How can I forget leaving campus for lunch on Thursday, September 9, 1999 to completely ignore getting lunch and instead go straight to purchase Final Fantasy VIII. It was the same day the Dreamcast launched. We couldn’t resist playing on the Dreamcast demo unit the store had set up, but man I couldn’t wait for the weekend to come so I could just dive into FFVIII. Great memories.

FFVIII was my first RPG on PS1, i loved this game very much and the opening cinematic is EPIC, for sure my favorite intro of all Final Fantasy games.

I played this 20 years ago and it was mind-blowing for me. 20 years later and a lot of people say it's not a good game. I can't understand that, it's still one of the best games ever made in my opinion.

Johnny, this is my favorite game in the series. I know some people don’t like the junction system, but this game has some amazing story and characters. Anyone remember the Space scene in this game? So touching.

When the balamb garden music sounds for the first time... It's just nostalgic as hell to me.

[jahipalmer]

This game traps my soul. If I start playing it, I just keep playing it forever. Btw: I just bought the remaster. I love it.

[swsgaming]

You forgot to mention the best part about the game... Triple triad. That was one of the best mini games in any FF by far.

[Space__Burrito]

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

"Its never gonna look better than this."

FF8 is the best FF OST for sure, even though FF7 is my favourite I can't deny its soundtrack

[FRCB]

FF8 was the first RPG I ever played and the reason why I love RPGs.

[DerNapalus]

All i need now is a HD remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics, Brace Fencer Musashi and Vagrant Story.

"Eyes on me" Had not heard it in 20 years. When it played during the first dream I gave a little cry.

I watched my older brother play through 7. Loved it. He went overseas after and I saw this game on the shelf at EBgames and had to buy it and play it myself. Was my first FF purchase and I loved it.

pro tip: you don't have to draw. When the game first starts and you get control of your character, the terminal in front of you can be accessed and will give you 2 GF's, Quetz and Shiva. if you go into the GF menu, you can make your GF's learn certain abilities. The first one you want quetz to learn is refine thunder magic. Shiva can learn Refine Ice magic. you will get refine fire magic shortly. The only time you need to draw is for certain GF's from bosses, you can refine all your magic much more efficiently than by drawing. =)

I played this after VII (loved VII) back in the PS1 days and I was one of the few who loved VIII more than VII.

I bought the copy for the nintendo switch yesterday. And my impression was :
HOLY GOD! THIS IS SO GOOD!

[lazeegai]

Now that we have Final Fantasy 8 HD.... How bout working on Chrono Cross HD. Yes Square-Enix?

[bennywarren]

This game taught me how to read😂
The junction system is so overpowered once you learn how to use it. I loved it when i was a kid and I was drivin to increase my ability to read in order to play it.

[KingKarrot]

This is my favorite game of all time! Thank you for giving it some love!
