What would have made FF8 a much better game?

**EvenAngelsFall** · 05-07-2003, 05:21 PM

Like i said for ::What would make ff7 and even better game::, enhanced graphics and sound, And voice for every character and person you meet insted of text word conversations, dont touch the story line or game play, its just perfect, well mabey a extended ending like a alternate ending or extended journey.

woooo... another sucker for features. Graphics don't matter to me, the sound was good as it was, and they probably would have cast TERRIBLE voice actors.

Personally i liked the junction system and the draw system. It WAS a great game.

Side-Quest Character Development. I didn't care if Squall and Rinoa got the main points of plot, but somewhere in between they should've put mini-quests (which you have to do) to get to know each character better. I mean the other main characters did develop a lot during the game, but it was all blocked off by the story of Squall and Rinoa.

Actually, Squall's voice actor in KH was really good. The guy that does Dauragon's voice would be good for Seifer. Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack) would be Kiros and well, maybe Steve Lucas (Spike Spiegel) would be a good choice for Laguna.

They could've upped the difficulty. My first play through the game I made it all the way to Adel with most of my chracters in thier twenties and only 4 GFs (first three plus Cerebrus).

well, i kinda suck at video games so i say don't make it any harder then it is. What i think they should have is a difficulty setting like in kingdom hearts, normal and hard. That prolly would have made ppl a little more happier with it's difficulty.

More Mini Game , yeaH Triple Triad RoX!

And the story too linear for me

Gameplay ..... 100% Perfect!! although many of u will not agree with me

More character development, and if Squall and Rinoa weren't such wussy lovers. A kiss at the end I can barely see? Puh-lease. I want some real romance.

xD! Lol I totally agree with you ShlupQuack!

I'm really stupid so I have to ask, whats a plothole? Sorry ^.^

As far as the game goes.. the battle system and the summons (even though I don’t use them) took too long.
Also the Card game was a good idea, but it was poor how you had to play it to get the best items....I hate square softs sub games!!!!

As far as a story this would be like revising Homers works...disrupting one element may destroy the whole deeper meaning of the experience.

Basically Squall is a man on the path to enlightenment, he defeats the gods and becomes the absolute, the politics of the world set the scene for what develops into a holy war...between man and god.

The history of this war is deep rooted in Lagunas story and both in Love and the destruction of god Squall laguna's son succeeds him. (Rinoa was Julias daughter i.e. Laguna failed to get julia and Ragnarok was brought on by Squall the holy war) Even the final scene is reminiscent of the Odyssey...the unity between man and women (a scene that most would consider cliché, and only the very few know its true depth)

definetly some more chcarter devolpent for the others. rather than the hefty focus on squall and rinoa.an uppage in difficulty would have been nice too. a few more involving side quests, how about acually being able to acces the towns ect in time compression ? and perharps edea as a permanent party member ?

**Besimudo** · 05-21-2003, 09:15 AM

Edea as a permanent party member is a great idea.

Nothing, it's fine the way it is.

DCI Forever!!

yeah i dont see any reason why she shouldent be, it'd be great. it was heaps good using her while you could, and they could have even given her more limit break stuff ect. mabey even cause for another side quest or something.....alas

My only major complaint is the SeeD ranking system. I prefer getting money from the monsters I fight rather than regular payments (even if monsters with money is illogical). The problem is promotions/demotions affect your income and the game sometimes punishes you for straying from the storyline.

Other than that I though it was a great game. Especially the monster/GF designs and Triple Triad. And the music.

The triple triad was confusingwith all those rules Ididn't undetrstand it until I played FF9 in which the card game was less confusing. I went back to 8 and realized the games were a variation of each other. I still don't understand certain rules in the game though.
