That's not true at all. They don't acknowledge Rinoa's existence tho.

What, do you think it needed spinoffs or something?

Squall is in most Final Fantasy spin-offs, what are you talking about?

Acknowledge is more than 9 at least. FFIX didn't even get a new character in Duodecim.

>Higher sales than VII
>No sequel movie
>no prequel games

>no tie in novels

Best FF, where's the remake?????

>higher sales than VII
but that's wrong

So...?
FF 8 was pretty damn good imo, but I don't think it needed any more media exposure.

Squall is a more important character in KH than Cloud and he's a top tier in Dissidia, he's also the only character Warrior of Light respected as his equal

In promotional material for spin-offs, I feel like I always see Cloud, Tidus and Lightning obviously, but they seem to alternate between Squall and Zidane, probably depending on whoever is directing the trailer.

But I do feel like I see Squall a bit more than Zidane.

Not him, but he's probably talking about the OG PS1 and PC sales.
FF 7 got a lot more rereleases etc.

As a person, who hates VIII's guts: Yes. It's actually the only FF that ever warranted sequels to explain all the bullshit and conclude the myriad dropped plot threads. I would buy and hate the shit out of them, when they would accomplish neither and pile on even more problems.

Even only counting those FF7 sold more. That's always been the big thing, really, FF7 was a completely unusual peak in sales they never managed to reproduced.

>wanting any of that
All those things are terrible or stupid. They're doing you a favor by not ruining the game with awful spin offs and prequels and sequels and movies.

This could have used a novel but that's about it.

From a business perspective why did they give VII all the spinoffs and movie if more people bought viii?

He's in like every KH game

That pic is whack

This is why you don't get sequels. Where is FFIX? That tells you everything you need to know. I love FFVIII and I think it got an unfair shake, but it was just a bridge too far for too many gamers. Arguably the most exploitable world of any FF game, like this dude said

3 and a quarter

>Even only counting those FF7 sold more.

Incorrect.

>Even only counting those FF7 sold more
Did you just do that in two minutes?
Not saying you're incorrect and I actually like 7 more than 8, but I don't think he's completely incorrect and that (wikipedia?) picture proves anything.

In the long run, FF 7 made Square-enix more monies than any other FF, without the shadow of a doubt

Somewhat of a response to you too.
I'm not trying to "defend" any FF.

Good. Square-Enix would ruin it.

Shut the hell up

Cmon man that's the easiest character to redesign in history
>girl in yellow dress
That Seifer design is an atrocity

>You will never find out why some of the more plain weird shit like the Lunar cry even happens.
FF8's world is actually pretty neat. But so much of it you have to look it up yourself.

Well i dunno, i can totally see Seifer dressing like that at his younger years
Which probably didn't last long 'cause those yellow hat fuckers from the garden be hatin' on his trends and confiscated it all
Fuck those guys i'll never forgive them for stealing Zell's cool ass board
And for siding with the bujururu guy i guess
But the board man

>that pic is whack

I know that's why I think it serves as one of my essence series, that I collect. It's VIII. It has no cohesion. It does whatever the fuck it wants. It's clearly psychological game centered on imperfect relationship and an unclear feeling throughout in the sense that it's all so artificial and wrong that you can't grasp it, making a blurry picture perfect. Fate and mumbo jumbo too. Yet at the end it was also a romance game all along apparently.

But I'm not really happy with it. (I have a similar problem finding a good picture for some other FFs, especially II.) That's why I have several. But this just Squall being contemplative and dour. Yet its my primary, because Squall is a downer for my enjoyment and the game is certainly in many ways about him growing up, being the central subject of the game. It's much less ideal,but more personal.

A Laguna prequel as a third person action game (like FF15) would actually work pretty well.

>(like FF15)

goty

The board was pretty funny, and really begged for a minigame tbqh, but that Seifer design is literally copy-pasted from TWEWY. It's garbage. A white t-shirt would've been better

I would assume it would follow more of the battles Laguna and Co. fought in in the Galbadia v Esther war.
His journey to Esthar was pretty well covered in game, and he never even fought Adel, just ruse-mastered him/her.

Bad level system ruined the game.

Selphie was the one redesign he didn't fuck up, because he just changed her boots to sandals and left everything else exactly the same. Still, Nomura's not the same person he was 20 years ago. Any new designs for an ff8 reboot would be unrecognizable trash.

>Best FF music, and that's saying something
>Best pre-rendered backgrounds
>Pretty good world built
>Actually has some subtlety in certain areas

>Shit story
>Most characters get thrown to the side and never expanded on
>Easily broken combat, it's hard to gimp yourself to make it a challenge without going full blown tfwnoGF

Still, loved the game.

And they only spent a year developing it. How many fucking years did it take for FF13, or 15?

Poor dude wants to be ikemen but has Japanese potato face.

Well I will say, just for the sake of it, that this is a total failure of a redesign. The point of Selphie is that she wears the clothes of a child because she's an autistic crazy person, who hasn't grown up. Making her an actual child dissolves all that.

>won't acknowledge existence.

Best music?....I don't know about that. It was great, don't get me wrong, but I still think 7's soundtrack is superior. But I agree with everything else you said. Unfortunately, I was 10 when I first played through it and didn't understand the junction system that well, and I ended up having a pretty rough time until the endgame(when I finally understood everything). Nothing like 100 holy wars to defeat that bastard Omega Weapon. I was also lucky to not have to deal with the "random" rule either

Are there any good difficulty hacks for this game? I like it a lot but the game having a babby-tier difficulty until late disc 3 removes a lot of enjoyment and the side-content can only make up for it so much.

Story is good though. People complain about the time loop and the memory loss (which had tons of foreshadowing) but those people are idiots.
