14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

En av de bästa berättelse-spelen någonsin. Det är inte exakt lika bra som Final Fantasy 7, men det finns det inte många spel som är. Junction-systemet är mycket interessant, men har sina problem, t.ex. så är det bästa sättet att få magi på rejält gömt. Spelet visar att man ska använda "draw" för att dra ut magi ur fiender, men det bästa sättet att skaffa magi på är egentligen att skaffa "refine" på alla GFs man hittar så att man kan förvandla föremål man hittar till magi. Genom Quezacotls Card Mod ability kan man göra Gesper-kort (som är mycket lätt att få tag på) till Black Hole, som man kan använda Diablos refine på för att göra till 30 Demi, en extrem kraftfull magi som är användbart även i slutbossen. Detta är typ mitt enda problem med junction-systemet, annars är det fantastiskt. Vissa säger att junction är svårt att förstå, men själv tycker jag inte alls det. Om du är äldre än 12 så borde du fatta. Berättelsen är PEAK dock. Karaktärerna är underbar, världen är fantastisk, och dialogen är perfekt. Om de någonsin förstör denna berättelse genom en Remake som de gjorde för Final Fantasy 7 så tänker jag faktiskt döda mig själv. Jag grät nästan på slutet (det gjorde jag inte faktiskt, för jag är en vuxen man, men det var nära.) Om du gillar ATB turbaserad strid i rollspel med svinbra berättelser, så MÅSTE du prova FF8.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 20: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 2.33/day in the week to Aug 4 → 2.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I love this game and wish it got a reboot like seven received. I had this back on PS1 until those games could no longer run.
A very old game which reminds a lot of things...
The best final fantasy game that there ever was.
Essa versão de Final Fantasy VIII foi remasterizada apenas no que se refere aos modelos 3D dos 11 personagens jogáveis e NPCs. Finalmente o Squall poderá ser proclamado [i]best looking guy[/i] sem precisar de mentiras! Os modelos 3D dos inimigos comuns apenas recebem o tratamento [i]upscale[/i] padrão. Infelizmente, os cenários foram pesadamente processados por um filtro vaselina. Teria sido uma excelente oportunidade de a Square Enix ter melhorado os cenários com técnicas de [i]AI Upscale[/i] que os [i]modders[/i] já dominam há tempos. Mas pelo menos as FMVs aparentam ter sido beneficiadas por um [i]upscale[/i] de qualidade. Em se tratando de melhorias de qualidade de vida, essa versão oferece o pacote típico dos ports modernos da Square Enix: aumento da velocidade de jogo, Limit Breaks garantidos, remoção de batalhas aleatórias, etc. Tudo isso pode ser ativado de maneira opcional, então os jogadores puristas não precisarão se contaminar com esses sacrilégios. De resto, o jogo é mesmo da versão de PS1. Final Fantasy VIII certamente não é o mais indicado para ser o primeiro jogo da série aos não-iniciados, mas é um jogo que é até divertido de "quebrar" abusando de certos aspectos da jogabilidade, e o enredo fica bem interessante depois que o jogo elimina qualquer pretensão de ser "ficção científica séria" a partir do Disco 2. Eu recomendo essa versão do jogo tendo isso em mente.
good
one of the most kino OPs ever made. needed more selphie fmvs squall was a sensitive young man
Often considered the black sheep of the series. FF8 has a very interesting system for character customization. Playing the game normally like on the PS1 era, is a *very* slow experience, dare I say, too slow for modern comfort. I consider myself decently patient, but even so I still found the speed of the game too slow. However, the Remaster has an incredible useful x3 speed function that you can toggle with one click, and it does not mess up with the music of the game. With this function, the game feels very serviceable. The Music is incredible, the story, although non-sensical, is a very fun spectacle to witness. The characters are very fun and its fun to see the journey they go through. I think its worth trying out by anyone that has ever been curious about the game. Its a bit weird to get used to the magic and junction system, but there is a lot of enjoyment you can get from learning how to exploit it to your advantage (or just read a guide). Its a very easy game to break, and dare I say, its a fun game to break.
Siempre lo he amado <3
A classic. Best FF music and power scaling with your party's average level.
