FF8! What's Wrong With It?

[Jolts]

1. No MP consumption system
2. GF has HP
3. No weapon shop or armor shop
4. you had to "make" your own weapons
5. only 3 people in a party!?
6. if you run away from a battle, you have to go into menus.
7. too much camera angles

1. I think we all agree on that one .
2. I liked that. It keeps you safe from damage. Very helpful when you're almost KOed.
3. Like Ultima Shadow said, technically the Junk Shop is a weapon shop.
4. Kind of annoying, yes, but I don't have a real big problem with it.
5. Better than one.
6. You lazy ass .
7. This only a problem when it affects the loading time too much.
[q=DJzen]WAAAAAAAY too much eye candy[/q]
I like eye candy . However, like the camera angles thing, it's a problem when it causes the loading time to take a lot longer.

When you'r going to master FFVIII... just don't forget to keep your characters at as low level as possible until you get the "status boosting at level up" abilities.

[Jolts]

Why? It's more of a challenge when you're at high levels. I thought you were always looking for challenges, Ultima Shadow.?

I found nothing wrong with FFVIII. I liked junctioning, and although drawing wasn't fun, I didn't mind it either.

And I liked all the characters, too. As for Squall "suddenly falling for Rinoa for NO REASON!!!! OMG!!!" These characters are teenagers, right? 16 or 17 or so?

When I was 16, there was this girl I had feelings for. For months we talked online and stuff but she didn't like me back. Actually, she disliked me. In person, she would ignore me and everything.

One day, she came over my house for about an hour. We hung out for that short amount of time. Nothing amazing happened; we talked and watched tv and stuff.

The next day she asked when she could see me again. We've been dating since then. Why the hell did she go from disliking me to wanting to go out with me, and then maintaining a strong relationship with me since then? I dunno. We're teenagers. We're crazy, man.

I personally find Squall's change in attitude towards Rinoa not exactly "realistic", but I find it entirely possible.

But that's just my opinion. And I'm a teenager. And remember: We're crazy.

true. i think i got just before Abaddon on disc 3 without a single level up on one of my plays. but then ffIX or ffVI was released and i forgot about it .

lol ffVIII i found was still easy at uber-high levels. in fact i found it slighty easier at high levels(i was clattering bosses in one turn and stuff). at low levels i even got a game over ( on that machine at the Galbadia missle base).

Aeris2001x2 FF mastering= Max out stats of all characters and alot of other stuff.
Aeris2001x2's mastering in FFVIII= If he don't get the status boosting abilities, it will be a hell to max out the stats. The status boosting abilities only works at level up. Therefore Aeris will have to get those abilities at as low level as possible. That will make status maxing soo much easier for little Aeris.

Me, Ultima Shadow is not going to beat the game at level 7 or something.

[Jolts]

I never really used the "Bonus" abilities. I always relied on items and 'Devour.' 'Course, those were with GameShark, so they were much easier...maybe I oughtta use the "Bonus" abilities in my current, cheatless file...?

[aeris2001x2]

lol. even if i use the GF level up stat abilities from lowest levels possible, do u have any idea how long it would take to max stats without junctioning?(u knowing, spending ages fighting to get certain items, then refining it into an item that increases a stat by like 1).

i started it once but cause i,d leveled up like hell, i missed the stat bonuses, so it was gonna take about 1000 hours or sumthin.

[Ultima Shadow]

Seriously, when mastering... you don't mean you'll max every stat WITHOUT junctioning!!!??? Trust me... that'll take 32,000 years!!!

[aeris2001x2]

it must be done...and it wont take TOO long...will it?

[Ultima Shadow]

Well, I've heard you can get alot of gil by selling Mega Potions which can easily be refined from Mezmerise Blades... but yes, It'll still take a very long time...

[Jolts]

DEVOUR!!

It's one of the easier ways to increase your stats. If you have the Bradygames guide, then I know you can look in its bestiary to find out which monsters increase which stats at which levels.

[aeris2001x2]

wow i never knew that move existed. which GF teaches u that move?

[Jolts]

Eden starts out with it, and you can refine the Pupu card into a Hungry Cookpot, which can teach Devour to any GF you'd like. Also, you can rarely get a Hungry Cookpot from Angelo with its "Angelo Search" skill.
