You know you've played FF8 too much when..

[Hearts]

I saw this on a different forum, so I thought it would be fun :)

Can you guys think of any?

[leonheart292]

you know you have played FF8 too much when... everytime you hear battle music you and your friends started making sounds along with the music.

forever imprinted in my mind. XD

[Shiny]

2. When you wear over one belt on one pair of pants.
3. When you own a gunblade.
4. When you cut your foredhead so you can look like Squall and Seifer.
5. When your best comeback is "chickenwuss".

[leonheart292]

i have done all of those at one time or the other. XD

[Hearts]

i have done all of those at one time or the other. XD
Ouch. Even the forehead thing?

[leonheart292]

damn straight. it didnt leave a scar though. :(
i aint doin it again though. it was like two years ago.

dont look at me like that... squall's my hero.

[Hearts]

Lol, I actually did have a surprised face on. :lol:

Hm..I saw this one earlier..
You know you've played FFVIII too much when you shout out to the tv directed to the characters not to do something because you know the outcome.

[leonheart292]

never done that one. there's nothing u can do... except watch and laugh. XD

zell is ALMOST as awsome as squall.

[BardTard]

when you forget something you blame it on the GF

[Hearts]

When you know more about the characters than they do!

Ehh. That one wasn't that great. lol

[Ryushikaze]

Make up wild, insane, and unprovable theories about the game.

Then expect people to take you seriously.

[Hearts]

You know you've played FF8 too much when you see the way the camera changes before you see the monsters in the battle and know what monsters you're going to fight.

[leonheart292]

i do that one too... more on X though. XD

you know you've played FF8 too much when you can recite conversations between characters word for word by memory.

[$howBiz]

1.When you have squallz name tattooed across the chest
2.When you walk around or run around like the characterz (which lookz really weird & cheap)
3.When you name all your petz after the characterz
4. When you have to see a doctor because this is bad for your health to be pretending to be a cactuar :)
5. When you think your school is garden & you think your friends are SeeDz
6. When you start the game over again 19 times to learn the words to the song in the first cut scene.
7. if you only play the game just to play the card game for hours on end.

sorry i just had to let that out
i have really sad friends lol or maybe its me that does all this :)

[daggertrepe]

When you dream about Quistis every night...:love:

[Christmas]

When you come up with 1859384 pages long of theories and insist they are the truth.

[BardTard]

You know you've played FF8 too much when you see the way the camera changes before you see the monsters in the battle and know what monsters you're going to fight.

I can tell when a T-Rexaur is coming. :mog: Really I can. When you're in Balamb running around in the bushes and the camera angle looks at the sky that means it's a T-Rexaur and not the worms.

[Arrianna]

When you need to name something and the only thing you can think of is names from the game.

Rinoa has been in many a game besides FFVIII. :laugh:

[Xurts]

The camera angle is random. It's the sounds at the start of battles that give it away.

[Hearts]

The camera angle is random. It's the sounds at the start of battles that give it away.

No its not, especially in the woods area outside of Balamb. The camera switches from the sky to the woods and goes around a circle, that means you're going to fight two of the catapillar things I don't remember how to spell for an example.

Anyway..

You know you've played FF8 too much when you read all of the ones above, nod your head, smile, and say, "Yup."

[blackmage_nuke]

When you walk up to a member of the opposite gender and say, hey baby wanna junction?

[Xurts]

The camera angle is random. It's the sounds at the start of battles that give it away.

No its not, especially in the woods area outside of Balamb. The camera switches from the sky to the woods and goes around a circle, that means you're going to fight two of the catapillar things I don't remember how to spell for an example.
It is random. Go fight some battles and see for yourself.

[HolyMackeral]

No its not random, of the 4 different battles in the training center (1, 2 or 3 grats or a t-rexaur) I can tell which it will be by the camera angle at start. It is always the same for each enemy.


You know you've played FFVIII too much when you shout out to the tv directed to the characters not to do something because you know the outcome.

I just did that, when Zell lets on that everyone is from garden when Seifer holds Delling hostage. I was like NO DONT SAY IT YOU IDIOT!

And you know youve played too much FF8 when you impale yourself on a stalagmite and live.

[Rocket Edge]

When you make sure to recieve the punishment before even going to timber :jokey:

[Hearts]

It is random. Go fight some battles and see for yourself.
Alright, I did.
The camera angles still switch different ways for particular monsters.


When you make sure to recieve the punishment before even going to timber :jokey:
LOL. Nice one.

[~SapphireStar~]

You know youve played too much FF8 when you start acting out scenes with your FF8 characters ... No I never have done! I swear!

[daggertrepe]

You know youve played too much FF8 when you start acting out scenes with your FF8 characters ... No I never have done! I swear!

I have. When I'm playing, I act thier lines out loud! :p

[BardTard]

When I'm playing, I act thier lines out loud! :p

And I thought I was the only person who did that. lol it's fun!

[Zeromus_X]

Oh, so...okay. I thought I was going crazy because I could eventually tell what monsters were appearing. xD Glad to know it isn't just me.

[NorthernChaosGod]

When you make lists like this....

[$howBiz]

If You Answered all da questionz in the SeeD testz right 1st time without guessing

[Hearts]

When you make lists like this....

Very true :lol:

[Shiny]

When you name your dog Angelo and expect him to attack enemies when you fling him at them.

[Hearts]

When you dress up as the characters for Halloween and get very irritated when no one knows who you are.

(I've done this.)

[snakebyte91]

when you start seeing t-rexuars instead of dogs and gnats instaed of tomato plants :D

(i know i cant spell)

[daggertrepe]

When you obsess over Quistis and make a name like "Dagger Trepe" and you prefer for everyone to refer to you as that name. :p

[celestial_dream]

you know you've played FFVIII too much when you start to fantasize going to a school that looks like Balamb Garden... heh

[_yeojina_]

You know you've played too much Final Fantasy VIII when you go to this forum. :D Look in my sig for more info.

[Hearts]

Lol! Those are great :D

[Omni-Odin]

1. When you compare you're love life to Squall and Rinoa, because you try to act like a hard arse and shes sort of a feminist.

2. When you constantly think that the world in FFVIII would be so much cooler to live in.

[Numb]

when you have alot of photos or screen shots for a video game that you haven't even played yet and you send them to people and.....that's when you know you want to play ff8 more than anyone else in the world
:crying2: :crying2: :weep: :weep: :crying2: :crying2: :weep: :weep: .........:whimper: ......:whimper: ....:whimper:

[Goldenboko]

When you can beat Omega Weapon Without junctioning any GF's (convinced it can't be done)

[BardTard]

when you compare everyone you know to one of the characters. I have a bad habit of doing this.

Squall-me, boyfriendish. we're both quiet, introverted "whatever" people.

Rinoa-"ex" (we didn't date but she thinks we did). she's a total whore.
my mom, always shoving her opinions on other people and starting arguments, trying to make people feel bad. my grandma, starting arguments as well and she always thinks she's right. ex best girl friend... everyone insults her art! :lol:

Zell- ex best guy friend. he's Zell, what more can I say? he's flamboyant and needs attention (the -LOVE ME OR I'LL GO CRAZY- kind), and everyone thinks he's bi or gay, though he swears he's straight. also he tends to act impulsively sometimes over really dumb things and is kind of a whiner.

Quistis- geometry teacher :drool: all the guys and even some girls in my school wanna do her. she's frickin sexy. :love:

Selphie-friend I haven't heard from in a while, and me when I'm in a good mood sometimes. I dress like her sometimes and I say "tee-hee" and "whoo-hoo" alot. both me and my friend like bombs and explosions and all that awesome stuff... :D :D :D I'm more of a Squall though usually.

Irvine-nobody really... my ex sort of. he's a straight guy, who else can I compare him to? lol

sadly there's nobody like Laguna. :( or Seifer I don't think but oh well.

[celestial_dream]

I think I've got another one..
You know you've played FFVIII too much when you start to copy the characters' hairstyles..I tried to copy Rinoa's...But... it didn't turn out pretty good as straight.. So I curled my hair. It still has the brownish/copper highlights, though... hehe

[Hyperion4444]

1-You get the Lionhearth before disk 3
http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=88434

2-When you survive Omega weapon's Terra Break without summoning any GFs, any Heroes, Defend or any kind of supports but just his attack against your characters.

3- When you pass more than 99:99 hours of gameplay on a single game (the counters turns red, starts back from zero)

4- When you defeat Omega Weapon with no GF. (too easy, require poketstation or a hell of a lot of patience to make your characters!)

5- (easy one) When you know all the monsters locations, what they drop, what they mug, and knowing where and what you need to complete your ultimate weapons.

6- (normal one) when you completed the game over 40 times and replay it just to do the things you haven't done in your other games. (even if it's just the Missil Base Dancing Soldiers...)

7- (easy one, everyone knows that, rigth?) About that camera angle thing: All monsters in a disting location has 2 camera angles (the one grat will have 2 camera angles and the two grats will have two more angles, if you know what I mean...)

8- (easy) When you kill Ultimecia/Griever before it gets cut down in half.

9- (...) When you shot more shots of Irvine Fast Shot attack than your own turbo controller.

10- Defeat Omega Weapon Before it does his Terra Break while only having Rinoa to attack and having everything besides Limit Breaks & Items as support without Heroes, Holy Wars Or their Trials.
(This will come a surprise to no one that I own Omega. I'm the boss, not him.)

P.S. all thoses that are not easy or normal are Hardcore.
Let's see... what else?

A- When your friends looks at you and say that you look like Squall. Some of my friends said that to me. Plus, I have a scar on my face.
Then again, I look like a lot of other characters in many different games who all look alike..., build like them too .

B- When you start to dress the same as them. (Black leather coat and a pair of black leather hunting boots, and maybe even a gunblade, Ideal for any extreme situation)

C- When you go on a 3h trip just to buy a copy of FFVIII best hit for PS because you only had the PC version. (What! I love this game!)
Oh, and by the way, it's 3h to go, 3h to come back, and the only reason you went there is to buy that game!

D- When you have a chance to have all the hotties, but prefers to be alone or wait for the one.
I've got the one,... just not quite yet.

E- When you wish so hard they would make a sequel, prequel or remake... then again, everyone does!

F- When you start to think it would be better if you can choose your love interest (http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=89040) in games instead of being fixed with just that one... most people would like that.

G- When, at first, you heard about FFVII from a friend who overated it (but, at the time...), then you see FFVIII in a store, and it's like the game was calling you, you wondered why and backed out, but knew you had to play for some reason...
(same goes for XIII trailer... it called me, but XII didn't impress me, so I not going to buy XII but buy XIII.)
See the Trailer (http://www.hellandheavennet.com/ff13/trailers)

H- When you play FFVII and your disapointed because alot of FFVIII elements were missing, Keyword Loveless, comes screw over the game, along with everything else...
The only real thing about FFVII that I liked about was their Materia System, the rest I didn't liked... the story, the graphics, the gameplay, the characters, the music scores, the summons... everything... BUT!

I- When you see Dirge of Cerberus: FFVII and whant to buy it just because it's got the name Cerberus has title, but fear you migth not like it because it has FFVII in it too!
(I got this killer Wallpaper thats totaly K.A. Now I like the characters ''upgrade&change'' and the graphics, let's hope i can still say that about it when I play it.)
Wallpaper (http://www.hellandheavennet.com/image.php?image=/ff7doc/wall/10a.jpg)

J- When A friend Girl looks like Selphie (has the same month and astro sign as Selphie), and you tease her, that little messenger girl... There's one insult that I can burn her with for the rest of her life, lol. But I make sure to say ''nothing personal, don't take it serious, it's just a joke!'' And, of course, I mean no harm, btw, I think she likes being teased anyway, ok.

K- ...nah, It's too funny and embarasing for that guy. lol. It's the same guy who talked to me about Cloud in FFVII.
It's a big insult he said while trying to make FFVIII look bad, ended up insulting himself with HIS insult who he got mixed up in.
We just said to shup up because it began to be ambarrasing for him...

L- I'd rather not say, it's so far fetched...

M- This goes to everyone...
When you have more than 1000 pictures, wallpapers, screenshots... of that game

Thanks goes to you, Hearts for making this forum!

[Lightning]

When you eat to many hotdogs... :p

[Hearts]

Thanks goes to you, Hearts for making this forum!
You're verrrry welcome :D
I liked your examples, they were really funny..and true! Brightened my day up.

[Hyperion4444]

That was just the Epilogue...

There's a lot more where that came from!

I truly hope you enjoyed it!
Hearts, and everyone else.

[PerpetualBurn]

When you go to a bar and are surprised that they don't serve phoenix downs.

When you prune the conifers to resemble a cactuar.

When you fantasise excessively about Camilla Belle just because she looks like Rinoa.

[Freya Coral]

Make up wild, insane, and unprovable theories about the game.

Then expect people to take you seriously.

::cough cough::Rinoa=Ultimecia::cough cough::

When you try to resurrect someone with a Phoenix Down. "He's not dead, he's just KO'ed!"

When you use Selphie-isms in everyday speech, such as "tee-hee," "whoo-hoo!," and "Booyaka!"

If you answered all the SeeD test questions right without looking at the strategy guide.

If you go to a junk shop, give them Adamantine, four Dragon Fangs, and 12 Pulse Ammos and tell them to make you a Lionheart.

If you beat Ultima and Omega weapons without the use of Holy Wars.

When you refer to your arch-rival as "puberty boy."

[Shiny]

When you desperately want a griever necklacke. (Sort of guilty.)

When you make in depth FF8 walkthroughs.

When you post pictures of FF8 characters in your school locker.

When you own a cardboard cutout of an FF8 character you have a crush on and then kiss it goodnight all the time.

[Hyperion4444]

More:
-When you kill Ultimecia/Griever before it gets cut down in half.

-When you shot more shot of Irvine Fast Shot attack than your own turbo controller.

[Cookie]

Garnet Trepe sounds better

Anyway when you kill Omega Weapon... He's too hard:cry:

[Hyperion4444]

Anyway when you kill Omega Weapon... He's too hard:cry:

But he's always fun to defeat.

[Hearts]

He gets easy after the first few times. You just have to have strategy.

I could never come up with as many examples as you..

[Qurange]

I'm really hoping that that's actually not possible, because I have no idea how many times I've played it, by now, but it's a lot.

So...When you talk about 'this' playthrough, like they're all unique and beautiful snowflakes.

[ChibiKadaj]

When you...

1) Start humming music from it in class
2) Act like your favorite characters[Selphie]
3) Know way to many lines from every character
4) Know every single spot a monster is at and how difficult it is
5) You know the dance from SeeD Dance with Rinoa and Squall
6) When you watch your friend play and tell them ahead of time that they are going to die unless they do this.

I have more but can't think off them right now.

[Hexarar]

Argh! Rib cage hurts when I laugh, shouldn't be reading this...
You have played too much FFVIII when

1. You try to do the flick-flack-thingy that Zell does in his introduction movie just because he did it... (I did)
1.1. ...and succeed... (I did)
1.2. ... and afterwards you realize you broke a rib because two first tries failed so bad. (I did)

2. You name your collie Angelo... (I did)
2.1. ... and when you get into a fight and get hit it comes and attacks your foe head on (not teeth, the dumb skull!) ... (it did)
2.2. ... and you're not even surprised. (Well, got to admit, I was.)

3. You play Triple Triad so long you get enough Elnoyle cards to be able to refine enough whatchamacallits to get the ultimate weapons. (well, it was my first playthrough, I missed Alexander, I could not find Elnoyles, and Blitzes weren't dropping any Power Generators.)
