Final Fantasy VIII is 6th game of the 100% Final Fantasy Challenge. This game holds a special place in my heart, bringing back memories from when I first started playing and loving the franchise.

People always bring up the junction system as the reason FFVIII is divisive, but back when it came out i never heard anyone talking about that part. The reason people were criticizing it was because it was heavily focused on a love story.

@@misawa8629 Yeah, after doing some research I felt like this is what most people nowadays mentioned. But maybe I could have mentioned that as well 😀

It’s because there’s enough content now that they can compare the game to. Remember FF12? It was one of the most hated FF when it got released. But after FF13, suddenly people hail that game as one of the best FF. Basically, the haters are the loudest. Always

I don't know how to describe this game because it's far from perfect yet somehow perfect! Like a B grade movie that's awesome or a band that's not popular but its your favourite, sometimes you can't explain why you love something so much and that its so difrent so unique that you feel like its completely made just for you. I don't think I'll ever love another video game quite like I love FF8 and the fact that people by and large don't and won't ever understand. That to me is .....perfect

It bothers me to no end anyone who doesn't fight Diablos at level 30+. At 30+, Diablos gives flare and holy draws. It's ridiculous but so dang good. Also he is easily crippled by blind. He is succeptible to it.

@BrendenBarlow Ай бұрын

Something to note with diablos which maybe most people know? Maybe some don't? Idk. I don't have any friends that play 8 like i do. However, the demi spell you can draw from diablos actually works on him, which makes the fight significantly easier. Do it 2 or 3 times, hit him with a limit break and hes toast.

@Aerynolae Ай бұрын

Wait, fr? I never attempted it before cuz it's a boss, and bosses are commonly immune to gravity spells. Even 9-yr-old me never tried it. Man, that would've been a helpful tip as a kid.

FF8 had the most "epic" story. The unique places, the large scale battles, etc. Each cutscene felt really unique and memorable. Sorceress's, space monsters, lunatic Pandora, time compression.. everything was so interesting. Music 10/10. Triple triad 10/10.

This is the game that I 100% back on PS1 and it took me about 93 hours to do so - unlock everything, get best weapons, kill Omega Weapon etc. etc. It was so long ago - we still had old CRT tvs in our apartment - one in the living room and one really small one in my parents bedroom. Since they were mostly watching larger TV in living room, I played this game on small (like 10 inch) CRT and still managed to do everything that it had to offer to me. I cannot say how much I loved it as my first Final Fantasy game (and how much I love goddamn Eden raid in XIV for giving this game so many cool little references)

@YamiOnYouTube Ай бұрын

@@YamiOnKZfaq well you only get her second special after you were in space, so its use is limited. And the long cast animation can be annoying, but the endfight is a breeze, you basically have the same buildup as you did. Maelstrom, invincible, aura. Just give her high speed + autohaste/haste and she will instantly cast again, so she can land several Meteor before the enemy will even think about attacking. Maybe i'll do a video and upload it on my main channel.
