn't know quite what to do after 7's ridiculous success, or maybe they just needed a break, but goddamn, it's obvious they needed SOMETHING other than what they had.
if all of ff8 felt like the demo then it would've been great
I've heard people say this a lot, but I played the demo after having played the original, and I think the only reason people feel that way is because the demo had no context. In context, it's dumb, and playing the demo isolated after the fact doesn't really do much to dissuade you of the notion.
It's just that any part of the game can be made to seem better if you have the privilege of being unaware of the actual narrative and character development.
i have no idea what your trying to say anon but the ff8 demo was the ff8 you wanted while ff8 was the ff8 you had at home
I'm saying there was actually no appreciable difference between the demo and the game itself. It's just that the demo was out of context and untainted so it was easier to imagine it as part of a better whole. Playing the demo was like getting a slice of pepperoni and imagining it as a sneak peak of an amazing supreme pizza, but when you finally got the whole game, it was just a pizza box filled with turds and pepperoni.
FF8's problem isn't the individual setpieces or vignettes; many of those hold up perfectly fine in a vacuum. The way FF8 fricks everything up is with the overall cohesion of the plot, characters, and settings, or rather, the lack thereof. Also, the demo didn't really let you play long enough for you to grasp how utterly shallow the combat system was. You truly don't realize how bad FF8 is until every single aspect of it is assaulting you in concert.
>the demo was out of context and untainted so it was easier to imagine it as part of a better whole
this, especially coming off of FF7.
You sound like a very fragile person.
Honestly felt like they put all their effort into polishing the content seen in the demo, then the rest of the game was just rushed or half-assed. Guess they figure they'd be carried by NO REFUNDS.
Zoomer here, it was kino. I bought the game from a Goodwill around 8 years ago and thought it was badass. Quistis is hot also.
I like the lyrics
>REAL GAY REAL GAY SISSY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY SISSY GAY GAY BUTT SEX GLORY HOLE BAAAAAAALLS TEABAG
No, do not just quote Spoony shit verbatim.
It wasn't funny enough then, it hasn't become funnier since.
Quoting who? I'm just translating the latin into english.
spoony won
based
Great intro. Great game.
Seifer has the most powerful autism out of any video game character
hes called seifer because hes hard to understand
He's called Seifer because the only thing safe in the woods is the trees
???
Why did the white man make the Brazilians cut down their own forests
>zoomers can't play FF8 in 2024
I don't get the joke. Is OP implying that they're too stupid to figure out how? Because if so, then that's hilarious and this thread is based.
>zoomers can't play FF8 in 2024
I'm pretty sure they can. You, on the other hand, will never be able to play FF8 in 1999 ever again.
>I'm pretty sure they can. You, on the other hand, will never be able to play FF8 in 1999 ever again.
i cri everytime..
you don't know that, I've read a bunch of manga where people die then go back in time to when they were kids but with all their memories
Anon, those manga are based on light novels written by depressed middle-aged men who want to go back for an audience of depressed middle-aged men who want to go back.
The Sega syndrome. Autism, depression, inability to enjoy good things, always thinking about what could've been (what if Sega went with Model 1 for Saturn, would my life been successful then?).
uhh, I read one where the guy coincidentally had 40 years of stock exchange data perfectly memorized right down to the second even from when he was a child
I would just be a useless piece of shit for 25 years and then buy all the bitcoins
Cool except Squall's rivalry with Seifer is one of the major disappointments in the game. It doesn't go anywhere, Seifer just turns into a good guy sorta, also the part where he's Rinoa's ex-bf or whatever is fricking weird, it's like the japs were like yeah it's the virgin loner vs the chad sex-haver. FF8 is so embarassing
Rinoa is shit. SHIT.
this. having the main character simping 3 discs for such a shitty heroine ruined the whole game for me.
I agree but he doesnt really start simping until disk 3.
and the whole time the primo waifu is trying in vain to get his attention
Why you'd want to be with the spoiled b***h who got pumped and dumped by your bully instead of just fricking the hot teacher is lost on me.
why didn't squall just drink a potion to make the wound go away
>gay, gay, sissy gay, gay
If you know the reference, I salute you.
> zoomers will never understand
> Uses kino
You a zoomer? You'll never understand it since you weren't around on release when it came out.
Netorare Fantasy
It was pretty obvious it want meant to open with a Laguna Dream segment, followed by Squall waking up with Ellone in the room.
The first Laguna segment even has the characters saying "Not Again", like they've experienced this before.
Makes sense actually. I always thought the beginning of that game was weird compared to the rest of the franchise. It had a sudden drop off from an exciting opening which FF is usually known for, and then you suddenly everything is tame until Dollet. Compare the others:
>FFVI: Raiding a town to find an esper, your comrades are killed in the process, and you get saved by a new companion to escape town. Things are chill until Kefka comes knocking on Edgar's door.
>FFVII: You commit an act of terrorism by blowing up a significant reactor that has been a great aspect of everyone's lives including Cloud's group...until you realize the truth and need to stop Shinra. It ends in success and things chill after this until the next bombing.
>FFIX: One group plans to kidnap the princess in the biggest event of the year, one boy does whatever he can to get into the biggest event, the kingdom reacts to these events, leads to an exciting ending for the act, the kidnapping, and setting up the rest of the game. It's chill until the forest escape.
>FFX: Square shows off an exciting alternative version of football while the main antagonist destroys his town and now Tidus needs to escape. Everything is chill for awhile after this.
>FFVIII: After a flashy sparring match....Squall wakes up, goes to class, and takes on a easy assignment in a cave. The game starts chill until Dollet
>kino
Back in the day we just said 'epic".
"uber"
Crazy to think that for like 10 years there the entire gaming community was using nazi slang.
It's German for "very".
Noone said epic in 1999
going from ff7 to this piece of shit was surreal. i think i gave it 1 hour before turning it off
Zoomers know very well how moviegames work.
Considering zoomers don't know what film grain is and seem to think a phone screen is the default standard of video, I'm going to say 'no'.
>Zoomers playing old RPG's
Pffft. They don't have the attention span or patience for that. The /vr/ zoomers are a tiny minority among their peers.
Good thing the remaster has new """features""" such as maxing out all your stats or acquiring all magic with the push of a button to "fix all the dated bad design" so it makes it playable for them
FF8 is the greatest FF game. It was the peak of franchise.
Yep. It all went to hell once this weird chibishit IX rolled out. Strongly homosexual X was the last game that still had some Final Fantasy flavor.
> kino
Op you are a Zoomer.
people have been saying kino since the 70s
No anon, you're thinking about keno.
>brother was convinced that he cracked the code and would make millions off keno
>he didn't
What are some kino keno video games? I don't think I've ever even seen one.
Vegas Dream.
>vegas
>cute girls
either the millionaire section of vegas or it literally is a vegas dream
I have no idea what is even going on it's just random shit that makes no sense and isn't cool either.
>Uses 'Kino' and 'Zoomer' in the same breath
The 6th gen rule was a mistake. This board is plagued with you insincere Zoom Zooms.
>it's hot
>my face hurts
>this gunblade is too loud
>I wish I was at school playing tetramaster
I like the look of total indignation on his face
>dude Seifer wtf man! we said no facies! if this leaves a scar my mom is going to kill me!
True. Too bad the rest of the game was shit.
I prefer the young hag
