@@rommelthedesertfox3089I can agree with COD being shit that's true, same game different years and the masses eat it up. But I really don't think FF8 was as bad as people make it out to be. Sure the game is unbalanced and busted and it too easy to limit spam and get OP stats right off the bat, but I still think it was fun and the characters and story was enjoyable. Some of FF9 character designs seemed awful personally (Amarant, Stiener, Quina or a few to say the least). The combat was better balanced sure, but I think 9 had so many bad parts too.

Also, Versus budget was non-existent, even though it was announced for 7 years before it got cancelled. They just did not work on it.

You know Square Enix, when it comes to FF VIII, they want to quickly turn around and run away. Even back when FF7, FF9, FF10 and FF12 came for the PS4, Square Enix didn't want to bring FF8, instead other developers brought the FF8 Remastered for Square Enix. Square Enix didn't do anything for the 25th anniversary of FF8, just an interview where they said they didn't want a remake of FF8, which to me sounds like the same excuse as to why they didn't want to bring FF8 to the PS4, supposedly the source code was lost or something. So we'll never get an FF8 remake, there are rumors about an FF9 remake, which is the same pattern as back then, FF8 is just skipped and ignored again.

@TehGriffzor 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately a different time. And SNES games were, maybe, half the price of PS games at the time. So that’s a big contributing factor. Doesn’t take away that it’s a beast of a game. As far as 15, people had been hyped for the game since it had been in production literally for 10 years. So when it came out, myself included, everyone was ready for that next mainline FF title. Personally, I think it was a mess at launch. Royal Edition fixed a good chunk of it, but overall a flawed game.

@Eversoul12 3 ай бұрын

15 is waaaay better than 16. I say this and i didnt even like 15. They both feel half assed and sacrifice too much of the FF DNA. hell there are hardly any monster types in 16 at all. the only thing that makes it recognizable as FF is the Eikons. 15 at least had a ton of staple monsters and gameplay variety. it helped that the dungeons werent just empty hall ways too. gear loadouts actually did more than raise dps slightly too.

Wow, I had no idea that FFVIII (kind of my first FF) had silently and slowly surpassed FFX in sales so many years after their release... weird, I wonder what pushed that to happen? Ha! Take that FFX! lol. VIII needs a remake even more than VII did, imo. Anyways, it's amazing to see the power of Sony's marketing hype-machine at work for FFVII, making it the first FF and/or JRPG for millions outside of Japan. It's too bad pre-VII FFs (on NES and SNES) couldn't see the same level of worldwide success, but that was when they believed that JRPGs wouldn't sell in the west before they even seriously tried (partly why a game like FF Mystic Quest got made... which I see is is left off of this list, lol... would probably be dead last anyways I'm sure).
