If Final Fantasy 8 was made by Bioware

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

We would've gotten a better story and the romantic subplot would've been a lot more open-ended.

Ok.

Cool, the dark ending would have been Squall blasting Linkin Park while Headmaster Cid made him mow Balamb Garden's lawn.

Lol, nothing about this thread makes sense. BioWare makes Western RPGs and SE makes Eastern RPGs. With that said, wtf are you talking about? So if FFVI had been made by Bungie, Kefka would be replaced by the Prophet of Truth.

<_<

bioware made kotor it could have been better, considering its been 5 years and there's still updates and expanded content being made for it

and zas is right this thread makes no sense its like asking if the fruit would be better if apple/orange trees swapped.

[blackmage_nuke]

I disagree

[LunarWeaver]

I agree with nuke.

[NeoCracker]

The real question is what if M. Night Shamalon made this game.

If he did it would make perfect sense.

[Marky Tee]

if i made it it would have sucked

If SquareSoft (at the time) had not decided to wuss-out, the original script of FF8 had it running 7 CDs in length. It could've been everything you were hoping for without plot holes.

I would post linkage, but I can't find the site I found that tidbit on.

If King Lear had been written by Team Sonic instead of William Shakespeare, there would've been more blue hedgehogs and less Elizabethan English.

[Shattered Dreamer]

This thread unsettles me. Bioware wouldn't be capable of making a game that stands the test of time like any of the Final Fantasy series. I haven't found any game of the current generation (PS3,Xbox 360,Wii) thats comes close to the genius of Final Fantasy VIII. There are some really great games to be sure but I can't say any of them will make me want to play them again 10 years after they were realised like FFVIII which I restarted 2 days ago. Really the subject matter of this thread makes very little sense

Uh Baldur's Gate 2?

Not to mention, KotOR? Even Mass Effect is shaping up nicely to be a great WRPG series.

Actually, as far as "timeless" classics go, Chrono Trigger has held it's reputation 5 years longer than Baldur's Gate II (CT released in 1995, BG 2 didn't come out until 2000).

Back on topic (seriously, this is not a discussion about BGII. Quit the pointless back and forth bickering), if FF8 had been made by BioWare, it wouldn't be FF8. Look at CT and BGII. Both great games, and both very different. If you like the WRPG style of BioWare's titles, like BGII and Mass Effect, fine, go play them. But that does not mean that every RPG in existance should be like one of those games. Final Fantasy games have their own strengths and focuses, and FF8 does as well.
