To this day I think Pandemona is the strangest FF summon I’ve ever seen. One part parrot, one part dinosaur, one part vacuum cleaner

This game is such a happy part of my childhood ❤. Diablo was always my favorite summon.

i'm 40 yr old but this still remain me the best FF...

The ending was epic, with Eden finishing Omega Weapon. Great job!

The Minotaur Brothers animation always cracked me up, no pun intended.

These animations will never get old. Theyre burned into my memory FF8 was the first one I ever saw/played. Was a liiittle kid and Id watch my dad play. Never really quite got the story then, but man were the visuals striking. We'd work on it slowly but surely over time, and I started to understand it more and more. Then we got FF9 too, and that quickly became my favorite in whole series. Also remember my mom used to haaate the Diabolos animation. We'd tease her by telling her to look at the screen when we cast him

My first Final Fantasy game I got for Christmas. Still my favorite too.

I used to have no freaking idea what Eden is doing. Now i understand, it descends to Earth, warp the location of space-time that the enemy is on and centres it above itself before blasting the enemy into the blackhole at the centre of a galaxy. What an overkill, then again, Sephiroth did something more ludicrous i guess

Shoutout to Quetzalcoatl filling in for Ramuh! Loved his design in the game.

Sembra una vita fa ....quanta nostalgia, un gioco meraviglioso il migliore in assoluto dei giochi di ruolo ,il migliore come storia ,il migliore in tutto

Man this takes me back to the good days!

I feel like getting torn from Earth's bonds, dragged through a wormhole and then exploded in the centre of another galaxy would do more than 56510 damage 😂

I like how you used some of the more odd and rarer locations to do the summons in. That hockey rink really only comes up once or twice. Also GLORY to Phoenix. That colorful bird saved my happy ass 3 times in the Weapon fight

Great job with this video! All diff location and opponents! A lot of planning and effort on your part. :)

Selphie summoning doomtrain: that’s classy ❤️

It's crazy how FFVIII looks so good when remastered and runs on 60fps like seriously. Also, nice video editing skill and presentation!

I know them by heart. Just have to close my eyes and here they are. Yet, it pops and I NEED to see it... Great stuff

9:45 Cool! Bahamut vs Tiamat! I always prefer Tiamat's color scheme more than Bahamut. FFVIII GF like Shiva, Ifrit, Diablos and Bahamut are always my favorite summon beast designs in whole FF series.

Life is what happens between Eden's animation and its actual attack LOL

Always bothered me that Cactuar and Tonberry summons didn’t retain their boss fight designs of Jumbo Cactuar with his mustache and Tonberry King with the crown.

I thought the 4K resolution would finally help me understand what I'm looking at when Eden is summoned.

My first FF and will always be my favorite. Still remember how mercerizing the special effects were when this first came out. There was nothing like it in the market. Square was on another level back then.

I remember being in school, on the library computers, at a time when the internet was still in its infancy... I downloaded short videos of some of the summons in anticipation for this game.

childhood memories 😭😍

The dev team were smart to outsmart the system limitations for the summons, since most or all the summons requires more memory than the specs. The game loads data slowly and shortly before the cutscene changes, and each cutscene has different data. The FF9 summons are more smarter in terms of data management, since they're more dramatical and the data constantly changes with each cutscene, they're loaded slowly and replacing the unused ones while the cutscene run I knew this by seeing the VRAM using pSXfin emulator

played this first time when i was in primary school. now i'm 35 and these still lingers in my memory especially diablo and alexander moves

This edit is SPOT ON! NO WAITING!

Great stuff. Feels weird seeing it in full speed. So used to the slowdowns on the native PS1.

The one thing FF8 Got Absolutely right were the Summons. My opinion they are the best iterations of the summons in the whole franchise.

Wow that's so weird seeing this after almost 25y and my mind still instantly remembers the "phantomfeel" in my hand how my old shock controller went off on each of the summons.

diablos had such an awesome character design. also fitting that you used him against red giant lol

Soooo amazing!!! This is my absolute fav Game ❤️❤️

I never had mog coz i never knew about pocket station lolz... oh my god, what a beautiful childhood ... You might wanna add gravier, he is the ultimate summon, by ultimecia

The brothers and Shiva are forever my fav (I wish Shiva did the finger snap like she does in 10)

Wow oh wow never seen Eden before. Damn that’s an op summon. Sending the boss to a galaxy and exploding it then falling back to earth. Stronger than super nova.

This video takes me waay back. 👍 Havn't played FF8 in 10 years i think and I'm still unsure what my favorite G.F. is... I guess Odins entrance was always super cinematic, but quetzalcoatl (no clue if my spelling is correct there) had this mix of elegance with the force of thunder? I think i have to stick with Ifrit though. Fire, brute force and this stoic move acending on a Ball of molten rock... plus we all actually subjugated him as our first G.F. Definively my number 1.

Crazy how much the graphics are improved over original lol

I do really like odin the zantetsuken

Ohhhhhh. How I miss the days spending hours and hours getting lionheart on disc 2. Ahhh....The memories.

The only ff I ever completed I think I still have the save game in my PS 1 memory card

Shiva, Diablos and Doomtrain my faves.

Oh man, I was the nerd who found them all, and I used to help my friends at school and draw them a map where to go and where to draw. Good memories.

BROTHERLY LOVE is just epic 🤣🤣🤣

Boss themes are so epic with battle sound effects.

The Tonberry is an adorable little psychopath, but I still want one.

I remember smashing the square button on this one! The best summons! Nice animation and variety where summons actually mattered!

Im 42 years old..i love every game final fantasy... specially this game and FF VII cloud,tifa, Barrett....i loving so much

Strange, this is how I remember it in my memory, the graphics were fantastic for that time

FF8 ifrit and bahamut had imo 2 of the coolest animations of all the recurring summons in the franchise imo

This makes me so happy

Those were the days

Some of the summons, any by some, I mean almost all of them, are so epic and cool

Muy buen juego... lo jugué con 17 años y la verdad que siempre me ha parecido impresionante y sobretodo las invocaciones 👍😎

Amazing Quality

Seeing them in 60fps is both awesome and weird

holy sht the features on trauma here. when i played it back then i know its just a huge floating gold

Beautiful

This is so super good

I've beat the Omega Weapon, but I'd never have figured I could get Eden into the fight somewhere. I just gave all my characters the Hero Drinks I got from cashing Laguna's card for about forty minutes, while keeping Squall on his limit using Lionheart.

Great. This power from all G. F.

No matter how many times i've seen it i never understood what exactly is happening during Eden summon

3:51 You can’t convince me that this isn’t what they based rayquaza on

1998 was a wild year. Stuffed crust pizza and a legendary line up of games (new franchises and old alike.) It was a good time to have Playstation.

My first and favourite FF game. I love it!🥰 Odin was my favourite GF! 😀

THANK YOU MCINDUS

All these years and there where some summons i still never found 😆

Curative effects are the most effective attacks against undead enemies, with Holy elemental being the second best and Fire elemental being the third best. Using Ice elemental against Abadon? Consider me R1'ed.

Honestly I think these are some of the best summon animations. Eden is especially impressive.

Never mind, 10:30 beats all of these in sheer insanity. It was like an LCD trip.

Ojala Algun dia Saquen un Excelente Remake de este juegazo, yo me lo pase muchas veces en el Ps1 y saque todo, es el mejor game Ojala Square enix nos lea y saque un buen Remake

FF VIII is the first FF that I played and finished. Hence, it gave me a lot of memories and considered it as the best. I replayed it several times already including the remastered version on my switch. 😆

Odin is still the cleanest to this day RIP

I really like FF VIII the most

It's been decades but i still dont know where eden's head is.........

that good ol' day.. when every char's a summoner 😎

It's still missing the other Gilgamesh weapon uses though.

Sound effects for Eden are still wrong over the original, the moment the clock stops time it rang a large bell sound. And the moment when you see them in the beam and the camera pans away it's like a laser type noise which made it awesome to listen too

This actual 60 FPS!? This is amazing! How'd you do it?

Makes me wish they would use diablo as a summon more often. His has always been favorite

FFVIII had the best summons.

It would be really cool if VIIR could incorporate some of these summons into the next games. Also some of the crazy summons from VI could be brought over too

Shiva most beautiful at FF8

Best Game of all time! 💙

5:12 is amazing my bros

Eden is Baddass

Final fantasy 8 tem umas summons muito boas a minha preferida é o eden e bahamut

The best version of all FF series!

How to adjustment for this game from 30fps to 60 fps? Could you please to advise?

I love it!

Very cool. Maybe I am miss-remembering (it has been ages since playing this) but weren't there two other Bahamuts you could get (Neo and Zero)?

diablos & shiva still my fav ❤

This is sick on 60 fps. If they ever remaster the OG 3D Trilogy 60 fps is a nice welcome to quality of life

Execelente vídeo

This is the last thing you wanna see after playing this game lol. I can't believe they didn't add the option to skip GF animations in the remaster.

Comment your favorite guardian force from FF8. Mine is Diablos with Jumbo Cactuar being a close second.

my favorite ff title :) how find momba minimog Boko i don`t see in ff8 or on which places ??

Always did love Bahamut! Here be dragons! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Can this be use on the steam FINAL FANTASY VIII (original one)?

weren‘t there excalipoor, masamune & excalibur attacks from gilgamesh?

I bought this game on day one and lost my job over it a week later because I was fighting a boss battle and had missed using the save point earlier lol. Anyway, I think my favorite GFs were Brothers, Diablos and Doomtrain. The later ones are cool but I hardly saw them because conventional attacks do much more damage later in the game.
