In the modern always-on era there's possibly too many games now (unpopular opinion?), but it's great that people still connect to FFVIII!

@@metalstnick6664 It is common to see every student carrying their phones and headphones around. So of course, you can walk around campus with any song of your choosing and listen to it while walking in campus. If you can do that in campus, you can do that anywhere.

Oh man i think no other game track hit me like this one. All the nostalgia dude, i freaking love this game as kid, spend so many hours.

[@JDubDotEXE]

What I think is particularly great is that Uematsu knew that you'd be hearing this track a *lot* during gameplay, so made sure it was one of the best compositions he made for the game. Although saying that, the whole soundtrack is bangers!

This game literally saved my life back in my teens. My teenage years were rough, to put it mildly. But FF8 completely pulled me in and away from real world problems for a while, such an amazing experience. Timeless music. This game deserves a remake too.

[@JDubDotEXE]

Justice for FFVIII Remake! Especially now that there's rumours of one for FFIX! 🤨

[@deylStong]

listening to this whenever i feel lonely. bring backs my inner early teen days. just sitting playing ff8 on a saturday morning. so calm and peaceful era.

[@Torinna_]

I will always say FFVIII has the best soundtrack in FF. There are way too many good tracks to name. And yet I always come back to this one

[@JDubDotEXE]

They're both excellent for different reasons, but VIII edges it over VII for me too. I think part of that might be that Uematsu had more experience writing for the PSX sound chip for VIII, whilst he originally started work on VII for the SNES before moving to the PSX. I don't know how much he had composed/completed at that point, but it's definitely food for thought!

[@Torinna_]

@@JDubDotEXE VII is a very close second. For me it’s the incredibly emotional songs VIII has that makes me love it. This game’s soundtrack has always just resonated with me more than any other game

I cant believe im listening again my fav childhood game theme song again. Now. While im working at the office and already have 2 kids ❤️

[@JDubDotEXE]

I'm beginning to wonder if there's some sort of subgenre or some label to put on this, there's been a few people drop by recently that say they've now got children but find themselves pining for this. Is this nostalgiacore?

[@hp2546]

You can even encounter this kind of music even at a grocery store. I remember when I went to Hong Kong Supermarket way back in 2006, Balamb Garden was playing in that background. Someday, if you take your kids to any supermarket, you might encounter this kind of song. Sometimes, you find strange music in strange locations.

[@rickpeters9174]

Got 1 and 1 on the way, at work thinking about my childhood. It's a craving of going back and it hurts. It's beautiful but also sad

[@spino-tinodon1146]

I used to hear this song in my mind every day when I went to the university that I graduated from.

[@JDubDotEXE]

My IRL job is on a university campus, so every so often it pops into mine too!

[@hp2546]

I remember actually hearing this song 1 time at Hong Kong Supermarket. I know songs like this happen once so I consider this a rare song to listen to. I mean I would not expect to hear this song the 2nd time I go to Hong Kong Supermarket. So anyways, this song is part of a reason why I tend to shop at Hong Kong Supermarket. Weird right. We all hear this song from strange places. Just like the university you graduate from, you ended up hearing that song when you least expect it because who would of thought any university would like to reference one of the FF8 theme song?

The only final fantasy game I ever played growing up and as til this day as an adult a cousin of mine had it I popped it in and fell in love with the balamb garden and that song playing man 😢 so nostalgic casually listen to it while working to relax and remember a happy time in life with no worries and hours to explore

[@JDubDotEXE]

I'm glad it could take you back!

[@Tanwolly]

I come back to listen to this song to suffer. I yearn so badly for the peace, comfort, and innocence I felt when this song would play as I watched my brother play Final Fantasy 8. I was still too young to understand, I couldn’t ever make it past Ifrit’s Cavern. It physically hurts my body and soul to hear this, knowing there was ever a period in time I could feel this happy. My brain has warped this memory so strongly it almost feels like I haven’t smiled a single time since then. I’ve been struggling to find a reason to live, to be honest. I spend every waking minute drowning in a pool of deep nostalgia, knowing I could never hope to be even a fraction as content and blissful as I was in my childhood. Why continue fighting this losing battle? I have never met a single person that could give me one valid reason to stay alive.

[@JDubDotEXE]

That's some pretty deep emotional damage right there. All I can offer is some small solace that the peace and comfort will be here whenever you need it...

[@joshuaerickson5930]

I agree. I've been in a state of emotionallessness.... if there's such a word. But with some odd turn of events. If just an hour of complete bliss and peaceful music. Makes my day if just for a moment. Totally worth it. 😊

[@captlanc]

That's childhood for you. All our childhoods are so nice. Our young brains don't even know we are being abused unless the abuse is really bad. We felt love and safe. I think in adulthood, the path to feeling grounded and at peace is to find something you want to do and do it. Could be a profession or a hobby. Something that gives meaning and purpose and joy.

[@fifdimension8851]

I feel your pain bro. This point in .y life my brother and i played this amd legend of dragoon and it was the only time my brother and i ever bonded. Life seemed so simple in those moments. Im hoping you can find some happiness in this mundane life! Im rooting for you!

[@Aeriz]

i remember when i was a kid, and my parents where guests over a good friends house. they where talking and chattin, and i was allowed to play the only game that was on the house. ff8 on ps1. i'm german, and the game was all english. i've never played a game for such a long time. they didnt stop talking, so i was able to play the game almost the whole night. now i'm 30, and i still play this game. sometimes on the road, i use an emulator. sometimes at home, on my ps4. sometimes just for fun. both of my parents are dead now, but they shared the same dream - to never forget your fantasy. and that my friends, is final.

I think if you were to level up Quistis and Rinoa (and everyone tbf) whilst having Squall KOed all the time it might be doable?

This felt like the time when everything was simple.

[@JDubDotEXE]

Things were never simple, it was just before it was so obvious that they weren't... Sorry, that's a little pessimistic, but I blame The Internet™.

There's just something about Uematsu's mastery of music that allows you to drift away and be absorbed by the setting.

You may even encounter this even if you leave your house and your video game and go out shopping for food. To give you an example, in 2006, all I did is go grocery shopping at Hong Kong Supermarket and Balamb Garden theme song was playing in the radio. All the customers shopping can hear it. This accidental encounter most likely happen once. So even if you leave the world of video games and leave your house, even video game theme song might randomly follow you.

Yes! That will be like going to sleep while everyone else stays up late during curfews. I mean when you go out on a training mission with Quistis, they will talk about how some of the cadets stays up late during that curfew hours. So that can be a reminder that you can sleep when it is curfew hours while others stay up late.
