Question for those with 8 on 3DS. Does the game use the extra RAM like Smash 3DS and the later MH games?
You can find out if the system reboots when exiting the game via the home button IIRC.

No, it doesn't. The only extra thing it uses is the right C stick.

That would be on New 3DS. I assume you may have only played it on one then. I meant to clarify that if it does on a normal 3DS.
I would also assume that on a New 3DS, those games would behave like regular games and just boot up and exit as normal. Doesn't the New 3DS have more RAM dedicated to games than the regular one?

Not actually that important
How does VIII compare to the PS2 version of the game? Performance/gfx, also anything new has been added?
Will they touch up the localization?

Here's a YouTube video with a graphics comparison. Key differences include a faster battle speed option, new party members, visible enemies on the field, photography and other bits and pieces.
I'd imagine there will be some extra localization work done, maybe a bit of polishing up as well, given that there's extra content in the game. What with the new party members and all that.
Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again.
Jobs and grinding.
How much grinding? I thought IX was abit too much.

The grind in IX sucked because there wasn't much of a story or interesting characters.
