I've got a .txt on my work laptop and the ff8 cover in the downloads folder for quick access

>>5746629
You also have a Griever necklace and practice Seifers battle stance in front of a mirror. In nothing but the trenchcoat. Said trenchcoat is homemade.

I'd just like to say that ff8 is a good game with an interesting story and an interesting, shadowy villain whom is active in the game since disc 1 and whose appear is known since the end of disc 2. I really love Ultimecia and want to be her slave.

Also ff8 is a good game with a good world map with lots of good towns and fun magic and fun enemies

I love FF8s atmosphere and aesthetic.
I'm really glad that it doesn't have any talking in it.

>>5746606
My only real complaint about 8 is the 1000 exp per level and the fact that monsters level with you. This makes progressing feel awkward and less rewarding.

>>5746606
i dont get why one of the best characters in all of the later Final Fantasy games (7+) gets almost no love

>>5746606
VIII is a lot more enjoyable if you only bother with magic you intend to junction and ignore the rest and just use items instead.

>>5746648
God cosplay is so fucking dumb

>>5746606
VIIII was never good

>>5746606
>Also, there is only one difficulty in jarpigs so to play the game on "hard" the player must implement their own challenges
Wow I never thought of it like that before

Because he is a cuck who bitched out and missed the shot

>>5748285
He would have done it if he wasnt a cuck and was taking the mission seriously

there, now the gameplay isn't a complete joke

>>5748298
true

you seem like an incel homosexual

Find yourself actual arguments instead of the same old buzzwords, fellow redditor.

Only 19 hours old and it's already turned into a bait thread.. impressive.

>>5748414
Not a record but still impressive.

>>5748386
The gameplay was incredible for all of the reasons that you think should be removed. You don't have to remove Aura if you think that it trivializes encounters because you can just not use it, Enc-None was groundbreaking by giving the player the ability to turn off random encounters in a genre where random encounters are a major criticism. I agree draw cap should have been higher. Allowing only 1 GF to be equipped may make sense from a story telling perspective, but it is gay in game because it is fun deciding who gets which GF and balancing the GF distribution amongst the characters. Removing all refine abilities is dumb because refine gives the player the option to skip random encounters all together by refining cards for supplies. Remove card mod is just retarded.

I almost 100%'d this game
Beat Omega Weapon after much cursing. All I have to do is finish the Queen of Cards quest. Pain in the ass

I've tried going back to this a few times over the years and always get derailed. Part of why I want to go back to it and replay it (never beat it sadly) is because I can put death on my weapons and sling spells all day and other things. I dont mind the setting or story (what tiny bits I remember) so I mostly just wanna beat it and enjoy death swords and magic goodness and drawing for reasons and stats

>>5746648
Why would Zell's cosplayer not be smiling? His optimism and upbeat attitude is his strongest feature.

>>5748251
His aim was perfect, Edea straight up blocked it. If he was aiming for anyone other than a literal Time Goddess it would have been an easy kill.

>>5748717
Zell and Squall make a good comedy duo
Squall's serious and quiet
Zell is the polar opposite

>>5748719
You're right

Is Diablos in other ff games? He always seemed very cool

>>5748414
It's because some brightheaded fuck decided to link this thread on a FF7 remake thread on /v/

>>5746618
8 doesn't have Cloud, therefore 8 > 7.

Please return to reddit immediately.

>>5749963
what's readit?

>>5746606
I've always had a mega boner for ff8 Bahamut and Ultima weapon. The entire Deep Sea Research Center is peak Final Fantasy.

>>5746606
The OST is incredible and the story isn't nearly as bad as everyone crows about.

That's about all I have to say.

He was still willing to let his "childhood friends" die in prison until Rinoa dragged him by the ear and forced him to bail them out.

>>5748730
This was intentional

>>5746606
I have always really enjoyed VIIIs space sequence. Top notch compared to most other jarpigs.

>>5747197
His limit break was a lot of fun but his character was bland imo

>>5746606
What a gay, edgy game

>>5751870
In what way is it edgy?

>>5751894
It's not edgy, the retard that you are replying to is using the reddit definition of edgy rather than the real definition.

>>5751894
Squall is an edgy gayboi

>>5751906
Cringe and soipilled

Ah, you're one of those. Opinion on anything and everything discarded.

>>5751921
I come to 4chan for /vr/ lol, I don't really use any other boards, except /g/ occasionally. Nice try though.

>>5751926
Just what a /pol/tard would say

>>5751929
okay

>>5751930
Have sex

>>5751931
I do. Stop memeing you dumb nigger.

>>5748730
>he doesn't know about Boke & Tsukkomi

Funny there's an FFVIII thread up - haven't been on /vr/ in some time. Been replaying the game for the first time since I was eleven or twelve, its aged very nicely. Art holds up well and while the drawing system is a little tedious, I do still really like the junction system, as busted as it is.

>>5746606
>I used to do this when I was a child, but it got boring
This is not a valid excuse

Emulate or steam?
I’ll be using my Chinese ds4 either way

>>5753701
Steam version is good

>>5749985
This is legitimately my second favorite final boss theme in the series (after Zeromus)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkcmx2l3WA

Force Your Way is also top 3 regular boss themes. Some of the town music in 8 gets real tiresome though, which is why its not a top OST overall to me.

>>5749179
Only in FFVI

>>5747197
he's all hat no cattle

>>5749179
>>5754657
Also Super Mario RPG as a side boss if I remember right.
