Nope.

Yes.

It had awesome music

Whatever.

Do you want to go to Balamb garden OP ?

I know the secret for doing it.

Maybe.

If dubs then yes

I enjoyed it

When you find a T-Rex, don't escape and FIGHT IT.

This will unlock the best ending

Whatever.

I'm a hardcore fan with FF8, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in Balamb Garden where I would often train with Zell in the training center and help Selphie with the Garden Festival, but one day as I was talking to Selphie, we went to my dormitory for a private talk. She immediately said, "You know you could live with us forever.." I gave her a confused look and she continued, "We understand that you live on earth and you REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" She then giggled and said "Because we've been watching you, silly!"

This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. She then said, "I talked with Headmaster Cid and he agreed that you would be PERFECT for SeeD, you just have to do...one thing". She then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You have to kill yourself for the transfer to work correctly." I then gave her some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" She then said "Cid said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." She giggled again, "Suicide will require pain buuut...if you want it quick...Get a gun and a nice shot to the head works.

I then agreed and she gave me a kiss on the forehead, "I know this will be tough but once it's over and done, you'll get to live here!" I then woke up and this was last week and i purchased a gun. I might actually kill myself because that dream just felt too real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.

If you do end up playing it, stick with it.

There are dull parts. Alot of them are at the beginning and this is unfortunate.

Squall is dead:

Squall is master of the ellipses.

Great thread, guys.

Yes. The story is good fun up until disc 3, and even then the gameplay is fun. I actually liked the junction system.

Also, DAT TRIPLE TRIAD. RELEASE A PSN VERSION NOW GOD HOLY MOTHER FUCK.

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, SELPHIE!

>>102265634
How could you write and post this in three minutes?

>>102265634

Thank you.

And yes OP, it's worth playing. Not the best FF by any means, but still imaginative, fun, and deep. And fucking awesome soundtrack.

Yes. The game does some interesting things, both in terms of battling/leveling systems and plot. The beginning in Balamb garden and most of Leguna's scenes are particularly unique. There are several plot points, however, that will leave you groaning and may break the game for you.

Overall, I think it's a neat historical piece for Square descent into its current madness. 7 took several steps forward in tone and style from its predecessors, but 8 throws everything out the window completely. 9 goes back to classic style, only to have the series go rogue again with 10, then further and further after that until it loses all sense of identity.

Good 'ol copypasta.

I used to think it was not very good. But compared to recent trends in the series, and the genre entirely, it is basically now a gem.

At least listen to the soundtrack.

Let's talk about the best part of the whole game.

It's copypasta.

You must have just recently come to /v/.

>>102265752
I'm gonna give you a minute to rethink what you said.

Yes. First time honestly, and then another time just to see how badly you can break the game using Card Mod and the guy fishing at Balamb Town's dock.

>>102265351
I would argue that it's better than 7.

In fact, X-2 is better than 7 as well.

So yes, 8 is amazing.

I'm a hardcore fan with TF2, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in 2fort where I would often train with Demoman in the Spiral and help Engineer with protecting the intel, but one day as I was talking to Heavy, we went to the spawn room for a private talk. He immediately said, "You know, comrade, you could live with us forever.." I gave him a confused look and he continued, "We understand that you live on earth and REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" He then let out a "HO HO HO!" laugh like he does and said "Because, much like KGB in Soviet Russia, we watching you, silly tiny baby!"

This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. He then said, "I talk with Administrator and she agree that you would be PERFECT for 10th class, you just have to do...one itsy bitsy tiny thing". He then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You must kill self for transfer to work correctly." I then gave him some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" He then said "She said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." He let out another "HO HO HO!" again,and said "Suicide require pain, but...if you want it quick...Get gun. Nice crit shot to head works."

I then agreed and he gave me half his sandvich. "I know this will be tough," he said, "but once over and done, you get to live here! If you're still hurting after, we'll just get Doktor to heal you up." I then woke up and this was last week and i purchased a gun. I might actually kill myself because that dream just felt too real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.

Ultimecia is the best FF villain of all time:

People want her dead many generations before she is even born and even found an organization that trains mercenaries that more or less only exist to kill her especially after the events of FFVIII. After she is actually born and people find out who she is she has to fight against the aforementioned mercenaries even if she hasn't done anything wrong yet. Not only she manages to survive against this unjust persecution she manages to win against the SeeDs of her time becoming a "cold-blooded tyrant" ruling over her time period putting her to a similar position where Kefka is in FFVI's World of Ruin and chances are she was in it longer than just a year like Kefka.

However unlike Kefka's case this still isn't enough as everyone including her knows that "legendary SeeD" from past are supposed to appear to kill her. Obviously she isn't thrilled about the idea of getting killed so she comes up with the idea of Time Compression in order to get around her fate. While she is possessing Edea and others in order to find Ellone to be able to cast her Time Compression she also accomplishes all of the following (actually committing the crimes she was already hunted down for):
-she manages to kill a president (without needing to use a ten foot long sword for that like certain mama's boy did)
-destroy a Garden, almost destroying other one as well
-start a war
-release a tyrant
...not bad especially if you consider that she isn't even in the same century as any of them.
Fun fact: these accomplishments are surprisingly similar feats to what Sephiroth accomplishes in FFVII.

Anyway back to Ultimecia: after she has successfully casted her Time Compression she is a much more of a god than Kefka ever was as she is in control of all time and space of FFVIII's world during all time periods.

>>102266107
>No Sephiroth
>Better than 7

Yes. It's a good game. A bad FF, but a good game.

Continuing about her motives:
After the events of FFVIII people know that sorceress called Ultimecia will be born and will rise to power in the "distant future". Due to this SeeDs have a mindset of every sorceress after Edea and Rinoa having the chance to become Ultimecia and thus will attack and persecute them for generations regardless of whether or not they have done anything wrong. Eventually one of those sorceresses breaks down from the hatred she has endured and proclaims herself as Ultimecia. The fear and hatred toward Ultimecia created an Ultimecia of reality.

This Ultimecia was strong enough to defend herself against this unjust persecution and win against the SeeDs of her era becoming a "cold blooded tyrant" ruling over everyone. However this still wasn't enough as everyone including her knows that "Legendary SeeD" from the past are supposed to appear to kill her.

Obviously she isn't thrilled about the idea of getting killed so as a time/space specialized sorceress she comes up with the idea of Time Compression in order to get around her fate. The point of time compression is to gather the power of Hyne (god who created FFVIII's world) which in turn is spread along sorceresses. Compressing time would allow Ultimecia to gather all that power regardless of where and when those other sorceresses are making her a goddess in control of everything in FFVIII's world and thus being able to defy her fate and avoid getting killed. Ironically successfully compressing time also allows Squall and co to appear out of nowhere to kill her which was the very thing she wanted to prevent.
