The most memorable thing about the game is the OST. Even that song that's a rip off of Hummell Gets The Rockets.

Started FF8 with a friend and played it like we did a FF7, the game can be quite hard if you level up for bosses.Here's my tips to anyone starting Final Fantasy 8:
- Do not grind. In the traditional sense anyway. It doesn't help you in this game.
The plot twist was the GREATEST in the series if you understand the story.

It's funny how in Italy FF8 was indisputably the better received of the PSX trilogy. Maybe it's because it was the first to be translated in Italian, maybe because our translation was conducted directly from the Japanese version (instead of it being a derivative of the English version, like many other games at the time) and Squall was a likeable moron rather than an insufferable asshole. Still, most of those who were teens at the time of FF8's release vastly prefer it to FF7.
Game wasn't the best, but the soundtrack was incredible.It was well composed and sounded good, a big step up in quality from 7.

I can't be the only one that would prefer a remake or remaster of FF8 over FF7?
Thats the canon in my head imo, so good.This game also brought up some cool fan theories. In particular, theRinoa = Ultimecia
I'm right there with you on all of this. Great post! I don't think I've played a game that's had a world that I've loved as much as I do FF8's world.I can't be the only one that would prefer a remake or remaster of FF8 over FF7?
I love FF8, it just might be my favorite game in the series and one of my faves of all time. It's part of the trinity of best PS1 games imo (the other two being Xenogears and Chrono Cross).
I actually think the love story between Squall and Rinoa was well done, and I remember reading interviews before the game came out with the creators saying that was a big focus in the game. FF8 also has the best ending in the series, one of the best casts, my favorite villains (Ultimecia & Edea <3), one of the best soundtracks.
I don't even have an issue with the GF plot twist regardingFits in really well with the love & family theme the game has going.their forgotten memories of growing up together at the Orphanage with Edea as their mother figure.
I was so excited for FF13 before it came out as the art style made it look like FF8's amazing sleek futuristic locations but..... we all know how that turned out :/
This game also brought up some cool fan theories. In particular, theand theRinoa = Ultimeciatheories. I disagree with both but they were fun to speculate on.Squall is dead in the ending

Well I thought you meant the main theme but still, I'm not hearing it :-/
