Eyes On Plays Final Fantasy VIII!

[Baloki]

...the greatest Final Fantasy of all time, that's right folks, Eyes On Plays Final Fantasy VIII is here!

Welcome to Balamb Garden, I'll be your instructor for your time here. If you do well you too could become a first class member of the elite force, SeeD. So let's get started shall we?

First let's go over the basics shall we? As a trainee you will be required to prove your worth, this will be determined via a series of tests or “challenges”, for every challenge you complete you will gain a SeeD Rank (1 to A). In total there are 31 challenges available, complete all 31 and you will become an A Rank member of SeeD. Remember you don't have to complete all the challenges in order to sucSeeD in your goal, you just have to complete them all, and remember the most important rule, have fun and also annoy FF7 fanboi's.

So on to the challenges I hear you shout? I've listed them in below, starting with gameplay related challenges first, and then extra side missions later on. Screenshots are encouraged, we all like a good oogle at how everyone else is doing.

1. Rename Squall to a name of your choice and post a screenshot.
2. Complete the Dollet Mission and graduate with no less then a SeeD rank of 8.

I just got this on an emulator today. I'll work on this a little bit while juggling Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger on the other hand.

HELL YEA

[Marshall Banana]

I doubt that anyone will complete it!

[Vermachtnis]

There's an VIII? I thought they skipped over this and went straight to IX. Well whatever, I hope it doesn't have an emotionless guy with an obnoxious clingy girl who both use absurd weapons. That would be the worst.

I'm on the second disc already... I'm more interested in doing the "Crazy Theory" contest. S=U FTW!!!!

My head has just exploded. I can't wait to start this. (Still have about three minutes to wait in my time zone. xD)

I'll be sitting the actual game out, my disk 3 is dead and I can't bear to get that far and stop again

Looking forward to the theory challenge. I could give that a good shot

[thePSgamer]

I'm down. Bring on the challenges

[Boney King]

This is lame. I wanted to do this, then I got a major assignment for my film class just the other day.

[Jessweeee♪]

Hooray :D!

S=U is possible because of Rinoa's linkage, seeing that Square has replaced Rinoa with Selphie in some areas of Final Fantasy VIII.

I rather call it S*R=U.
