Currently playing FF15 ($15 Target BlackFriday) just started playing it last week and it feels already like an incomplete, inconsistent disaster that is clearly still unfinished ten years later. But while riding in the car the only soundtrack I listen to is FF8. Brings back memories...
I had played FF7 as a kid when it was new and when FF8 came out I was hyped, the game in former demo was the best demo every made too. I finally didn't get it until ff9 went for $20 and I grabbed ff tactics 7,8,9 and legend of dragoon. at the time the best graphics were square enix games gran turismo 2 and metal gear.
The battle system and the junction system are a mess when it comes to ff8, but the character designs were better than f7 and ff9. I really really like 9 but I cant get past some of the weird chibi designs. Even the HD remasters ff8 is the best one of the ps1 era. But fuck the remasters they ruin a lot of the music and are shitty ports...
I know people don't like this game but I've played it repeatedly many times and each time I've completed it I've liked it even more. KEEP IN MIND I HAD A GAMESHARK SO I DIDNT HAVE TO PLAY 60HRS, at its story heart ff8 is about a 12hr story. I don't know what it is but the colors are amazing compared to dragoon, 7,8 and tactics, the orchestral music really tied me in too and the game was basically FFXV where its set kinda in a fantasy present. And for the first time it was a love story, all final fantasy previous involved a power hungry man who was gonna set to destroy the world and each progression seemed very similar to me, ff8 for me is different.
The story makes more sense each time the game is played, I feel that's its meant to be like that because of how everything finally ties together at the very end. The interactions and emotions in that game were at its most realist and some of the games now still can't capture relationships and emotions and human behavior that capture thoughts, when I saw Zelda leap into links arms in the Zelda trailer it reminded me of the ff8 trailer of rinoa and squall.
Even though the story is about a power hungry person, this game its more about the story of squall and I really love it. The only other games that came close was 9 but it wasn't as good, 10 was alright too but again there wasn't much in comparison. So much more I want to say.
But if any final fantasy were to be able to become a Four Season 22 ep Anime, Final Fantasy 8 is easily the best candidate for that one
Again play the original one on espsxe emulator WITH gameshark as the new HD remaster does it no justice, especially with the music
