Final Fantasy 8 Is an Unequivocal Design MESS | Design Delve

Never having played any of the FF games, I was interested to see why everyone hated this one in particular.

J8, I hear you but I aint listening. FF8 was my first and will remain the best. It blew my balls off as a kid. Side note, playing Clair Obscur brought back ALOT of the feelings I had as a kid playing FF8

Can't disagree. The soundtrack's great - but FF9's is better IMO. And the whole game is better too. Looking forward to seeing you tackle that.

yeaaaah.... FF8 has that effect where you can clearly tell that the writers hard drugs have started to kick in and everything from there on is a mad feverdream where nothing really makes sense XD

Last time I played FFVIII I turned every enemy I could into a card, levelled up as little as the game allows and winded up breaking the game over my knee. It was not even slightly worth the effort.

I blame myself, as I knew the game was a dogshit sandwich on pretty bread from playing it when it first released, bit I voted for it anyway. I also knew JM8 would get a great video from it. Thanks for suffering for our entertainment, Jay.

Yeah, I never liked this one. I think it started an ugly precedent for the franchise, focusing more on the lore and mechanics of the setting rather than character or narrative.

Don't worry, FFIX is so good you'll forget about 8. Might even dust off my Twitch account to watch when you play live

knew this one was going to be a banger before watching.

I can say I agree before even watching the video.

Oh my gosh, yes! JM8, currently, I dub this your magnum opus.
