Crazy sexy, had a big crush on him growing up that never really went away. It’s the eyes that put it over the top. Soulful, deep, not exaggerated. 10/10 would marry

>>9386050
That's very gay of you, anon

>>9386074
Who knows? Maybe that anon is a female.

>>9386041
Whatever...

>>9386134
I would love to briefly gain genie magic and use it to learn exactly how many female humans have used /vr/, and when they used it, and what they talked about, and how they tolerated the anti-woman pro-sausagefest all-gay-all-the-time-but-we-also-like-waifu-threads culture here

FF8 will always be the best FF for me. Call me a emo little bitch I don't care. Loved it and it also had the best music.

>>9386357
Kek. Well played.

>>9386041
Squall wouldn't be on a message board shitting away his life.

>>9386569
He died at age 18 at the end of disc 1, impaled by a spike of ice, so he achieved not much more with his time.

>>9386574
that's not true his spirit moved on to the Farplane and he helped the other fayth summon Tidus to Spira - and eventually, a mage who had special powers inherited from an ancient god resurrected him (offscreen, and also unmentioned) into a new body which happened to have belonged to a woman, whereupon he lived out his new life in a healthy and fulfilling lesbian relationship with a beautiful Al Bhed girl

>>9386562
No I agree completely.

>>9386586

>>9386692
Lightning. She's got dykey Xena vibes all day.

Guys please don't pretend to like FF8.
It's not adequate before my glance.

She's literally me

He's literally me
>>9386562
It's also my favorite, at this point I don't care that the game is a broken mess, I just enjoy it as it is.

>>9386751
I masturbated to you a LOT when I was a kid.

triple triad anyone?

>>9386357
別に…

>>9386696
Lightning is from the split timeline in FFVII where Cloud decided he really didn’t care about rescuing Aeris from the Shinra building and lived the rest of his days in drag.

>>9386696
HopuRai is pretty popular with the Japs though.

>>9386437
I’m sure it’s both far more than speds would think and far less than basedbrains would say. I think a lot of them don’t care about the culture or even enjoy it

>>9386041
Best thread on /vr/ right now.

>>9386041
I hate do say ,but me too

>>9386041
characters that are literally you thread ?
thats me.

>>9386041
When this game came out, I wanted to be Squall.
Now, I just want to junction myself to Selphie.

>>9386562

Best music for sure. Fisherman’s Horizon just brings me back to a time I wish I could stay in. It’s a really nostalgic sounding song, too.

quite literally me

>>9386696
you can go with that if you want but technically the canon is that FFXIII and FFX do not cross over until after Lightning's time, once Kid Thief "Toby" finally comes out of his time prison and grows into his full powers as the series' first summoner (and, once he takes his adult name, its first "Cid") and makes the deal with Ozma that leads to the intertwining of the universes (only some of them though)

>>9386041
a literal autistic teenager that doesn't want to get involved in all that stupid shit but has no other option because muh girlfriend & muh destiny forces him to...
yeah, whatever...

>>9387551
Can’t even take his shoes off when he gets into the bed. Literally grinds dirt into the sheets as he cries about nothing. Why was he like this?

I want to spend days with Rinoa or Quistis in Fisherman's Horizon and just waste our days away there forever

Love trains. Love my friends! It's as shrimple as that.

wtf /vr/os, was Squall based on us??

>he
"He" looks like Jane Lynch. "He" probably IS Jane Lynch.
It's like Randi Zuckerberg. You can't convince me this is just Mark in drag.

>>9386574
>a-a-a-a-a-a-achszually a spike totally impaled him that was real he truly died guys, because everything after disc 1 was super weird and everything before that totally wasn't!

He's literally me rn

Has anyone tried the Crystal mod? Just installed the game with the mod today, and so far I'm really enjoying everything about it.
It makes me think of how I'm going to face the bosses instead of just stacking stats and killing everyone by spamming ultimates. It helps that every character is different and not just in the ultimate

>>9390294

Is Rinoa the worst FF girl?

>>9387367
forgot picture.

>>9388245
Nah, if I was a video game character, i'd just be some dude in a bar who gives you useless infortmation. If I was walking around outside, i'd probably say "Damn it's really nice out today".

>>9387983
Whoa, calm down Captain Torres

>>9392171
>Picture it! Curaga!

he's literally me

I can’t be the only one who hates Selphie.

>>9392175
>let me tell you a story, back when I was a gunnery officer

>>9392187
She's probably the most pointless character in the party. Quistis may lose all her relevance after disc 1 but at least she had some

>>9391969
You’re a whiny twink?

>>9392806
im also canadian and was about the same age when i played code veronica and claire is my waifu.

FF 8 is art. would make a very fine book or movie with small changes.

Why Ultimecia couldn't cast time compression from the future? I mean what the difference to cast it from future or any other point of time if the result will be the same?

How long does it take to finally establish what the game is going to be about? I'm just about to go shoot a witch with this gay cowboy I just met and still there is no plot. Just a bunch of comedic relief characters and Squall and we're all just walking around doing stupid shit.

>>9393723
You've already seen the best the game has to offer. Don't wait for the good part; there isn't one. If you're not enjoying the game, drop it cause it won't get any better, quite the opposite in fact.

>>9393740
I'm enjoying the gameplay, but the story/characters are boring me. Basically I'm just playing it for my chad homie Seifer at this point.

>>9393723
>plot
Nigga you're a mercenary.
You just graduated from Elite Mercenary High.
You just go do mercenary shit.
>where are we?
I dunno exactly, the place that payed us to be here.
>what are we doin'?
>I dunno exactly, this chick is our employer and we're... we're knockin' off a train or some shit.
>Uh, why...?
The fuck should I know, we're getting paid to knock off this train for this chick.

>>9393723
Oh yea, and you have those flashes of being the soldier dudes.
For them it's like, they just want to do the bare minimum and go home alive. They're the guys in uniform and they don't give two fucks.

>>9393723
You're basically there. Just pay attention to what the sorceress says

>>9393723
The plot is you being part of a squad of elite mercenaries that were hired to support a rebel group. The plan fails and it's revealed that a witch is with the president you were trying to kidnap, and it's implied that she's the one in control so you want to kill her.
The plot is not the most complex until that point but there is a plot, what are you talking about?

>>9389587
For the Minotaurs I don’t see the problem, they already had some G-Force earlier so why would you consider those Minotaurs as anormal in this world ?

Why did Squall cause most teen boys to question their sexuality when playing FF8?

>>9395250
That card game was actually really fun.
I'd totally play that with random people if that was a thing IRL.

>>9387551
That scene hurt more than was expected

>>9396345

Anyone got that screencap of Squall empathizing with a dude in the ruins of Trabia Garden, saying something like the world needs both people like him and Squall? It's the bit that convinced me Squall could, indeed, be a pretty cool guy.

>>9396774
I think that's Fisherman's Horizon

He’s too stoic to be a girl.

>>9397557
Japanese stories always have that one super stoic dark haired chick that's actually a huge softy inside

>>9397626
the best kind of waifu

This game's plot and setting is soulless garbage and is only liked by autists who don't understand how people interact. They had something going with Squall in disc 1 and 2 but every other party member is a waste of space, none of them ever say or do anything of importance and the setting is bleak and empty throughout.

>>9398514
filtered

>>9398514
Oh yeah, if there's anything people seem to agree about this game, is that everyone except for Squall is a drooling fucking retard and are essentially carboard cutouts, with the exception of Rinoa, but that's actually worse since again, she's fucking retarded and unlikable and you're forced to endure her stupidity through much of the game.

If any Square employee sees this thread, I bet you're havin' a good laugh, just ummm yeah, sorry about this

>>9386041
He isn't you he does not exist

>>9387551
lmao he's such a fucking loser

>>9399025
Final Fantasy 7 house was pretty real.............

>>9398987
It isn't just the characters though, the entire game up to the airship clash with Gabaldia feels bleak and dull. It's like everything that happens in the story is completely pointless and the plot has no focus, nothing that happens matters to anyone or anything so why am I even playing?

>>9399084
>>9387551
did any of you anons were actually this emo?
I know my big brother and several of my schoolmates had the habit of talking like that every now and then but it always sounded dumb to me

>>9399253
I tried but it didnt work and then I just kept the clothes

>>9397626
URUSAI URUSAI URUSAI!

>>9399253
I don't see how that's emo. He's not complaining to someone about it, he's just reflecting

>>9399437
I fucking miss this shit like YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE. Why can't she be real?!?!?

>>9399986
If anything, Squall's issue is that he bottles everything up to an unhealthy extent.

>>9399986
monologuing and whipping yourself mentally to the point of doing a fetal position sounds emo to me, yeah
Not his usual attitude though, in my opinion he was doing fairly well as a leader and those self deprecating remarks are unfounded

>>9393721
She needs Ellone, doesn't she?

>A: Basically, most of my ideas come from movies and magazines, or I just create them in my head.
>Q: Where did the inspiration for the characters in The Bouncer come from? It was rumored that the inspiration for Squall was based loosely on Tetsuya Nomura himself.
>Nomura: River Pheonix was the inspiration for Squall. Nobody understood it.

Variations of this remain what is probably my favorite reference to Final Fantasy, ever.

I wonder if Seifer died on the inside when he discovered he spent his entire life trying to emulate a character played by his rival's dad, and that said dad was actually the clumsiest dork in known history.

>>9406280
FF8 is a story about two cucks battling to be the least cucked cuck. It's an allegory for voting

>>9387551
Literally us.

>>9406180
does not look like that on a crt.

>>9407495
Still looked pretty shit

>>9407554
i dont know,i can still see squall as being attractive.

Adults never outgrow their damaged childhood, it's a lifelong struggle against relapsing into >>9387551 which Squall will again, when normality sets in.

>>9413139
Image omits that playing YGO is the actual key to power in FF8. As long as you complete the CC Club quest, you can literally ignore most of the game's other side quests (purely from a power/reward perspective).

i forgot why was he living under the school? what the hell was all that thing about?

>>9413986
Obviously just Squall’s dream from after he died at the end of disc 1.

>>9413986
IIRC, he provided the funding for the Gardens, so he effectively owns the place. He got mad that SeeD were trying to kill sorceresses instead of making money, which is why he tried to overthrow Cid earlier.

>>9404065
Thankfully he lacks the self destructiveness of River.

Holy fucking shit

>>9386041
The level system is the one thing I blame.
I want to fight in this game, but doing so makes the game worse.
I want to be better when I level, not that the enemies scale up like hell if I do that.

>>9386617
Pretty much this.

>>9414195
don't be a pussy bitch and fight, i finished the game at lv99

>>9414224
Bitch, I was nonstop 250 EDEN on every monster I saw, taking up hours of pressing X like a mad man with hotdogs and sugar ADHD train autist. Don't tell me what to do, you're not even LVL100, pleb.
WHATEVER...

>>9386617
I agree with everything except I don't mind chibi characters as part of the Japanese style.

Ans of you power-level right, then you can brute-force your way through it with P-atks without ever having to summon.

>>9386357
Beat me to it.

>>9414195
Call me weird but I really enjoyed playing the game through breaking it with triple triad then steamrolling all the enemies. Even better with the ps4 version that allows you to turn off random encounters so I could just enjoy the world and story. Granted the story gets a bit weird towards the end but I still really love the atmosphere and artistic design.

>I want to fight in this game, but doing so makes the game worse.
If you don't mind, mod the game. There are a few gameplay overhauls that rework the system around fighting and not so much aroud the card game/drawing magic.

>>9419050
Ulti is actually Jenova reincarnated.

>>9419050
Rinoa is Ultimecia though

>>9419072
The creators btfo that retarded theory like 15 years ago. And then there's Dissidia again proving otherwise. Keep coping FFVI chudlet

>>9386041
7 and 9 were much better, square was sleeping at the wheel with 8.

>>9397626

>>9419080
>creators

One guy on the team who had nothing to do with the plot. He also retracted that statement .

>>9419080
Who cares about what one guy who worked in the game said? The story makes more sense if Ultimecia is Rinoa

I'm playing the PC version on my craptop, modded. Just about to finish what would be disc 1 and eat Blizzaga. I'm playing with the retranslation patch and it isn't bad at all. Does it maintain that level of non-retardation or should I just uninstall the translation? Anyone played it?

>>9419467
I tried to play it with WINE one time, and uh, don't bother, shit's all fucked up.
Like, yea, technically it runs... but uh, yea.

>>9419478
Oh its a stuttering mess that takes several seconds to load a battle but that's probably the fault of the upscaled textures for characters, bosses and enemies.
and the fault of this fucking intel HD500

>>9419486
Are you playing the Remastered version? Because I think that version has fps drops in certain specs, even good ones.
A few years ago I tried playing that version and while the first disc 1 was smooth, in the disc 2 it started to had random drops. I just installed the 2013 version with some backgrounds and ost mods.
Having the turbo option is nice but I prefer the game to run properly

is Seifer Squalls brother? are they both Lagunas kids?

I hate when Final Fantasy started becoming an explicitly "cool shibuya kid" game series. Give me knights and wizards and dragons. They had a better game design than Dragon Quest, and they squandered it.

>>9421787
Seifer is Cid/Edea's kid.

>>9419082
>square was sleeping at the wheel with 8
More like they were loaded with more operating capital than they ever had before from the success of FF7, and could afford to try to implement every crazy idea they wanted. I sincerely believe that FF8 is about 3 or 4 different story proposals that were merged into one. An example of what happens when too many good ideas are executed with about 50% of the effort they deserve.
