After waiting what feels like an age for a re-release or decent port of Final Fantasy8, Final Fantasy 8 Remastered is almost upon us! What's cool though, is that it features a whole host of changes compared to the original game and perhaps the most obvious is the spruced up graphics.
Outside of that Final Fantasy 8 Remastered gameplay has been tweaked, with loads of modifications and new animations and it means that the comparison versus the original game may feel quite stark.

Thanks for watching!
We're beyond excited to play Final Fantasy 8 all over again... so much nostalgia! We hope you guys enjoyed the video - how many of you are intending to pick the game up on the 3rd Sept? (which is coincidentally Darryl's birthday, so thanks for the nice birthday present Square Enix!)
Happy early bday Darryl!!! What a bday gift from Square! Im definitely picking it up on Tuesday!
I just preordered it on steam. It comes with 2 wallpapers.
I'm all over it
I will be happily getting in on switch that gap between 7 and 9 was triggering me
At least someone's else's happiness is good news happy b day for you 🙄💛
My first Final Fantasy. Holds a very special place in my gamer heart.
My first too, hits hard this game does
It was my first Final Fantasy too, my 11 year old mind wasn't ready for such a great game.
Same so excited I’ve never even able to play the full game my stepdad had a ps1 demo disk with a small demo of FF8 on it and as a kid I would play it over and over, now I will finally be able to experience the full game
I remember playing this whilst grounded and without a memory card for a bit. I left my PS2 on hidden under some clothes for like a week. Suprised it didn't overheat. Waking up at 4 am to play it in my room before school and after my parents fell asleep. It was my first Final Fantasy and still my favorite FF story.
@@MagiaErebea028 was it the Pizza hut demo? I had that one and played it constantly when I was at my grandma's. Got it like 3 years later when the Ps2 came out and loved it! still haven't beaten it but I plan to come September 3rd.
RIP the handsomest guy here meme lol
game ruined.
My disappointment is immeasurable...
And my day has been ruined
At least he still drink with his eyes.
That meme will never die
They should have kept the graphics for that one scene just to keep the meme alive
FF8 is my most beloved entry of all the FF games. The story was extremely touching, the music score was beautiful and the characters were all relatable. Now as an adult I’m so excited to replay this game and enjoy it again! This channel has brought back some old feels from when I was young, thank you!
Playing 8 now.
To say I am hooked would be an understatement.
The feeling of the game is SOOOOOO GOOD!!
Glad your enjoying it. I had a hard time getting into it at first because I didn’t really understand how to level your gf’s abilities and the junction system because I’m stupid, but as soon as I got it it was awesome and I replayed it immediately after finishing it to try to optimize the gf’s and characters stats as early as possible
@@ayylmao578 yep yep
I had to restart it due to realising that the PC port that I had been playing and loving had wrong audio.
I didn't like it by it was fun in the end.
@@patman_for_sure I had to mod the same port with the original ost so it wouldn’t sound like midi shit lmao
@@ayylmao578 yep yep 😂😂
Although, I actually did grow attached to the bad sound, especially the map and intro themes.
Very weird. 😂
8 was a game that I never finished due to school and sports eating up my time. Pretty excited to have another chance at it.
Indeed. I cant remember if I ever finished it either. So it's nice to have a better version to do so.
Just remember to actually watch the tutorials on junctioning and how to refine or draw spells. Many ppl think the game is repetitive/boring because they mass spam the free summons and never make their characters any good.
@@timlamiam my first playthrough I didnt do much wit junction bc I didnt really understand it at that time, my 2nd+ was a god lol was at point juz about any kind of magic attack healed me
@@timlamiam Absolutely this... I had so many friends that complained how boring combat was, because all they did was spam those summons. I suppose FF7 would have been boring too if all I did was summon Knights of the Round over and over. (not to mention twice as long and not in a good way). Haha!
Fearless Composer well we are two different people with different life experiences but I’m glad you were able to fit it in and play it. Not the case on my end.
Since you can toggle encounters on and off, I think changing Diablo a bit would be in order. Maybe keep half (or get rid of it) but with Encounter None, replace that with "Encounter Rare" where it ups the rate for rarer monsters in the area (and also gives them a level boost).
"Dad, why is a 20-year old game the most anticipated these last couple of months?"
"Well son, let me tell you a beautiful story. Back in the day, there was a great man called Hironobu Sakaguchi, working for a company called Square and decided to make an RPG called Final Fantasy.............."
Haha. Right. Our generation is awesome. We get to share it with our kids now.
This is a beautiful comment. I like the newer final fantasy games but Christ the old ones always get me excited and for me it's not the nostalgia. The soundtracks and the stories always feel close to home. I could lose my memories and play the old final fantasy games again and still fall in love with everything presented.
Reminds me of my brother who always played this with me watching. We basically lost contact, I miss you, Joe ❤️
Though September is absolutely packed for me in terms of game releases this is definitely a day one pick up, though i kind of hope (though i doubt it) somewhere down the line they would do a physical release for this game, having 8 on a cartridge even if they put it at full price is still a day one purchase for me !
Also Thank You for this video, i didn't know a good bit in terms of the changes so this was informative !
My favourite game of all time, no doubt! Played it when I was around 10/11 years old and have played it through a few times since. The game was an important part of my childhood. Look forward to trying this out!
Did you ever get around to playing the remaster? How was it?
1. squall doesn't look like his fmv counterpart anymore.
2. FF VIII is still up there with VII
Lol since when 8 has been up there with 7? Those are 6, 9, 4 and X. why do you think FF 8 wasnt available anywhere while all other FF games including 12 have receive a lot of attention? Because FF 8 SUCKS, thats why. I still gtting because it was my 1st FF and the OST kick ass and is pretty fun game to break, but stop with the nonsense of "The game is the greatest or is high there" because if that was the case then why took square so long?
agreed. squall doesnt have the same perma angry scowl anymore.
How cool would it be if they put actual effort in and made him look like squall at least the original pixelated version had the same face. Square enix will do anything to cut a few corners.
@@raulrojas9253 VIII is vastly superior to X in every substantive way save battle system. Story, characters, and world blow it away. Easily a top five FF.
I got this a few days ago and it's been so much fun to replay! I was 16 when I first played this almost 20 years ago. I even dug out my old walk through guides 😁 must say that the 3x option is brilliant when drawing magic...I also forgot how much I used to play triple triad as that is probably the best side game in any ff ever
The fan-made images of Squall at 4:47. I can't stop laughing.
There will be an option for No Encounters. I wonder if Diablos will still have Enc-Half and Enc-None, though.
I wonder if that option will work on the Deep Sea Research Center, where even when using Enc-Non you'd still face scripted random encounters.
That might be worth the buy now that you mentioned it. I hated getting far just to get ambushed by a Ruby Dragon that hits 9999 on my entire party.
@@nathanlamont9920 new players won't understand this pain, so nostalgic it was terrible but, it was part of the game, and now probably it's gone
@@ravenly8104 new players and casuals because that area was optional. FF8 is one of my favorites but that part is near game breaking. Once you get pass the scripted monsters, enc none works but you will lose out on AP trying to avoid being OHKOed by random monsters.
@@nathanlamont9920 you shouldnt need AP at that point anyway. Get all your AP on cactaur island where they give you more than any other enemy in the game. Also hell island to quickly hit max lvl due to leveling up at least once every battle.
Whoa, I literally just started playing the original Final Fantasy 8 today. Good timing. Can't wait to pick up the remaster.
@Blackwolf MGTOW Stop flirting with me.
Honestly speaking the best songs and themes of all the Final Fantasy come from this game.
There are some really good ones in the other Final Fantasy but VIII wins the standing ovation by a mile.
I pretty much remember every single song of every single area of this game...
Ever since I was a kid, I always wished a newer version of the game would make Edea, Laguna, Kiros, and Ward permanent party members. I thought somebody would've modded them in the game eventually, but alas. Oh well, this looks great and I can't wait to play the Remastered version!
Omg. 3 times speed would have been so helpful back in the day when I use to farm in that one Garden Hockey ice rink to level up abilities from the GFs. I love the no random encounter option to for exploring certain areas.
I'm in love with squall lionheart, his face, body,his characther so cool,i was even change my hair style like rinoa lol
Now if only they'd have reworked the magic system a bit so you could actually cast spells without feeling like you're wasting precious resources.
Or make the junction system scale up to 100, while being able to stock up to 150/200...
Thanks so much for the rundown! VIII will be the second Final Fantasy I ever play and I'm super excited.
What was your first?
@@davidgallagher28 I think my profile picture gives it away. ;)
One summer my neighbor got me into Final Fantasy, that summer I borrowed and went through 7, 8, and 9. I am very excited to have all 3 at my fingertips. Honestly none of the other FF games have REALLY gotten me going like these 3, and I have been having a hankering for 8.
Having never played 8 for more than the intro, I'm looking forward to it 20 years after it came out originally. Only main entry I've never beaten, besides 1-3 on NES. FFVIII has an epic soundtrack just like the others.
FF8 introduced me to RPG's ... When i first saw the intro i was like wtf is this ,it was something different ... Cant wait to play it again
Still the best video game intro ever created
Trans?
Already bought mine cant wait to download an play it on ps4 😍😍😍😍
Same 5 hours left im pulling an all nighter
The first and favorite game I've ever played! I still play it today using emulators.. 😍😍😍
I still have my original copy in flawless condition.
Im Just hoping Sony/Konami finds an initiative to revive the Bloody Roar series. And the Legend of Dragoon
My mom bought me and my twin our first ps one for our 7th b day and off VIII was the first game , four disc, at first we were lost what kind of game is this , and in a short time this became our favourite game , CANT WAIT TO PLAY THE REMASTERED VERSION .
I'm glad they added to and upgraded aspects of the game, but it makes no sense for them to remove others. For instance, you can't customize the controls, and full 360 degree movement offered from the analog stick is also strangely absent; the stick still works but you are limited to moving in 8 directions only. I understand this feature was removed in the PC/Steam versions of the game because people were generally playing that with a keyboard, but why did they leave it out for the remaster???
I preordered it the other day and man these last few days to wait are the hardest ! Played the original when I was like six and now I'm almost 20 and now that it's so close it feels so far qwq
Still have my ps2 final fantasy 8. Who knows how well it works.
It came out on the PS1
Allowing me to instantly get all items and play at 3x speed. Instant SOLD on steam it is then. I love playing JRPGs but when it comes to replaying older ones I just want the option to power thru the game as fast as possible so I can enjoy the story again. I just don't have the time as an adult to grind like I used to.
This was the first Playstation 1 game I ever played. Had to play at my cousins house because I was stuck on N64 at the time. Needless to say I had a Playstation within the month with every Final Fantasy title I could get my hands on. Long live SquareSoft.
I would be hyped if they hadn't turned the 2D backgrounds into blurry mud like they did with 7 & 9. That alone makes it unplayable to me as they seem out of focus to my eyes and I get a headache.
Yes, the PS1 backgrounds are low resolution. But they're still the best version available and turning them into a poorly defined soup of low detail color smears is not an improvement.
"Now you can turn off encounters!"
Diabolos is like: NOO! That was my ONLY useful feature you bastards! Now I'll never get out of that lamp!
Does the remaster still have the issue with time compression still being there after completing the narrative? The game just limits you to Ultimecia's Castle after you defeat Sorceress Adel.
I still wish they’d make a Laguna time period game.. probably my favorite ff character of all time.
Seriously can't wait! This was the first final fantasy I played as a kid and to see it brought back makes me so happy!
Sweet, the poketstation exclusive stuff will be available via angelo's search ? :P
I was afraid it was going to be left out again.
I was going to buy it but seeing I missed the preorder by an hour and dont get the ps4 theme now I dont think I will. They should offer the theme for the purchase in general. It's sad. Hopefully they will make it available. I'll wait till then. o7
the highspeed mode I think is mostly useful for leveling up characters. That's how I used it in the ff7 switch port. Makes random battles way faster.
I love how FF8 is finally getting its flowers
Nooo.... mah chocobo. I remember playing it one third of main game time
It also killed the 100% Speedruns
I'm kinda disapointed with the remaster. I think they could have done a lot more with it if they wanted to. I'll still get it and play it, but it looks like ass in many places/ways.
Nivram Smith it’s not censored all they did was coverup the sirin bitch stfu
@@jakeaffleck3307 Are you making a joke? That's literally censorship.
Alright, time to go back to my childhood milf like character, Quitis.
Milf? Shes 18 bruh 😆
@NPC# 8675309 In other cultures, 16 is like the best age to get married and pregnant. Just saying.
@NPC# 8675309 Why are u even commenting? It is just a comment. You don't have to be an SJW or a freaking kid who gets offended by everything in the world. Also, it is really gonna look bad on you because Child Marriage is a part of human history. I am not saying it is a great part of human history but your lack of understanding in this actually shows that you lack general knowledge about stuff that actually happens around the world. It also shows that you are those people who complain, whines and get offended by things you are not familiar with or even ignore other peoples culture.
It is not about appropriating the practice of it but it is about acknowledging that these things actually happen. If you don't believe then just read on the stuff. Like this = en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage
If my memories are correct, it is not a big change to the PC 3dfx version.
squall looks so childish, I wish they kept him looking a bit more rough/angsty
I ain’t buying it for that reason
looks like a cute little girl
As a general rule I never buy remakes/remasters of old games but in this case I'll make an exception. The improvement in the visuals in this game is incredible. Again, I've never been one to make a big deal out of graphical quality in games but even with the original playstation game the in game graphics were pretty rough. I'm disappointed that there's no physical release for this game but I'll buy it nonetheless.
Own the 2013 release, don't think I'm going to pick this one up. At least not for a very long time. The upgraded visuals to everyone is very nice except I don't really like care for the modern take on Squall's appearance (Dissidia Squall). I wonder if they made similar facial edits to Raine's or do they just not share a resemblance anymore. Either way, glad games getting some attention.
I do have one gripe and thats not having physical copies: Not everyone has internet to download games.
Other than that, I'm excited!
Can’t wait. I preordered it already! My first ever FF.
I wish they'd try and replicate the character models from the cutscenes and not just slap those generic anime mugs from dissidia on them. The PS1 version was blocky, but it was obviously aiming to replicate those CG characters. Now they look like completely different people.
THE TIME HAS COME! PREORDER THIS GAME, I SHALL. owo
@Jesus Christ it's more fun this way.
Are all..at least MOST of the old exploits still available? Can we still obtain Lionheart on disc1? What about obtaining Selphie's final LB?
*Locks in the signal, and pulls into the rift.*
2:03 White!
i always knew its was pure for her jolly personality.
I wish they could add extra hard mode in the game mechanics cause once you grind it’s gets awfully easy :/
Don't grind...
After Midnight Munchies even so, the game itself is easy cause bosses adjust their HP based on your level, both ways the game IS not hard enough. Even if you compare it to other FF games, occasionally few bosses. There should be an option mechanic like less items to carry, less magic pages, limit level cap and such
I wish the Chocobo World was available on the Switch at least.
hm removal of chocobo world is sort of a bummer; gonna experiment with doggo I guess
Every raining snowing day I would play this game as a kid defd buying it
Yea, few years ago I got tired of waiting. I put this title on my phone. I play it anywhere anytime if I choose.
I'm glad there's no voice acting. Was a real turn off for me after FFIX
Ok
I'm enjoying the remake. FFVIII is one of my favorite games, and I haven't been able to play it since my PS1 crashed four or five years ago. Its soundtrack is awesome, and I'm glad that was preserved -- EXCEPT for the horrendous rescoring of "The Landing" that plays during the siege of Balamb Garden. I'm only up to the White SeeD ship scene so far so I'm not sure if this sort of thing happens elsewhere in the soundtrack, but I hope not.
Final Fantasy 8 *SJW* Edition
I decided not to buy the game after censorship was announced. I still have the original PlayStation copy.
Maybe I misheard you regarding 9999, but we’re you saying that we can actually exceed that limit in the remaster?
I remember FFX spoiling me with the celestial weapons, and how I wish I could exceed the dreaded 9999 in FF8.
Eden and Quistis's Shockwave Pulsar can exceed the limit.
Give all those cheats and boosters, I will never play using those.
Right its unnecessary to add that stuff. This game is too good to be cheating.
Yes I got it early and I've already put in roughly 20hrs and I'm having s blast!!
Joe Deleon does it still have the exploit where the game is beaten easily by staying lowest level?
@@coryhafer7285 yes enemies still lvl up as you do
i like how you dont mention the story as a high point
My first FF... but if any FF is “forgotten” and “pushed aside” for other FFs...is IX.
9 isn't forgotten. It's a timeless gem that is appreciated by the right people. If people don't like it for whatever reason, it's not for them.
Well fuck me. I already have Origins, V, Mystic Quest, VII, XIV and random endgame content in XV (already beat that one a long time ago, but have not come close to completing it) as well as Dissidia NT to finish AND more RPGs from other franchises... I guess I'll just have to add VIII to that insanely long list soon. Not day one, perhaps, but I would really like to play it.
Squall in 1999 looks like a Old School Runescape character.
Big gunblade fan and my favorite ff after 7...been almost 20 years and still want (and will have eventually) a gunblade tat similar to Brock Lesnar's chest tat positioning
great video man. glad i found your channel
My favorite ff game returns. I love this game.
i love this game so much, its my favorite FF game, my wife and i even recreate the dance scene during our weddiing waltz, and i pay a jewler to make an exact replica of the squall's ring that i use all the time. thank you for this video men
yeah it's my favourite too. I love ff7 but if you played all final fantasies without music, this one is easily the best (u'd be surprised how much music has an effect on loving something, my favourite film was outsiders till it got re-released with different music ,now it doesn't even make my top ten)
We really need a Legend of Dragoon Remake. That game is criminally unknown.
That game was so dope.
alex Barbosa STAR CHILDREN!!!
Indeed. I was always jilted that Shana got that short end of the stick and thought long ago that if they ever would remaster it, they would make her a 'proper' character.
I'd pay full price for that
@@immortalweapon Dude I'd pay Premium for that. Heck I'd fund it.
Now I want to see a Chrono Cross remastered.
Alexander Barutti Azevedo Siqueira or Chrono trigger.
@@adrianjuarez8079 Or both =)
Don't do this, don't give me hope
Fuck yes!
Yes this would be great.
Final Fantasy 8 came out when I was 12 years old. I was having reading difficulties and this game pretty much cured them.
Awesome
That's awesome man
Sort of a same but opposite situation, I never had an ounce of trouble with homework and getting good grades in my early years, and I feel confident in crediting FF8 for that. The reading comprehension required to progress the story, especially at that age, helped immensely in making the rest of the elementary years somewhat effortless. It's one thing to read a book, where page 2 will always lead to page 3, but it's another thing entirely to piece together context clues and dialogue exposition to figure out the next step, especially when the game opens up the world to you.
Ff7 played so much I was reading by the end of the summer
Thats great man. Final fantasy helped me alot as a kid without many mates, and a home life that could be bad at times. I have a lot of love for these games.
The FF series has incredible music but FF8s score was just unforgettable and amazing
Whenever sang my songs
on the stage, on my own-
FF8 would really benefit from a remake...according to Nojima there wasn't enough time to implement the last 35-40% of the story. Also re-imagined Junction System, more lore, new activites, expanded areas, etc.
I agree. This game desperately needed a remake, not a remaster. It feels lazy. I would have happily waited another year or 2 for a full remake.
I feel they created the remaster to shut everyone up. Its a great game, but it is a shame they have neglected it so much.
@@Thesakuraharona I'm still holding out hope that a remake will come. It's weird that 7 came before 8 and got spin offs a movie and more but they never explored 8 or 9. 10 got 10-2 and 13 got what 3 games? 8 and 9 definitely need more love and attention
@@zleo7054 Come on, FFVII is by far the most popular in the series obviously.
@@CJTranceAddiction I'm not saying it's not but people really love the other games as well. How many people bought the FF9 remaster and will most likely buy the FF8 remaster? We are literally buying the same ps2 games with updates just to get our fill of our favorite games
@@zleo7054 I hear ya, but I'm just sayin the FFVII fanbase is so huge that Square HAD to go with that one for the remake. The materia system is arguably the best and most fun magic system in the entire series. I really do hope that FFVIII gets the FFVIIR treatment.
I'm SUPER excited to finally play this game. This was included on a demo disk I had when I was a kid, and now I finally get to experience the full game :D
Haha. That is how I first played FF. That pizza hut demo disc?
So I bought this and FF7 back in the day. Now I'm super excited for the FF7 remake and this remaster as well, cause its not just a port.
Brock McKelvey you’ll love it!
I have the demo from PlayStation Magazine.
Lol that's how I first played this game also
First time I ever saw final fantasy 8 was in Charlie's angels........my life is wierd
For some reason I never played this game when released, would you say without any nostalgia the game is worth giving a shot?
Absolutely! Final Fantasy 8 has its detractors, but we are both big fans of it. If you enjoyed 7 or 10, then you should hopefully like 8 as well
Yes
The gunman great character design and good story. Still a good game but not best in series.
played 7,8,9,10,10 2 , and 12 8 is by far my favorite story and gfs are just better plus squalls badass forget cloud keke
Bro just watching little animation videos are worth it
It gives nostalgia even if you’ve never played before
The most important thing for me was the complete overhaul of the backgrounds. Thanks squenix for going the extra mile not just remaster the polygon characters. Thanks!! :D
No wait, they were lazy again.
i know right? bilinear and linear filtering? its like their using computers from the early 90's to make video games still.
IMO better than nothing, the community GUM AI mod looks promising and maybe it might get other modders off their ass (including myself) in creating awesome backgrounds from the originals. IMO with these new sprites it gives us PC modders the best base for a new HD mod, I personally couldn't stand any of the sprite mods currently available.
Unless you plan to play on console OFC.
hopefully they do it with an update
@@dmaskell92 Look up OpenVIII as well. ;O
@@dmaskell92 except that it IS basically nothing. bi linear and linear filtering are literally just a blur filter, they do nothing else but blur a texture. they are NOT for upscaling. hell, even anisotropic filtering could be used INSTEAD of bilinear/linear, and it would looks massively better. HD backgrounds for this game, as well as every single asset period, exist. they are what anyone with any sense uses when they play it on steam. they were made by running the existing textures through ACTUAL filters meant to upscale things and look good.
The Remastering of the Dastardly Buchubuchus & Bunbuns that Assistant Commander Ellone oh-so-hates will have to be dealt with, so be ready.
😅😅😅
Omg excited to see how ellone will look now, she's always been so cute even with the old graphics!
I really hate that they used the dissidia models for the faces. they clash SO MUCH with the FMVs. really wish they'd be a bit more faithful to the old design.
I feel the same way about FFX remaster, Titus's eye color changed and Wakka got super fat. They definitely look less Asian and more western in this. I hate how Square Enix is obsessed with the euro look and white washes everything.v
I agree, most definitely for Squall at least. I'm okay with everyone else.
@@ViciousKurai Tidus' eye color has always been blue in both the old models, the FMVs and the artwork. Wakka has always had a chubby face and thick body as well. As for euro look and supposed "white-washing", you are clearly someone who is just looking to complain for no real reason. Squall was always designed to look like a white guy, as River Phoenix was Nomura's stated inspiration for the characters design, so he is not white washed in any way because he's already meant to be white. I could go on, but I think it makes sense to leave it at this.
Vicious Kurai the characters that were designed to look white are white washed? How does that make any sense?
Is nomura not allowed to create anything but asian characters cause he's asian? Now that's even worse than race washing 😂
@@ViciousKurai and the censorship of siren. But the accusations of whitewashing is a bit much.
One of my favorite games ever and a total overload of nostalgia for my teenage years and growing up. My wife and I even played Eyes On Me at our wedding. 🙂 Yeah, it would be great if they had done more with the backgrounds and whatnot but I'll take it in any form I can get! I was cleaning out under my stairs a few days ago and just so happened to find my old FF8 PS1 strategy guide. Lol. Can't wait for Tuesday!!!
CDInvictus I still have my old strategy guide as well and it’s still a big help on some tough situations.
Nice one man. That must have been so memorable. FFVIII means a lot to us fans. A friend of mine even named his daughter Rinoa.
@@ifritrivera315 Dang, that's legit!
The original soundtrack is basically the thing that confirmed my purchase on this. Can't wait to play it on Nintendo Switch.
They’ve changed the soundtrack slightly and it’s terrible!! I’m at the part where I’m doing the SeeD exam in Dollet and I’ve had to mute it because it’s so bad!!
A friend of mine no doubt is going nuts over the fact that this game is getting a remaster. Squall's his favorite character and FF8's his favorite game
I'm just glad this gives me a chance to actually play the game again. I never did see it through all the way to the end
I love selphie, she is savage
My favorite even still to this day
Sorry to hear u never finished it , you are in for a treat , at the very least , fight all the hidden bosses/gf
@@shadow4040 same here, only one i finished lol was 7 and recently (finally) X, for same reason,id play get so many hours in then get sidetracked for months come back and be lost so id start again .. then same thing get towards the end .. get bored or be under-levelled ... stop again .. 8 i think i did 3 diff play throughs at 50+ hours each ? if i remember right.. and never finished it ... x it took me about 5 plays to actually finish the story .. altho i skipped a lot of the other content which I really wish I had taken the time to do as well .. ff9 got sidetracked by the ps3, never finished altho think i started on 4-5 different occasions,ps2,vita and even pc .. now own on switch too lol, if i just find time to play it ...
I do like with the newer games how they have the recap in them so if u havent played for a while and sit down to play its like a mini refresher of what you were up to . I remember on 9 the one time i got a fair way into it, i was open world somewhere and wandering around lost, months later tried to remember what i was doing / couldnt trigger anything to remind me where i was , where i had to go etc .. so again .. gave up ..
I have a bad habit of taking long breaks right before the final boss if there are other side-quests and stuff for me to do, I did that for like 6 months on FF8 and my hard-drive got fried, have only seen parts of the end cinematic and final boss fight through theory videos.
Ah, the track when Ellone was a kid in that peaceful town. So much nostalgia...
Fragments of Memories

"It had a great cast of characters" Shows the scene where Selphie tumbles down a small hill. Yeah, she's a great character, that's for sure.
She was one of my favourites!
hahaha.
You know that all that motion maked real human dubbers? The dance scene was maked how was maked Avatar. the real actor with electronical dots on body and there its get to the animation....
@@Bynk333 what the hell are you trying to say
@@feerocomics5082 The characters in battles have realistical motion cause it was captured from real actors. so they mus have a great characters. :-) In FF it was used in first time.
Glad there is no voice acting. I have a clear imagination of what all their voices sound like, especially squal.
Even Seifer sounds like liquid snake in my head.
Are you not including their Kingdom Hearts versions then?
Never bothered to play that. Oh, the blasphemy!
Pink Pepper Seifer sounds like Lucius Malfoy to me lol
You probably don't play Opera Omnia, but everyone have voice there.
@@Esandeech2 lol well Squall does have a scar... although is isnt lightning shaped. Guess that would make quistess hermione and zell ron
Thank you for this... You've just made me even more hyped for 3rd September!
Release is the 3rd Semptember for PS4 ?
@@anthrazzit9219 yes
2 MORE DAYS!!!
Is this only available for R1?
@@r2rg R1?
8 is by far my favorite, but now that it's listed, the changes seem a bit underwhelming. The visuals looked amazing, but the other features leave a "meh" taste.
I know i was expecting abit more, i didnt notice the difference at first lol
Even the visual aren't really that great. There's a demo on youtube, and the characters are basically shining and floating on the backgrounds. Also, I can't understand why they changed Squall's hair..
They ruined Squall so its a no buy for me.
@@somebodies yes squall look like a tall babyface
I have my original copy and , yeah idk I thought they should remade it instead. The story, junction system, and the lore. A rare underdog of a masterpiece that’s only setback was graphical, IF that.
It's been 20 years now. I was 11.
I have a copy, but over the years I lost my memory card, my playstation broke. I'd never thought I'd see it or play it again. And with them saying they lost the source code I was devastated. Last night I found the pre order for the remastered. And man I watched it 4 times. I been crying non stop all day...
It's been 20 years. Thank you for this awsome video. Sums it all up
You never tried playing it on an emulator? That was the only way I could play it after my PlayStations broke. =)
@@scribble71891 sadly no. But I'm still so grateful. I'm actually still crying no joke 😭. I know it's just a silly old game. But my God it pulls my heart stings
@@scribble71891 I fill bad for my family cause I'm just randomly crying throughout the day.🤣
No joke. FF8 feels like my first crush for me. Listening to the soundtrack hits me in the feel like a doomtrain. Fuck, that windhill soundtrack and Laguna's back story makes me miss my first love. And the moment where Squall carries Rinoa on an abandoned railway all the way to another country just wrings your heart, it's one of those pure innocent years in your late teens where you would do anything for your first love, like they meant the whole world to you.
@@KyranSparda I was 14 when I first played ...we all kno what boys go through in those years, ff8 broke me down , first and only game to hit me like that and still make me tear up , I think now if I tear prolly the feels of nostalgia ....iam so excited only a few more hours ...ish..
Final Fantasy 8 was my first Final Fantasy game and my personal favorite.
it was my first one too
well DUHHHHH it was your first. 9 was my 6th FF and is by far my favorite.
Ditto
7 8 9 10 10-2 12 5 6 15 13 was my order :) and my top 5 are 7 9 10 12 8
- Visuals worse than FF 8 on Steam with mods
- Music at best on par with FF 8 on Steam with mods
- Less "optional features" (cheats) than for FF 8 on Steam, including no Chocobo World
On PC, this will be a clear downgrade with no upsides. At best, with Cheat Engine and more mods, it will be on the same level as the previous Steam release. Good job, SquareEnix.
This is how I feel. I'm still on the fence on buying this game because I have the mods installed on my Steam FF8. I guess this is for the console gamers more than the PC. The modding community fixed the game years ago. The game would be worth it if it had extra story/content in the game that fleshed out the story more. Perhaps a post game story or more Luguna scenes.
It probably is for console mainly. I own the pc version, but never got around to modding it because I can't afford to replace my computer should I accidentally download the wrong thing (still scarred from Sims 1 mod era lol). Any suggestions?
Honestly, I'm going to wait for the holidays and see if it goes on sale for ps4. I love the game, but I am not impressed by the changes they made.
@@Thesakuraharona There is no realistic way you can download the "wrong thing". Just download things from Steam forums/from the Steam guides that have multiple feedback and upvotes. They are all clean, basically "official" mods. No way you'll get any kind of malware when hundreds of people have used the same thing and it has been there, not-removed, in the forums, for years.
who needs cheats seriously why play with cheats at all ? the only one i think i would use is the -no encounter thing, and not to cheat, just to be able to save sooner. I remember falling to sleep so many times playing these games trying to find a save point and then OMG another random fight .. crap ...
FF8 is my favorite game in the series, and I am so excited to play it on my PS4 Pro
Same here Bro
Gray Fullbuster I loved it as well but couldn’t beat it and lost interest
@@timm285 rip
Same
Mine too! It’s such a beautiful game
Now that I know the background of this game, I'm going to give it a chance
What background? Like the plot? Better late than never , still my fav game to date
Jaipack the game is very enjoyable
Forgot the censorship. Rinoa’s shirt should be lower on top. Also, imagine how useful turning off encounters would be for the Heaven and Hell islands. Aura farming ftw.
