May be about time to double dip... I still have my FF8 copy I can just pop into a PS1 emu (sold my FF7, without regret... but I couldn't bring myself to sell FF8) but I might get it on steam for convenience.
Out of curiosity, does the PC version support the pocketstation segment of the game?
Yes it does
TY, something I was always curious about messing with to the point of back in the day I contemplated importing a pocket station just for it. A few other NA games had pocketstation support as well... wonder why Sony never released it.
Not the biggest fan of FF8 or Squall, but I still jam away to that Chocobo theme.

Guess I'll be the first negative nacy
15 years of an overly convuluted plot, bad gameplay mechanics, and an overall mediocre game. For what it did right (music, triple triad) it doesn't offset the dumb it had. FF8 is in the bottom 3 mainline FF games with FF2 and original FF14.
My favourite Chocobo theme is probably Final Fantasy IV Advance's version of Black Chocobo (Samba de Chocobo!). It's amazing.It is possibly the best Chocobo theme... Mambo de Chocobo (FF5) might be better. FF9's wasn't too bad either. As much as FF6 is my favorite FF, Techno de Chocobo was rather lack luster in retrospect.

Aside from FF9, what modern (PS1+ era) FF game hasn't had a convoluted plot?
At least I think we can all agree that FFX-2's Chocobo Theme is the worst.It is possibly the best Chocobo theme... Mambo de Chocobo (FF5) might be better. FF9's wasn't too bad either. As much as FF6 is my favorite FF, Techno de Chocobo was rather lack luster in retrospect.
Martial Law is still the best track in this game.
Junction System was completly broken, you can hit 9999 with 9999 life drain on disk one without much grinding just smart junction, GF training.
Loved the game anyway besides that, I still play Triple Triad on my phone nowadays.
It was so weird my first time playing through it. I understood the basics of the Junction System, but I also had to deal with my previous knowledge from other RPGs that levelling up was good.Despite the ease of breaking the Junction System, one of my top three FF of all time. It just has a something that resonates with me. It felt more 'magical' and 'fantasy' than 7 despite having the same type of world.
Triple Traid is also the greatest minigame ever
People keep talking about the 15th anniversary of Final Fantasy 8, but it's way cooler that 2014 marks the 8th anniversary of Final Fatnasy 15!
Junction your characters,currently playing through this my first time. i already know im not playing the combat right. I know theirs a better way than just spamming GFs, because that is not fun.
any tips?

Before this game came out, no one thought it was possible for Square to make a bad game. This game changed everything.
I still want my money and time back from 15 years ago.
