Greatest Final Fantasy game don't @ me
I don't even have anything to say about this game, really. It's just great vibes.
I loved the characters and the humour. I liked the stupidly convoluted, batshit story. It honestly has some of the most hype cutscenes and set pieces I've seen in this franchise. I liked the unique battle system and the Junctioning function to switch up your gameplay style as needed.
I will say, I'm actually surprised we never got a Laguna spin-off game. He was definitely my favourite character in the game and I would love to see more of his (mis)adventures.

Ultimecia is the shittiest boss I've ever seen in my entire gaming life.
At the end of game, the developers decided to shit a disgusting boss that is impossible to beat until ALL GF & characters (not just in the squad) are pushed to the limit. And even so, it's not a given that you'll beat it the first time.
Sorry, but I refuse to call a good game forcing the player to endlessly grind.
Also the basic plot of this game is broken by the lack of any logic to the action. It was not thought through to the end and dumped on the player just some set of incidents in which he must participate.
FFVII is much better than this game in every way.

One of my favorite chapters since my childhood. This Remastered version is very well done, it's always nice to be SeeD again! I gladly replayed Final Fantasy VIII after all these years, the story is as enjoyable as the first time!
The Junction system is way simpler than what ppl were complaining about and allows for some cool things that weren't in games back then. It needs bit or refinement as far as the collecting of magicks. But other than that, I enjoyed what I played.
