I was asked to kill myself in my dream, is this real?
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.

Tried liking this game but the battles were shit. Also, a game where you can just summon a GF (who has a ludicrous amount of health and you don't take damage while summoning) and kill anything with 0 challenge kind of lost me. I got up to disc 3 I believe.

This is why I don't emulate any PS1 Games unless they're completely 3D.

The problem with the Final Fantasy games is that they used a combination of 3D models and 2D backgrounds. When you emulate these games, the models look great but the background looks disgusting. You're only options are to either get a CRT TV or to emulate on the PSP. Or emulate in a window I guess...

No there isn't. Two things:

1. You shouldn't be summoning in the first place, unless you're a casual.

Thanks for looking at this page.
But there won't be any updates for a while.
That's because I, the Garden Festival chair,
will be leaving Garden.
I did not strive to be a SeeD, and
I won't even graduate.
I devoted all my time to the Garden
Festival, my passion...

But in the end, there was no Garden
Festival. That's 'cause no one
volunteered to help out.
But I have only myself to blame.
I thought I alone could pull it off.

I'll be starting a new life,
but I sincerely hope someone will
take over the Garden Festival committee!

Because it's cool to hate stuff.
As a fan of the game, I know it's heavily flawed, but most of his videos were about something he was doing on purpose to make the game look terrible, and then talking for 20 minutes about how he wasn't forcing it.
And that's not just FFVIII, most of his videos were like this.
Obivouly only someone really stupid would care a about it if they already liked the game.

People who get really mad just because someone is talking trash about a game they like.

I don't think you can pin that solely on FF8. FF9 and Chrono Cross also had that issue. Perhaps it's just indicative of that era of Square JRPGs.

I only used GF to keep playing while doing so or while going to the restroom.

Never really used GF much... i kinda maxed out with junction and keeped myself at starter level so GFs never did much for me... to just attack was enough.

I beated Omega that way too... despise the fucker being at level 100.

Not if they are overleveled as fuck.

When I first played the game, I never understood the junction system, but figured summoning was free and didn't drain MP, so that's what I did to every enemy that took more than one attack to kill.

If they're overleveled you can probably kill most enemies with a physical attack anyway.

Level up the GFs you get, and start trying to get high lvl magic as quickly as possible with their abilities (Card, card mod, synthesize items into spells with other gf abilities).

It's been at least 5 years since I last played FF8, so my memory is a bit hazy, but I remember junctioning 99 Curagas to my hp and getting 9999hp, and something ridiculous like Flare or Ultima to attack and dealing insane amounts of damage with Squall. The game was cake.

Just remember that enemies level with you, so have everyone in your party die except Seifer, then level him to 100 and suck out high level magics and give them to the rest of the party. That way, they can have really high stats without you having to gain levels, which are pointless in this game anyway. You can also open the case and flip through Selphie's limit breaks until you get the end.

>>no level up run
In FFVII, not leveling up makes the game easier, not harder. Everything, including story bosses, scales, and things lose important attacks if Squall is low level.

The game actually gets way harder if you level up, but don't spend AP intelligently or don't level up good summons.

It's not fun. FFVIII and FFXIII are both equally broken. Why they are video games and not TV shows, I have no clue.

If the new main series Final Fantasy was a CG movie or series of movies, wouldn't post-VII series fans be even happier? THey hate gameplay, particularly since gameplay in FFs has always been horrible, and at VII it outright disappeared.
>>

>Yes it was in FF8 too
No, the only PSOne FF that skips sumons is FFIX.

I remember absolutely hating it as a kid. I didn't care about anything but summons in those games. Summons or bust. It was Summon Monster Quest for me, I played VII and VIII in anticipation of the new summon. That, and CG cutscenes. Dear god I fucking loved those in VIII.

One thing that's always been absolutely retarded about FFs is how bosses are always out of fucking nowhere. Like, 90% of bosses are entirely unrelated to story and just show up, die and are never, ever mentined again.

Zombie president was president's doing and not Ultemecia's, and iguana summons were just Edea's spells.

Summoning a monster is nothing out of the ordinary. Did you forget Squall summons an ice goddest and makes love to her, and then later marries her? At least, in my imagination, he does.

The question is, why int he world of fuck was THERE a fucking monster, standing int he hall all alone? That was fucking stupid.

>>163038256
The process should be fun, not the goal, because the goal is stupid and achieves nothing.

That getting all the cards is neither easy nor quick is a good thing, not a bad thing. You walk around the world, playing with random people,s eeing if they have any new cards left. That you can randomly stumble onto someone who has a rare card is part of the fun.

This is not a story quest which is supposed to end. It's something you do until you get ored of the triple triad, at which point you stop doing it. Getting all the cards is the end goal that's best when it's still unfulfilled.

This ability was called "Apoyo" (Support) in Spanish and I am obscenly good at mashing buttons since then. I still refer to "button mashing" as apoyo, as do all my friends/brother.

I fucked up right before the last honeypot, the biggest, appeared. When my friends were almost finished mashing it I came out of the stun and outmashed them.

Lucky, I try getting the End for about 3 minutes straight and nothing, Just the usual high powered spell that is useless or Death.

When you're trying to destroy everything in the world but yourself, why would you even bother getting dressed?

>killing the Black Widow in the training mission
I did that in one of my playthroughs and I've no idea how I did that then I found out it lowers your SeeD rank

>getting The End twice after spinning past the first like an idiot
it works more the closer you are to a game over

Killing the Black Widow is worth a SeeD rank all by itself

Always gotta look fabulous

At least she has SOME shame.

Yes, I read everything in the terminal at the beginning. I even came back from time to time to check on the new Selphie posts.

>>163039693
Because Tetsuya Nomura

>>163040938
Well, not a single beltanzipper, she doens't even have a visible button, mind. Ah, pre-PS2 Nomura.

That's not shame, outright nudity is better than being a cock teasing whore

who's idea was it to make cards for squall and his buddies?
>>
>>163021271

I remember having seen these three:

>After completing the Fire Cavern and obtaining Ifrit two students will be sitting outside the 2F classroom. They will ask if Squall can show them his gunblade. If he does, Instructor Aki will arrive to give demerit points towards Squall's future SeeD rank.

>Perhaps the most seen of the three events involving Instructor Aki; one of his students in the Garden Library is stressing out over the Instructor's strictness.

>While interrogating Zell Dincht over his preferences, the Library committee will be interrupted by Aki for "slacking off" in their duties.

I don't think I ever talked with the dude that requests a magic show.

Squall probably made them himself. He's exactly the sort of imbecile to do this sort of thing between crying fits.
>>
>>163041586
Look, if it had a vagina or vagina-type orifice, I'd stick my dick in it if it offered

Breasts are a welcome plus

That's her original body, idiot.
