Final Fantasy 8 Remaster Fixes One Of Its Funniest Memes

Rinoa's legs in the original though. Someone give that girl a sandwich!

feels like it come out from kingdom hearts for a final fantasy 8 remastered.

Squall looks soft and weak with the remaster. I like his rugged pixel face from before.

Anyways, glad its remastering completely now. I hope they get the music right this time and don't use garbage midi conversions.

Not much of a fan of the draw system either, felt like a big waste of time, but i'll play the PC version and just cheat and not waste time drawing spells. Just gonna play it for the soundtrack and storyline, i played it twice through before on the psx so no need wasting time grinding on the remaster.

great game. I hope Square Enix brings back Limit Breaks with FF16 when it releases in 2050.

The graphics look better, but that does not look like Squall to me. Not a fan of the new model.

Well, there's no excuse now to not release a physical "Final Fantasy classics remastered collection" including FFVII, FFVIII & IX.

That was a funny meme?

Now he's a pretty androgynous boy.

Riona

This was my favored PSone FF game, however I want one thing changed in the remaster, the only thing I dint like in the original, I want the game to remember my guardian/magic settings!!! It was so annoying to have to redo everything every time I change characters after a crucial story event

There was a tough look in his face .. disappears for ever

Was one of my least liked FFVIII but this time around I might finish it. FFIX is what I want to see remastered or better yet become a remake. That game was awesome.

Better looking for sure, but its still going to be the worst FF game I've played.

I guess the new meme will have to do with how awful Squall's new hairstyle looks.

Am I the only one that spotted the name of Rinoa spelled wrong? Can plz the author update it? I freaked out! Riona? who is she? a new char in the remastered version? a doppelganger of Rinoa? :P

I will play the game no doubt but the draw system in this game is retarded as hell.

"a contentious magic system that required you to "Draw" spells from enemies as opposed to using a traditional MP gauge."

After no more than an hour into the game you are not ever required to draw spells, unless you refuse to pay attention to how the game's various systems work; teaching your GFs very simple abilities lets you refine common items found after every battle into almost all the main magic spells in the game. You'd think one of the biggest gaming websites on the internet would get this right instead of pushing bogus information. Oh well.

I loved FF8. To this day aside from Heavensward and Shadowbringers it remains my favorite FF game. Sure you could break the game pretty easily with the item conversion and junction system to make it a complete cakewalk, but it was fun having that kind of flexibility and power.

I never did like the Draw system, as I would sit and draw every new spell I found in 1 battle until I reached 100. Only able to draw 1 to 3 spells at a time took so long. After that I never wanted to use the spells because it would affect stats. The rest of the battle system was fun and the story is what kept me going. Also, the addicting card battle minigame.

Final Fantasy VIII catches a lot of flack in it's legacy years. I loved it back in the day, especially the trick if you left your characters in yellow health and just switched through the characters repeatedly until their limit break engaged. I defeated that high level enemy island because of that trick haha.

Anyways, I enjoyed it, even if the story got pretty strange at times.
