This was legitimately one of the most moving things I've ever seen, it made such an impression on me as a kid. I barely felt a thing playing FF7 meanwhile. It's insane to me that people even compare them, you can tell Square learned so much making 7 and 8 is the fruit of their labor, it's so much more polished, the characters are actual characters.

Pretty much everything you said is wrong. Magic use had a much better place in FF8 than other games imo because only certain kinds of magic were strong at certain times, on the other hand in a game like 7 you get away with spamming the same skills over and over like Aqualung 95% of the time, which you get super early, can have on every chara, and totally trivializes the game too. No FF game has difficult combat, hate to break it to you. In 8 though you basically need Triple to make Magic really strong, but it's not like you a GF that gives you free Triple on every chara...right?

Also I really enjoyed manipulating Rinoa's magic pool so she only uses Meteor with max stats in her 2nd limit break. I would set her up to auto hasted and she'd basically kill any boss by herself without any input from me after using Angel Wing. It was really satisfying having her unleash a nuclear holocaust every second while I can relax with my other character inputs, not sure why.

How is she so perfect bros?
