Here's a very obscure fact about FF8: if you use scan on the mannequin enemy in the debug room in the English version you just get a random bunch of numbers. In the Italian version, the translator left a hidden message there saying basically: "Help me, this translation is killing me, I'm super tired"

That reminds me of one of the Aeris in the FF VII's Debug Room. She manages teleports to various maps, but one of them is "Hell" (translated as "Hades"). If you try to select that option, Aeris laughs and says that the debug room IS hell, clearly showing that some devs were... less than happy with their working shifts.

At the start of 8 you can access the balamb school terminals and can see book returns to the library. The book "the sorceress knight" foreshadowing seifers dream and gives us additional context around the initial fight cutscene between seifer and squall. Thought that was interesting.

I don't know many who ever actually read the terminals. Those actually provided a lot of context to the plot and foreshadowed many plot points that detractors of 8 criticize (i.e., GF memory loss). While that's poor storytelling in my opinion as someone who puts 8 somewhere in her top ten, FF8 *is* nonetheless an RPG that encourages players to examine everything.

I was borrowing a legitimate Dualshock and not using my 3rd party one that was just mapping dpad to analog. It was way better. Yeah, you would feel the controller vibrate for Renzokuken.

About Ultimecia's final monologue. She never finishes it, she end it with "And..." But I have a theory. She actually does finishes the monologue. Right after the battle and before she dies and passes her power to Edea in the past, Ultimecia has one final line "I can't disappear yet". I believe that was what she was going to say after the "And..." She was so close to absorbing all of time, space and reality that she was in disbelief that she was about to die. Dumb theory I know.
@Fraxinus1986 Жыл бұрын
What about this: Ultimecia is the last human living on the FF8 world, this means nobody is around her to succeed her as a sorceress. This means once she dies she experiences endless agony without any hope to ever rest in peace. She simply had to do something... edit: in my opinion she is the last because sending her mind to the bodies of past sorceresses (Edea, Rinoa, Adel) means she is unconscious in her timeline, so it would be easy to pwn her while she is in that state (if there was anybody bold enough to sneak around all the monsters in her castle).

When I was a kid all of my friends argued that FF8 gunblades shoot projectiles "bEcAuSe tHeY uSeD bUlEtS dUh" but I knew better because obviously they didn't have barrels. I also as a kid read about "vibroblades" in science fiction novels and thought that they functioned the same, using supersonic high intensity vibrations to cut through anything. I suppose this is why in-universe gunblades are notoriously difficult to wield (because you have to time pulling the trigger perfectly), and we only know about Squall and Seifer ever using them.

The Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack was really incredibly good. Eyes On Me had fit in perfectly as well. I don't think celebrity singers are needed for a good theme song. They often have their own style that doesn't work with the game or the soundtrack. Leona Lewis was a huge mistake for Final Fantasy XIII back in the day. The only song in the series that I can't listen to. Yet that's what music should do, linger.

I have to admit, that Eyes on me is a much more beautiful song and the singer definitely was great. I was able to relate better to the My Hands song's lyrics, but yeah, the FF8 song is a masterpiece for real. It's a pity FF13 got rushed in so many ways. And its sequels suffered much the same fate. But it's still pretty good content. Just imagining how much better they could have been in the small ways, like, rethinking a voice for the end of the game. Like sure, it's not going to affect the game all that much, but the song can attract new players if it's good, so why not make it the best it can be? More players means more money, hehe.

Though its not stated here, Squalls crit on command is different from other characters crits in that the crits are weaker for Squall. This doesn't really mater and you'll never really notice it in game unless you max out a characters luck stat and see that they deal out roughly 50% more damage then Squall does when upon a crit. Basically Squall's crit is something like a 1.5X multiplier while everyone else has a 2X multiplier on crit. The only time this isn't true is when Squall is performing his Lionheart limit which either has the same crit formula as everyone else or a more damaging one.

BEST FF for me! Praying for a Laguna Loire spin-off like they did with Zack Fair

If glad they didn't go with a pop star I'd instantly recognize for Eyes on Me. While it would be unavoidable for some of the audience due to pop stars being popular by definition, I feel like hearing Celine Dion might have pulled me out of the game's world and back into this one.

Faye Wong sang the song of Final Fantasy 8. Fei Wong starred in the game Xenogears the year before.

I am not sure if it exists anywhere, but I would love to see a "History of Samurai" video sometime, if you were still making those! Anyway, I look forward to watching THIS video on my break! Cheers.

there's also some cool scene outside balamb room at 2nd floor, where you'll show a kid how to use magic, and Squall will cast Blizzard then a teacher will scold you, dropping a seed rank hehe
