The biggest game at E3 this year was a remake of an old one. The much-anticipated, long-in-development remake of Final Fantasy VII seemed like it was everywhere. Fans were able to play it for the first time, Square Enix finally unveiled the release date, and it even turned its show floor booth into a life-sized re-creation of the gritty cyberpunk metropolis Midgar. Fittingly, the massive presence of FFVII Remake largely overshadowed another major announcement: the original game’s successor, Final Fantasy VIII, was being remastered for modern consoles.

This isn’t a new phenomenon. Ever since its debut on the original PlayStation in 1999, FFVIII has always felt like the black sheep of the franchise. Today, it’s getting something of a second chance, thanks to a remastered edition launching on the Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One. “With the remastered version, I’m hoping people will rediscover the fun from a brand-new perspective,” FFVIII director Yoshinori Kitase tells The Verge.

I remember reaching level 100 on disc 1 back in the day thinking it would be easier for me later on. How wrong I was.

It's funny how there are still alot that hate this game cause they don't understand the junction system when ff8 is one of the best final fantasy's ever

[MissNeonNyx]

Hey, Square? Give us some Parasite Eve remaster.

Triple speed is meant for grinding faster. That's all. Why would you fast forward during story bits? That's your own fault.

I purchased this game back in the late 90s back when I was a teenager and I was excited beacuse all of the characters in final fantasy 8 was teenagers but I never finished as an old man approching 40 I am finishing the game on my ps vita. 😂 The teenage me would of been impressed.

Still going to buy it tomorrow Final Fantasy 8 was always in my top five Final Fantasy games. Also how does anyone have a problem beating this game the junction system is one of the easiest systems in the Final Fantasy franchise.

DreamcastGuy: FF8 Is the black sheep

FF2: What am I to you?

[edge]

FF8 is AWESOME! I love it and played it multiple times. I'm picking it up later today, flaws in the remaster or not.

The difficulty scaling allows you to completely break the game, in a number of ways, and the bosses don't scale like the enemies do. Still love thisgame though!

[Space__Burrito]

FF8 has one of the best soundtracks of all time praise be to lord nobuo uemastu

[cebapplejak]

I was one that thought this game was genius when it came out. Still one of my top faves

[juicemanvon]

FF8 and FF12 are some of my favorite games in the 3D era of Final Fantasy.

Unpopular, I know...

[richardstrait]

Save your self the 11 minutes of your life. ff8 is definitely worth the 20$ end of story

[cosmicimmunity]

Agreed but I really love the 3x speed, this is my favorite FF and I’m glad to be playing it again on my PS4

[mrlaidback]

I want Skies of Arcadia and legend of dragoon remastered. While we're at it, I would like a brand new sequel for both of these games as well.

[stefanm.]

No, the black sheep in FF is Lightning Returns.

[marcosoto]

This was honestly my favorite Final Fantasy. Great review!

[thedamash]

This was always my favourite ff game. I was 17 when it came out and I played it and replayed it many times. It’s the first and only game I got the official strategy guide for and I still have it to this day. I’ve been hoping for years they’d do a re release and it’s finally here!

[cemrko]
