I'm sure if Square ever decided to make anything based on Final Fantasy VIII it would be mind-blowing, so personally, as always, I trust them. I don't really care if they do or don't. If they do, awesome, I'll be able to live one of my favorite installments of the series again in a new way. If not, awesome, there will be plenty of great new Square games to keep me entertained.

Actually, since we're on the subject, I always thought Laguna would make a good star for a film, whether it's a spinoff, backstory, or whatever. I would dig a live action film with Laguna Loire, even if it wasn't made by Square. I don't know how good of a game you'd be able to make with him since everything really interesting about him is already known and sort of played through, although I'm sure they could come up with a great film plot, what do you think? I've always thought about the possibility of good live action movies made on the premise of Square games. Half the fun would be seeing the awesome realistic cosplay.
