Squall + Rinoa + Quistis/Selfie and summoning Cerberus for double/triple on everyone and then spellweaving your 3x protect in one turn, 3x shell in one turn and 2x full life if two party members are down, etc. Truly the best magic in video games.

You've also got the story of a sorceress from the future who seeks to compress time, which is one of the best stories ever written, while also being by far the best story in the Final Fantasy series.

You've also got the best characters in the series.

You've also got the best minigame in the series.

You've also got the best soundtrack in the series.

You've also got the best sidequests in the series.

You've also got the most customization in the series.

You've also got the best limit breaks in the series.

You've also got the best summons in the series.

You've also got the best spells in the series.

You've also got the best character development/interaction in the series.

People dislike FF8 because a) it isn't FF7 2.0 and b) they're too slow to understand the story. The leddit normies h8 the junction system, which I understand to an extent because drawing magic is pretty shitty, but you refine 99% of your magic anyway so it works out in the end.

You've got the best monster design on top of everything that I just listed.

It truly is the best FF game and one of the best video games ever made.

The best part is that week leading up to the game's release when everyone at school was so hyped for it, because the previous game was so good, and everyone thought we were going to get 60 hours more of a whole new world to explore doing all that stuff that was so much fun in the previous game. It was all downhill after that : )

Everyone from the garden was an orphan. The White SeeDs were Edea's orphans too. That's how bad the Sorceress War was. They live on a planet where T-rex roam forests and giant caterpillars could eat little girls in the middle of town square because monsters rain down from the moon at regular intervals.
It's actually not that big of a revelation. And it wouldn't have changed a whole lot if they had kept their memories. I mean, Irvine had his memories and he was the one sniping Edea. I mean, what would they have done differently?

Some theorists theorize that the monsters only gain physical form after a certain time, and that their "spirits" spawn from the moon itself, so nuking the moon to kill the monsters is like trying to nuke ghosts.

Clouds memories are only distorted with a small portion of Zach's memories due to mako exposure when hojo was experimenting on him. He doesn't remember Zach's childhood, it's still clouds memories. He was not as strong mentally or physically as Zach was, his mind was all fucked up. He partially took on the role of cloud/Zach because his brain was fogged over and he was being partially controlled by jenova. Once he started to realize this even a little bit, he slipped into a coma because his psyche didn't know what parts of his memories were real or fake. He didn't know who he was, he had to put the pieces back together in his subconscious.throughout the game clouds memory has lapses and tifa gives hints to this fact.

It's way fucking better than the orphanage story.

It's not the plot device of GF's affecting memories. That part is cool, and the idea that it is telegraphed through early in game dialogue that you can stumble across is also cool. The problem is that it was implemented like shit for a lame twist that meant nothing and felt fan fiction tier. It advances nothing, reveals nothing, and provides no payoff.

The Cloud stuff added texture and depth to his character. Everyone being raised in an orphanage together comes across like a wet fart.

ANYWAY, the best part of FFVIII is actually the Rinoa is a sorceress theory. It would have made the entire game and all its shitty shortcomings somehow worth it. Of course, it's the one time Square has decided to explicitly say a fan theory isn't true, sapping the only cult status energy this game ever had going for it. So the game is worthless.

>> No.5207875

Why? It's a good explanation that fits firmly in the stories narrative. Just cause you don't like the idea, doesn't mean it's just there for reasons, like gf memory loss, or orphanage story

No it can't. GFs are used since the first 30 minutes of the game, but nowhere in all of balamb garden does it tell you that they cause memory loss. GFs are essential if you want to get good magic, but the plot is the same if you never junction squall with a gf. The orphanage thing just pops up out of nowhere, but Irvine knew about it the whole time. Nowhere does he hint to it or say anything about not seeing you guys in years when you first meet him, which is like 2 hours into the game. Your fucking dumb for still trying to compare the two. you literally say zero things supporting your argument. You just say no, it's the same. It's not the fucking same you brainlet

R=U isn’t even the best FF8 theory, it’s the one where Squall dies from Edea’s ice attack. It acknowledges that the first disc is the only part where the story doesn’t feel like it’s pissing in your face and just lets you enjoy 2–4 like it’s just some weird fever dream.

Orphanage story works because of the time loop. I think the game does a disservice by starting in the middle the way it does, it makes it inaccessible to brainlets. The entire story is about a closed timeloop. A Sorcerer is trying to stop a prophecy that she inadvertently wrote when she traveled back in time at her death, beginning the timeloop. The point of her death, the beginning of the timeloop and the start of the prophecy is the orphanage with those children. It's why they end up together and why they always end up together, because it has to happen that way because it always did happen that way. That's how timeloops work.

Instead of people appreciating that, they just get blindsided with the amnesia and we were all kids together scene and mistake it for an asspull subplot instead of the major revelation and story reveal it is.

Soundtrack, the characters are great despite most of them being fuckups, the story is great but I realize that's more heavily up to personal opinion. The world is god-tier. It's my favorite modern FF and still one of my absolute favorite games in general.
