Time to farm cards.
I shall now proceed to steal cards from everyone in the middle of the night.

>tfw getting the last hotdog

ZELL'S GONNA FREAK

Whatever.

Whatever

I'd like to cancel my enrollment

I told you about the Trex bro.

>It's a T-Rex!
>Quick Squall, open your junction menu and assign a spell to the blind stat to be able to have your blind spell hit more but you need more spells
>It also has 10,000 HP!

What the fuck was this game doing

I loved that shit. It's insane enough that they kept the T-Rex in this zoo like enclosure for people to train in. But the T-Rex itself was so powerful that it worked canonically.

Dude the chicks in balamb are dtf bro

>can't use items sold in every town without some godlike beings to help you


pathetic

never really understood why is that. what hell was the devs thinking

>Finally get to live my life with Selphie
And all I had to do was kill myself. Best decision I've ever made!

Transfer me to Galbadia Garden. this place sucks.

Say that to my face Seifer you faggot

I think the female uniforms need a shorter skirt

I can't be the only one who thought the Magic system was cool can I? I'd always loved blue mages and having the magic work like this always made me go "oh shit a new enemy! What kind of spells can this fucker get me?"

I miss Trabia Garden, I'm thinking of going home.

>not knowing that every person that uses items is blessed by GFs.

You didn't understand the lore, user

That infirmary's seen some shit

What magic system? As soon as it turned into a commodity, I never used magic again. Only summons and attack. Magic became boosters for everything else. Imagine setting yourself up with boosts only to literally be fucking your stats every time you wanted to use a weak magic attack and then having to wait hours for that magic to respawn so you could get 2 of it back.

Fuck that.

I know a way to actually go to and live at balamb garden like in real life

Ask me how

Me too. The problem is that idiots grinded 100 of every spell and then never used it, while probably complaining about the game being too easy.

Anyone else see this shit? Why are all Trabtards such fucking elves holy shit

That text box reminds me of that golden Squaresoft age of RPGs. They fucking reused it for Front Mission 3, but I don't give a shit. What an amazing time to be a gamer

You're shitting me, its a different textbox

t. someone who's played both FF8 and FM3
Emma Route > Alisa Route

Literally nobody ever complained the game was too easy.
The problem with the game is that it's unnecessarily convoluted.

The menu and UI are way too cluttered and poorly designed for what amounts to "stat goes up, stat goes down."

Dunno man, that looks pretty damn identical to all the text boxes you'd see in the internet portion of the game in FM3.

Emma route is the best route. I think the only good thing about Alisa route was getting to recruit that cop chick cause her wanzer looked cool

I like when you fight squalls rival whats his face and he reverses zantetsuken then gilgamesh shows up and slaps his shit.

Miho was cute, her wanzer was shit, so were her weapon affinities. Anyone who had Rifles was shit, Lou, Dennis, Jose, all must be benched.

I was maybe 13 or 14 when I first played it so I couldn't follow any of the affinity shit or knew what it meant. I just stacked shit with high attack because of dumb kid shit.

I think every one of my wanzers at the endgame had those spider legs.

>Watch the Charlie's Angels movie
>Two kids are playing Final Fantasy VIII
>Believe there's some secret two player co-op

Who fucking knew back then, especially with all of the archaic PlayStation Pocket and other peripheral shit.

>candy dish ON THE PLAYSTATION

I didn't like FF8 all that much.

...

The PSX version of VI had co-op

I ended up making shit I saw on Gundam Wing, but I've played it a lot more since then and learned to balance my mechs, never use Linny and sacrificing a little attack for more weight capacity is acceptable.

I know there is a mode like that for FF9 at least.

I can never not hear this whenever I see OP's pic

>Tfw used to believe that "Found a draw point. No one can draw." was about Triple Triad, and could never really work out how the game prevented you from drawing

Took me years to realise how utterly retarded that was

I didn't understand guardian forces at first and just gave them all to one character, deciding she would be my summoner.

...

It's a shame the game is so easy you really don't have to pay attention to the finer details. Just stack high power shit on everything and wreck the opposition with hardly any resistance.

In retrospect, Quistis is pretty hot.

The scenes between Quistis and Squall depress me for some reason. Maybe it's because Quistis ultimately gets cucked but no other teen drama gives me the feels like this.

It's genuinely awkward. Much like teen drama would be.

I liked this game. Too bad about the whole game after the first disc.

THE MUSIC IN THIS GAME HNNNNNNGGGGGG

Best FF8 OCREMIX

>RANDOM ENCOUNTERS EVERYWHERE

OP already posted it

What? I know Tactics had but FFVI? I just googled it and it seems both V and VI have co-op, and in both SNES and PSX versions. Nice.

fuck this game

Dali, Lindblum, Costa Del Sol, Cosmo Canyon

>random encounters with GIANT MAN-EATING CATERPILLARS EVERYWHERE!

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.

>no mention of Golden Saucer

FAG

The strange thing about this pasta is that Selphie is actually in-character.

Wow it's almost like the guy who made it wanted it to be believable.

Wow go figure.

>He doesn't find slaying monsters relaxing

Dali, Lindblum,
>FF9
>Comfy

>Costa Del Sol
Pretty comfy

>Cosmo Canyon
>Weird to navigate
>built into a now haunted mountain

nah

>FF9
>not comfy
IX is the mainline FF with the least tension.

All the more reason its not comfy, for maximum comfort you have to be stressed to appreciate the lack of it.

I still listen to this shit sometimes.

>She
>Giving Quistis anything

Actually I did that same as I figured Squall didn't deserve any for being a mopey shit

Front Mission 3 is garbage.

>Cosmo Canyon
>terrible music
Holy fuck, now this is what I call a shitty opinion.

Hi! My name is NORG, I'll just see myself in thanks.

*melonpan

Go back to your titanfall shit, fag

Which front mission was the one where your wife's brain gets transferred into a CPU near the end? That was freaky.

Laguna should've been the main character

FM3 is an insult to the rest of the series. The only reason why people like it is nostalgia.

The first one. The main villain was using it first until Royd blew him the fuck up and stole his waifu CPU back.

da na naaaa na na
da na naaaa na na
da na na-na, na na naaaaaaaaa

Have 1,2 and 3
3 is the best, 1 and 2 were OK
Newer ones are plain shit

You have no idea what you're talking about. FM3 is a huge step down from even the first game in the series, let alone FM2. There's no defending the asinine plot, stupidly immature characters, low deployment size, bad skill system, or completely backwards ranking system.

>carrying 100 of every item worth having as a SeeD
There's your fucking answer.

I liked it a lot but only because I love the idea that I'm stealing someone's power to use against them. This is also why Quistis is my fav character.

*Lindbulm

>cosmo
>bad music

Stop baiting. God damn.

Give one good reason why 4 deployment slots is better than 12.

You had to have actually diverse equiped and specialized units (and pilots) depending on the map, not put every unit on every map

If Balamb was real, I'd want to have gone there and just teach.

Also, collecting and cataloging all the GFs in existence would be so nice.

Its real.

There's more to life than suffering here on earth user.

Think about it.

Which route lets you recruit Pham? I love that redheaded spoiled bitch who also happens to be from a mudskin country.

cheers m8

Front Mission 1 had nearly 20 characters.

>diverse equiped and specialized units

A shield on everyone and then any combo of a melee attacker, a machine gun user, and a missile user is hardly specialized.

I've been holding on to Satan for a while, but I want you kids to have it ~

I hate how easy it is to break this game.

You know what, I like VIII.

As much as I hate it, I love it.

>Giving Shiva to Squall

I know you idiots did this.

>magic system

It hardly even really counts as a magic system.

Your 'spells' in this game are more like items.

>Brick walls get by on their own

How will you be enrolling?

You must have an agony score over 50 to be considered for SeeD.

Something that always strikes me about 8 is that regardless of how bad it is overall, the game is full to the brim with memorable moments.

The exam. The assassination, the prison stuff, flying the garden, the missile base, going to esthar, going to the moon. The garden battle.

So many great and exciting moments that really stick out in the memory. The only problem comes when you try and string them all together and you end up with... the disastrous mess that is the FF8. It's no wonder they never wanna touch the plot again. It's a total catastrophe.

Compare to other titles like 12 which weren't quite as messy (though 12 was still pretty damn bad) but don't stick out as memorable like 8 because the game is just this long boring slog.
