FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED

Insieme ale 13, probabilmente il Final Fantasy che mi è piaciuto meno, la storia in se non è male, e nemmeno i personaggi sono da buttare, Squall mi ha comunque conquistato... Il problema sta nel contesto, sembra come se il mondo dovesse essere salvato da degli adolescenti che fanno discorsi ridicoli e si comportano in modo ridicolo... Il gameplay purtroppo utilliza l'ATB che sarebbe da abolire dalla faccia della Terra, ed un sistema di magie e abilità che ti fa quasi venir voglia di droppare il gioco, tanto è inutilmente complicato. Figa Ultimecia. 7/10

Greetings! Final Fantasy is one of my favorite series of video games and I originally played 8 when was I teen. Now, I’ve played it again to see if it holds up. I never was the biggest fan of this one; the story felt a bit too bland and took too long to get anywhere. Do I feel the same way? Let’s discuss! Booya: This is an old school JRPG, you line up on one side the enemy on another and you wait for little bars to fill up and take your action. The old ways are best (as something Square Enix seems to be seeing). This is a classic, though not the best or more interesting stories told in the series it does feel a lot more grounded then some of the others. As a teen the main character seemed cool and the story went from private military contractors to crazy stuff. The story does still seem to take a left turn real fast in the final act but it makes a lot more sense as an adult. Whatever: Mechanically this may be one of the most complex of the Final Fantasy series, and has an ocean of depth too in both the combat system and the card game you can play with NPCs. The game boasts probably one of the most unique leveling and ability system in the game and thrives under the manipulation of items (refining) and the playing of the card game, Triple Triad. But, on the other hand the game is perfectly suitable to just play ‘good enough’ and still make your way through the game. The Road not Travelled: FF8 tried several new things for its time; the big one being scaled enemies. Normally, when you level up the enemies don’t, this gives you the ability to ‘out-level’ enemies and making them easier. In this one; if you are level 35 almost every enemy (including most bosses) are level 35. This was the first time it was tried in a Final Fantasy and (as far as I know) the last and for good reason. The game seems to punish you for leveling as the enemy power level can eclipse yours if you don’t stay on top of your junctions. Overall, this game is still a good Final Fantasy, far from my favorite (7 still holds that position) but it is definitely worth playing if you’ve never played it before. The PC Remaster smoothes over some of the edges even if not all is improved. I’d recommend it, Enjoy!

I thought this was a good game. I liked the story a lot. The junctioning function took a little getting used to, but after I got the hang of it, I liked it!

👍

A great classic that never ceases to fascinate after all these years

Great

This is a childhood game for me and one of the first story focused games I ever played, so I can't be objective here. I love this game with all the silly problems it has. And Triple Triad is still my favorite minigame in any game.

这么古老的游戏，居然实际体验还行，剧情还是比较紧凑的，虽然方向一直都是杀，杀总统，杀魔女 最大的问题在于没有配音，直接导致体验差了非常多

good game
