Why was Squall so emo?

[Anonymous No.]

>>3599888
Because he was a teenager who preferred to be alone and take it easy instead of every problematic idiot clinging to him.
Understandable.
Annoying though, since he is the lead of the game.
Also, /v/.

Because the only person he cared deeply (Ellone) for was taken from him at a young age, causing him to withdraw and never make any lasting connections thenceforth.

I'm sure there's a few untouched memories in there, that you yourself have forgotten in an attempt to forget them.

But one day you'll come across something and it will BREAK that barrier.

[MolesterJim No.]

The problem is junction makes it too easy.
After the first time you play, abusing it is a cinch.
It's as bad as FF7 materia, only requires less grinding/fighting.

Final fantasy 8 was ridiculously easy because the junction system was so broken. I mean, within a few hours of gameplay you could have junctioned 100 curaga's to EVERYONE's health which pretty much gives you enough HP for anything.

Pretty much.

Leveling was also broken, leveling up actually made the game harder. And you pretty much had to keep killing monsters to avoid getting your SeeD rank down, so you had to be careful with that as well.

Terrible game mechanics, but at least Triple Triad was fun.

FF8:

you gotta be shitting me

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600198
Yeah, it was way too easy to level up, because monsters leveled up with you.

Also Squall's R2 trigger is a total cheat.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600186

Okay, that twist was a bit stupid, but to be fair, the "GFs cause memory loss" thing was legitimately and sufficiently foreshadowed.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600206
It made random encounters slightly less easy at the expense of making bosses a joke.

I always overlevel on accident in FF8 and all bosses end up being complete pushovers, to the point where I can just stand there and draw magic from them until I'm at 100. It's pathetic.

How was the memory thing foreshadowed? I didn't really pay attention

>It made random encounters slightly less easy at the expense of making bosses a joke.

Um, what?

Bosses get more of a buff than anything else.

I dare you to fight Omega Weapon at level 100 compared to level 40. He's about 6000% more difficult, since you don't get many buffs and his speed skyrockets.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600220

In the tutorial, it mentions that "Recent studies have shown that extensive use of GFs may cause long-term memory loss". A few NPCs parrot this, as well as Irvine if I remember correctly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600223
I thought bosses didn't level up with you?

Maybe Omega Weapon does, but I'm pretty sure the rest don't.

[Anonymous No.]

Fuujin and Raijin are one of the hardest bosses if you don't level up at all. To me at least.

[Anonymous No.]

How do you guys remember the details of a 11 year old game so vividly?

Really? Omega Weapon does, at least. I honestly don't know about storyline bosses.

He basically gains ten thousand HP per level.

The Omega weapon's the only boss in the game that doesn't scale to your level.

To this day I can´t get past disc 1, There´s something about 8´s ambience that makes me feel bored and depressed. Reading that the card game is sort of "important" doesn´t help since I don´t like it.

This coming from someone who only likes 9 and tactics. Who knows, maybe if i play the other discs I might come to like it, but having "tried" the 1st one 4 times already I think I´ll pass.

[Anonymous No.]

>>3600403

There's 3 important cards in the game, and only 1 needs you to actively play to get it.

That one is Gilgamesh, who refines into 10 Holy Wars, aka 10 Gamebreaker Primes. You win it from the King of Hearts of the card club.
The other is Laguna, which refines into 100 Heroes, aka 100 Gamebreakers. (It actually takes skill to get it since the Lunar Base has FUCKED UP RULES, but it doesn't require a chain of games like Gilgamesh.)
The last is Bahamut, which refines into 100 Megalixirs, which is self-explanatory. You win it in a battle.

[Anonymous No.]

I gave the fuck up after getting trapped in some.. area where Rinoa was held captive by Seifer or whoever, and was manipulating her. You had to defeat some boss which I couldn't get past, and I couldn't grind because of the particular area. This was pretty late into the game.

Massive disappointment overall though, I expected something amazing. I think everyone did, since most people's first RPG was FF7. I played FF7 as my first RPG to actually beat, but only because it had a guide. God, so much sidetracking and shit unrelated to the story. Oh I know, let's go to some random city and pick up some random chick who will fill the sixth slot of our party and we'll never use.

I wish they would make a current-gen Saga game. Saga Frontier 2 was the shit. Maybe I'll check out the Saga 2 DS game.. 言葉の壁 might be a problem though.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm ashamed to confess that I've never beat FFVIII, got stuck at disk 3 with that boss at the underground(undersea?) research facility, Omega or Ultima Weapon. Tried to beat him several times, couldn't, and eventually gave up and lost the save.

Did you, um... Realize Ultima Weapon is completely optional?

Yes. But not being able to beat Ultima weapon is depressing.

[Anonymous No.]

I beat this game a couple of times, and before my cousin took my memory card and my discs (the fucker), I tried my hand at Omega. Could only defeat him with Selphie's 'Rapture' or something, given the time limit (was there a time limit?) and the fact that MY HP WAS CONSTANTLY AT 1

Needless to say this thread has renewed my interest. brb dl rom
