Yeah, I’ve always wanted them to do SOMETHING else with FFVIII. I still think in terms of gameplay, and definitely story and characters, it was better than FFVII and can easily compete with most of the games in the series.

How about a game where all you do is press two bumons- X to summon something, and square to power up that summon while you wait for the 3 and a half minute cinematic to end?

I was never a big fan of 8. Only chracters I really liked where Laguna and Kiros.

Ok and Seifer was pretty cool.

Though give me 6 anyday. Log in to see images!

i’ve played 1 through 10 (with the exception of 7. don’t know why that one eluded me) and i really just don’t like 8. the junctioning system was confusing simply because i would sometimes not play for a week and i would have forgotten what was junctioned to who or what effect it had on which or whatever. **** that. and squall was just sort of a ****e character. i got to the tower at the end of the game and just stopped playing because my playstation controllers died and now i have no tv to hook the playstation up to anyway.

I know I sure love games where most of the dialogue is composed of ”...”

I may get killed for this, but in many ways I liked XII most. The plot, the mechanic and all were very different, and with a couple exceptions worked very well, IMO. Of course, then they make a Japan only version with an exclusive job system(which I hate) and Trial Mode(which I love). Sigh… It’s like Kingdom Hearts 2, only enjoyable.

how in the **** did you dodge 7?

Seriously…

That game was on hype lists for years…

wasn’t intentional, i meant to buy it and somehow just forgot about it.

Ehh, 8 was alright. I never finished it for some reason, as I neared the end, my characters were way too weak to survive. I probably missed something huge and therefore a lot of experience.

I really liked 5, 6 and 7. I loved the job system in 5, 6 had such a great plot and wonderfully developed characters, and 7 was simply a clbumic. 8 had some characters I really liked, but it just wasn’t as cohesive to me. Since I was in college, I haven’t had as much time to try the newer ones…I’d play and by the time I went back to them, I couldn’t remember what I was supposed to do.

How about Chrono Trigger? Chrono Cross was such a disappontment…

Not really. Final Fantasy VIII’s leveling system made it that whatever your party’s average level was, the enemy would be that level.

Let’s say you had one level 100 character, a level 10, and a level 40 character. Well add that up to 150, divide by 3 to get 50 as the average. So the enemy would be level 50. The last boss in FFVIII, Ultimecia, has a maximum level of 65/75 (I forget which right now), yet every other enemy has no level cap.

However, you did quite frankly miss tons of things I’m sure. Depends on where you stopped playing really.

No one said it yet, so I will. VIII had the hottest lady. Quistis Trepe coulda had me bebes if she were real.

Lulu from X, hands down. To paraphrase Flem Comics: “Bit tittied goth chickie ftw.”
