So my views on the series are pretty much the exact opposite of Skyblade’s, today I learned


FFVIII is goofy but that’s okay. It knows far better what it is than FFVII ever did and the mechanics are actually fun to mess around with this time around. When I had my marathon, I was surprised with how much fun I was having with FFVIII, despite the fact that i never had fond memories of it before. Now I like it a lot and think it’s much better than VII, though one thing I did always enjoy was Squall, whom I still love and co spider the best protagonist in mainline FF - that’s how you write a character that’s both dynamic and relatable. One thing I enjoyed considerably less than the first time was the music, which I think is the worst in the numbered series, though I know a lot of people disagree
