Thread: Have you ever completed this game?

  1. #1

    Default Have you ever completed Final Fantasy VIII?

    I got to the space station and after Rinoa opened up that tomb the game froze up on me.

    I suggest if you know anyone with the game you borrow it from them and play until you are passed the point where the game freezes and save. Then you can resume playing on your normal disc. Though other problems may arise later and continually borrowing the game might seem abit annoying.
    The first time i played the game stopped somewhere in the dollet mission

    Ive completed the game but another problem with mine was the rumble option kept turning itself off.

    Ive completed it and a tip if you ever get to complete it, keep watching right to the end of the credits or you'll be left thinking
    "OHHH NOOOOO!! no way! thats sad!"
    as i did and then i phoned my friend and was like "OMG wth about the end"
    and she was like "you idiot thats not what happened you missed the bit where..."
    ...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.
    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.

    That's very true it seems so bleh until you keep watching. I hate it when endings do that
    "geroeen, pulsa nyet, tolska tanee pre chem"
    "Beauty is a perception tainted by ego;
    Love is an extension of great emotion;
    Fear is the result of uncertainty;
    Sadness is a collection of misery."

    I think its the easiest FF to complete, but has one of the best endings to it!
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    the easiest ff to complete is FFX in my thought
    It is too specific. Plus the map tells you where to go all the time. (EVIL RED ARROW)

    No time for "Dilly-Dallying" or "Shilly-Shallying."
    Props go to the one and only, Proxy, for the signature.

    easiest? FFX was far from easiest, infact it was the only FF I ever had trouble on, did you ever fight Pennance?

    Penance was only available in non NTSC copies of FFX. And beating FFX actually wasn't very difficult, BFA was pretty easy, even with a lowered leveled party, and well for the rest of the fights you couldn't die. All of the optional bosses where pretty toughing (Minusing Omega what a disappointment he was). FFX laid out exactly how to complete the main story, so I would say it was quite easy to complete.

    Yes ive completed it, and i agree its a really great ending!

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?

    I've beaten quite a few times. Its ending is a little too fairy tale for me though.

    I have problems with my disc as well since I got a small scratch on the 3rd disc that appears during a simple cutscene that lasts a minute. Due to the scratch it now takes 20 minutes... Throw in the fact I felt the cutscene in question is a bit unnecessary (SPOILER)(its the one where the pillar places itself over the Lunar Point) and you can see why I've been a bit hesitant to play.

    X is the easiest to complete. Yeah the extra challenges are hard but they are completely optional and hold no benefits gameplay or storywise except for bragging rights. The main story is pathetically easy.

    Most likely more times than VII, and IX, and easily far more times than II through to VI, as well as X. More than I on the other hand... I ain't so sure.

    I'm not sure why, but I have actually played through this game an insane number of times.

    Since when was an RPG actually hard?

    Final Fantasy VIII was fun because it gave you multiple optional challenges along the way. (Goliath/XATM092 'black widow', some GFs, Weapons, some selectable enemy encounters and optional bosses)
    If only there were more of thoses.
