FF8 is still to this date my favourite FF. It was above everything else a mix of different types of love between men and women and the most mature of them so far. It went from puppy love to mature love depending on the couple. It still has the BEST by far FMV intro of any JRPG, best battle music, and yes, I did enjoy the draw system, it was cool and fun to OP characters with the magic system, still on the T-REX cage in the beginning of the game haha. Also, best space ship (Ragnarok rules).

[@CronicasDeGisthia]

Its amazing how many people don't realize FF8 its basically the ultimate version of the classical love story. "Undeserved love" - Squall to Rinoa "Idolizing love" - Rinoa to Seifer "Fraternal love" - Selphie to Trabians/main party "Self love" - Zell / Irvine "Sexual love" - Laguna to Julia "Complementing love" - Seifer to Edea "Motherly love" - Edea and the orphans "Adoptive love" - Raine to Ellone "Fatherly love" - Laguna to Ellone "Mature love" - Laguna to Raine Every theme in this game revolves around love and the many ways we have to show and express them. Its amazing.

[@theMaxTero]

@@CronicasDeGisthia I think the devs did that since 7 is basically dealing with death/grief, so they wanted something more lighthearted. It was poorly presented and implemented but hey

AFAIK The enemy in FF8 level-up along with you, so you can just went through the whole game without caring about grinding. CMIIW.

[@davidbaker9479]

It also makes the game incredible easy if you know how to use it. I finished the game with like level 10 or 12 charachters that had max stats. It was so broken. I was like, wait I dont get xp if I turn enemies into cards? Then you can turn cards into pretty high magics early on. Then I think it was diablo had a skill that made it so you didnt have to do random battles I think? It was so easy.

[@GMAceM]

Regardless of which FF he played, I’m glad he gave one a chance and not necessarily just the action ones that have come out recently. I enjoy both the action and the turn based and feel that they both deserve attention.

[@PaladinGear15]

Honestly Connor talking about when abilities aren't specific with their numbers drives me crazy too! "a slight chance to heal when you defeat an enemy" well what the heck does that mean?! "Increases your strength and intelligence significantly" give me a number! It's actually gotten to the point where most of the time I won't bother using buffs or debuffs in a lot of RPG's because it's rarely specific.

[@oceanicGrimalkin]

Yeah. And the seldom times they do (like Honkai Star Rail where it gives specific percentages on CRIT RATE, CRIT DMG, DOT, etc.), I'm super grateful. I wish games get on the numbers when talking about chance.

[@WandererRedux]

The way I always describe FFVIII is: "not the greatest in the series, but my favourite". The junction system has its flaws, but the ATB system is the most dynamic until X-2, the characters are all memorable, there is a tonne of subtle world building throughout, it has one of the best soundtracks in the entire series, and is home to Triple Triad (frontrunner for greatest minigame of all time). Honestly I don't think there's a Final Fantasy game that is objectively the best, although I think VI and X probably come the closest.

[@xtr.7662]

VI has the best story although i didnt play it, but viii is still below vii, ix, x, xii for me and just above xiii and xv

[@coralreeves4276]

This. ☝

[@MrLightlike78]

@@xtr.7662 1000% agree. I really like the systems in 8 but on my latest playthrough it started to feel like the story isn't finished and there's glaring holes. The centra(not cetra from 7)a 4000 year old civilization was wiped out by a lunar cry, the survivors built the mobile gardens for shelters and moved around finding new locations to settle and the last of the centra died out 80 years before the main story????? and Cid who sends you off never found like instructions... there's no left over texts? Nah he just sends you down there "Idk what it does, but it might save us". That's not even the weirdest thing....monsters come from the moon which no one really talks about til disc 3...I would never not be talking about this. Jesus 8... I mean I like ya but if they ever do a remake it should be FF8:Re:Write cuz damn.

[@brennanlable]

@@MrLightlike78 those are fair points however not everything needs to be exposition. the story wasn't about explaining the details of the world. the setting is just the setting. the story was about war orphans finding love. we don't need to know about the Centra. the context clues about Cid and Edea living near the old ruin at the orphanage and using their tech to both train and protect the orphans is enough imo. what we needed was more hints to the characters early relationships and the main villain's motivations.

[@tim3line]

ff8 is my favorite but it's objectively a pretty bad start. It info dumps you, leaves you stranded, has complex systems (which I enjoy, and I think Connor does too otherwise he wouldn't finish it), and can be convoluted or confusing. Still, I'm very glad (and impressed) he enjoyed it. I really hope they remake 8 after the decades of dumping content for 7.

[@PyraJord]

They cant remake FF8 easily. Due to how it was developed alongside FF7 and how FF8 had a turbulent development they have lost the source code for FF8. So if they were to remake it, it would literally have to be remade from the ground up.

[@tim3line]

@pyrastanjord4353 i dont think the source code of 7 has much to do with how the remake came out. They've arguably two entirely different games with the only similarities being the same names and story. 8 would be the same

[@rentonthurston1411]

I think, if they did remake it, they'd have to overhaul the system. VIII was my first Final Fantasy and it was hard as a kid maybe 12 ish at the time, with how complicated the system was. I remember having to restart because I was stuck at the end of disk one where I couldn't beat Seifer. The game also incentivizes that you don't use the magic you draw because your stats will be lowered if you have that spell junctioned. This made it preferable to use certain limit breaks almost exclusively, aside from the occasional summon. Personally I really enjoyed ffVIII, the story was great, the world was vast, tons of cool things to find and puzzles to solve, I even enjoyed the gameplay and the junctioning system when I finally understood it, and there was definitely a challenge to it that made the game feel more balanced. I just think the complicated system doesn't translate well to the new generation of gaming. I would love to see a remake, just with some quality of life upgrades.

Ff8 isn’t necessarily the worst one, but definitely one of the most controversial ones as it’s quite different from the other ones at the time. I think 4, 6, 7, 9 or 10 would all have been way better entries for the franchise as they’re far more similar to the other ones

[@apexzora4423]

I wouldn't recommend 6 as the first one tho. I think it's the absolute best FF game but as your first one? Hell naaaaah the game is gonna confuse so much. I'd say 10 is the best one for a newcomer.

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

If you play fighting games the whole game is learning the mechanics. There's still new stuff to learn even 500 hours into playing. As you will find combos or mechanics that you dont need to win at low level versus but as you start to get better and face better and better people certain fundamental mechanics become increasingly important. There are sort of stage gates of skill levels. And you will only get so far in your climb until you learn certain mechanics to the point where it becomes a reflex or autonomous. Its all about building muscle memory and trying to controll your behaviours and habits, to play mindgames against your opponent. While also trying to predict and read their habits at the same time.

FF8 becomes more enjoyable when you realize that it's an alchemy game. First off, DO NOT draw magic from enemies and instead, use the summon skills to change items, cards, etc into magic. If you know what you're doing, you can get Curaga (one of the best healing magic in the game) within the first hour of playing.

Basically this. Vwry rarely do you need to draw. Just turn enemies into cards ans break the game super early. It was the easiest ff game I have ever played because of how easily exploited the systems where.

I think the problem is that it’s not the worst in general but the mechanic design is almost artificially complex, because when you get through a solid portion of the game you realize it’s not hard to understand but you also realize it wasn’t even necessary because if it was a little more intuitive people would have had so much more fun in the whole experience rather that just the last legs of the playthrough.

[@derptyderp5287]

As much as I love FF8, it is by far the most broken game in the series. It's like play testing and game design just went out the window with that one... The 2 best strategies they built in are to spam draw (which is boring and a massive waste of electricity) and to let your characters be near death all the time so you can spam skip turn until you fire off your overpowered limit breaks. The combat might as well not exist... Needs a full remake more than 7 ever did.

[@jonirischx8925]

I agree it's a bit broken, but not in the way you mean. The draw function is literally useless in the game. You make your GFs learn the skill of turning cards into items, and items to magic. And you'll never need to use the draw, except to draw GFs from enemies. You can do this few hours into the game. Thats why you need just one of your characters to have draw in their skillset in boss battles, and only in boss battles. The rest of the time you just play cards (which I found fun), and turn the cards into stacks of spells which you junction. 10 year old me figured this out on my first playthrough when the game came out. Why this is broken, is bc you can get overpowered extremely early into the game, by having a full 100 of tier 3 spells junctioned onto your abilities. It would be easy to fix this: just get rid of draw (bc it's useless anyway), and introduce a mechanic where you buy spells with in-game money (or something similar). And make it so that the cards you turn into items don't generate such an insane amount of spells. That's it. Otherwise the mechanics are fine.

If connor ever played ff3 he would freak out so bad....

Do 6 then 8 next. Im on the 7 side of things but damn 6 is good too.

Typically it's 9 fans who really try to trash the other PS1 games I've found

11:15 Connor complaining about a JRPG not fully explaining the effects of an equip item while he has played Fear and Hunger, infamous game known for not holding your hand while chopping your character's arm off at the same time if you're not prepared. JRPG's usually have a part of it where you're on your own and you have to figure it out for yourself. This equip item is just an element of that.

slight is 1-2%, huge is 10%

[@tgotti193]

This video makes me feel like a genius for beating this game at 7.

[@TheDGBgamers]

Joey is definitely an FF6 elitist. lol

[@galaxy_kitten95]

Of course he is. He has said in the past that FFVI is one of his top favorites in the series.

Anybody calling FF8 the worst one has played approximately 2 Final Fantasy gamed; 7 and 8. Not liking 8 is totally understandable but saying its worse than 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 13-2 Lightning Returns, Original 14, and 15 is fucking wild Edit: on second thought it's also better than A Realm Reborn

[@ivaanuner]

cause it is the worst one next to ff2 and ff13 and i have played 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10-2,12,13,13-12,14,15. So you said anyone calling this game bad cause they played like 2 games its the opposite they are people who like almost played every ff game calling that game bad. dumb comment and cope about it

[@nuke_raider]

Bro get realm reborn out of your filthy mouth suggesting that it’s worse then 8

[@askeladd60]

​@@ivaanunershit take.

[@ivaanuner]

@@askeladd60 you mean good take

[@AlterAce]

FF8 is an amazing game despite its flaws.

[@johngreen8921]

Xenoblade fans with their tutorials literally 50 hours in

I wouldn't really call FF8 the worst one out of the Final Fantasy games Personally. Out of the ones that I have played, the one that I would call the worst is definitely FF2. I mean good lord the grinding in that game makes constant Drawing in FF8 look like blitzing through a Sonic the Hedgehog stage. And I'm probably gonna make some geezers angry but I personally didn't care very much for FF4.
