If you can't find things to enjoy, you're a broken person.
>>750644452somehow 9 is worse
>>750644452Yup. Draw system was retarded, most of the cast were unlikeable twats, and all the stupid ass B-movie tier twists with their corny telanovela style delivery. The game was a fucking joke, I can't believe I bothered finishing it when I was a teenager. Only sort of good thing about it was the card battle minigameThe game's only saving grace is that its reputation got bad enough that it became ""overhated"" so therefore you have a non negligible group of people who treat it like God's gift to an ungrateful world. They use headcanon to improve the shitshow plot and forgive the broken systems as "soulful". A true testament to its abounding shittiness
>>750644452i rank it close to bottom tierhttps://youtu.be/Pw4LPSEOMoA?si=5eTvhxYhx-Yi06ZQ&t=2013I wish 8 got remade instead of Redditbirth.
>>750645229You wish
>IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WE ALL CAME FROM THE SAME ORPHANAGE AS KIDS, STRANGE HUH!?fucking dogshit.

>>750646118that's the only bad part of the game
My fondest memories of video games are easily their soundtracks.I love Final Fantasy VIII.If FF8 needs to be categorized as simply a platform to present its soundtrack, it's already a great game.I will thank and praise Nobuo Uematsu endlessly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tpfp5_5Xjms
>>750648650its uematsu's best work
>>750646118You mean the Balamb Garden SeeDs (a school comprised mostly of war orphans) were all war orphans from the same orphanage that raised war orphans into becoming SeeDs?... and that's unbelievable coincidence for you?Did you know that when you go to public school, and you have a neighbor who is the same age as you, there's a high chance you'll go to the same public school?
>>750648895It's an awful plot twist to boot lickerLiterally everyone agrees
>>750646118even better>I DID NOT SHOOT THE SORCERESS BECAUSE SHE TOOK CARE OF US! WE WERE ALL ORPHANS IN THE SAME ORPHANAGE! NO, I WILL NOT EXPLAIN THIS TO ANY ONE OF YOU EXCEPT MUCH LATER IN THE GAME!
Ultimecia and the actual implications of what Time Compression would entail were woefully underutilized. Japs built an interesting world and wasted it utterly on some basic bitch romance plot. I will never not be mad.
>>750648895retard it's the fact that nobody remembered and the one guy who did never brought it up
>>750645093Really had to stretch it out, huh
>>750649575yea, rinoa got stretched out
>>750649239It wasn't a plot twist at all.There was no plot change, shift, divergence or difference at all. It altered nothing. It did two things:1. Explained why Irvine hesitated/failed assassinating Edea(Ultimecia)2. Provided background for Cid and Edea.Its only plot relevance was literally its location (the flower field) since that was the place Squall and Rinoa promised to reunite.You just seem upset that "the Orphanage" got background with a fun coincidence instead of, say, Tonberry.
>>750650170The orphanage reveal is basically where the game gives up on its own cast. Irvine gets forgotten, Quistis gets forgotten, Zell gets forgotten, and Selphie gets forgotten. It just becomes the Squall and Whoreoa show afterward.
>>750650170>slopper>STILL defends a terrible plot pointyup, a FF8 fan, alright
>>750650293>The orphanage reveal is basically where the game gives up on its own cast.That's true enough, yes. It's an expository narrative position that finalizes any "plot relevence" for any characters other than Squall, Rinoa, Ultimecia, or Ellone. The cast will still act like the cast, but they are irrelevant to the outcome of this game's plot. They always were. Simply visiting the orphanage gave a verse in this song that let the game stop investing any interest in Zell's love for hot dogs.

FF9 would be better if it didn't take FIFTY BILLION FUCKING YEARS to get started
>>750650170>these people who got brought together randomly happens to have grown together and also their caretaker was the evil sorceress they tried to kill but didn't remember because gf>not a plot twistnigga come on
Still to this day it's the only Final Fantasy I've played to completition. All the other ones become boring. Selphie is best girl. Rinoa is ok. Quistis is a dumbass and even as a kid I hated her. Fujin should have been in the game more.
>>750651131it's actually better at the start, I hated the other two continents
>/v/edditors proving themselves incapable of understanding basic plot beats and being bitter likeable autistsYep. It's a FF8 thread
>>750648650>>750648826>>750651074Uematsu 100% deserves his praise and reference to why Final Fantasy ever succeeded in-the-first-place. His compositions... his hundreds of compositions... are beautifully enchanting and fit each game's tone so perfectly.He's a genius musical composer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaOmfYF6OVs
>>750651208>Explaining "why" is always a plot twistNo.It simply explained why.Rare for you, sure, living in Kentucky.Not so rare for the magical, post-war, disheveled world of FF8.
>>750651704Stop making excuses for retardation.
>>750651131>>750651286Of all the "my" FF games (PS1 and PS2 era), I can at least easily claim that Final Fantasy IX's chocobo themes were the most fun and my favorite. There was a lot of worthwhile investment, color, game, and reward for that completely irrelevant sidequest.
>>750651942i loved the secret treasures quest
>>750645281Ah the dark souls 2 situation
>>750651942>>750652078kweh
I'd respect FF8fags more if they just acknowledged the flaws and not treat every shit decision the game makes as some misunderstood 5D chess move.
>>750652193No, Dark Souls 2 never got overhated. In fact, most of its flaws are still ignored to this day.
>>750645093>no mention of gameplaykek, every time
>>750653082Modern kids have a hard time explaining "the act of gaming" if it's not "piloting a character with your joystick into performing gymnastics." Games centered around "menus" and "selecting options" isn't engaging enough for them to qualify it as some sort of action, like, "gaming." They can't justify "Oregon Trail" being a game more than it being a book. They can't justify "Final Fantasy VII" being a game more than a sequence of FMVs... especially if you compare it to "Final Fantasy: Remake."If I brought up FFVIII's gameplay, speaking about its>overworld map>battle mechanics>plot explorationmany modern gamers (or otherwise angry Internet contrarians) would claim I'm not "playing" a game at all, and that FF8 is just reading a book while occasionally selecting "Renzokuken" so, therefore, it's not a game and everyone should refuse to appreciate it. Finding any fault somehow justifies total failure when judged.
