Final Fantasy VIII

StarCrap · 13 Jan 2005

So uhhh.... glomping virgin did you beat FFVIII yet?

Japanimaniac · 13 Jan 2005

Yep! About 17 times now. I beat it the first time without GameShark, but now I usually use it, just so I can enjoy the story without worrying about all the time consuming stuff (as I do with most RPGs I play).

As you can probably tell, FFVIII is my favorite of them all. XD More for personal reasons than anything else. I'll admit that it isn't the most groundbreaking or original in the series. Although, the music and CG is the best, in my opinion.

StarCrap · 13 Jan 2005

AH! You S.O.B you cheated with a game shark second and ....17th time. >_< FFVIII is your favorite game for personal reasons? Hmmm kissing a girl/boy while you played, dirty! I love game music and I have to admit....it did have some good points.

Hehe, na. It's actually a corny, dorky story. FFVIII was the first PSX game I owned, the first FF I ever played (which led me to discover my favorite game series - Final Fantasy), and the first game I ever bought with my own money. Oh, and it got me into online role playing, which led me to find the girl of my dreams.

Unfortunatly, she's gone now...but I can't bring myself to be mad at her. But this isn't the Relationship topic, so no more about that.

BrennaCeDria · 13 Jan 2005

Actually, they don't kiss until the ending animation, and there's nothing dirty in it--just a cute, sweet, oh-my-god-squall-smiled *swoon* first kiss. And I was playing the game for the first time the at the same time I first developed a crush on the man that's now my boyfriend of five years (lived-with-him-for-a-year-officially-longer-unofficially-gonna-marry-him-if-he-asks), the "girl winning boy over" story in the game was perfectly timed to make it one of the best *** for me, beat out only by Locke and Celes's romance in FFVI.

Japanimaniac · 14 Jan 2005

Slightly off-topic...but I love the song Celes sings at the opera in FFVI. I have a save just before it so I can play that scene whenever I want.

Oh, and I think Star was saying it's my favorite game because I was kissing somebody while playing it, not because the characters kissed.

StarCrap · 14 Jan 2005

The characters kissed?? When was that? Must be at the end of the game.....-_-

Japanimaniac · 14 Jan 2005

Yep, the very end. After the credits, right before "Fin".

StarCrap · 14 Jan 2005

Just rub it in.......

Japanimaniac · 14 Jan 2005

XD Well...let's see...have you tried using Arua magic on all characters during Ultimecia? That way you can use Limit Breaks pretty often. The best Limit Breaks are Squall's Renzokuken (and hopefully he uses Lion Heart, but its rare), Quistis's Shockwave Pulsar, and Irvine's most powerful ammo...I think it's Pulse Ammo. Just pummel everything, and keep your party healed.

I'd give you a magical strategy...but I'm the kind of person that super-levels and just destroys everything with physical attacks.

ZellX · 14 Jan 2005

i remember beating this game .i love this game

BrennaCeDria · 14 Jan 2005

At any level/junction, Japanamaniac's strategy will kill her in about 3 hits per form.

Japanimaniac · 14 Jan 2005

Yeah, the only parts you really have to look out for is when you kill Griever (second form/battle), because he casts Shockwave Pulsar himself before going down. And when facing the fourth form/battle, make sure you take out Ultimecia's lower half as soon as you can target it, or her upper half will draw magic from it, then cast it. I think it's Armageddon...but whatever it is, it ain't good. Then just wait till she talks. It doesn't matter how much damage you do in between her phrases, and after she says "And...", hit her again. Voila.

Oh, and look out for that one spell that reduces everyone's HP to one during her fourth form. But there's plenty of recovery time afterwards, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Why exactly do you dislike it? Is it because you find the junction system too hard? The music is wonderful. As if the story. I'm not sure why you dislike it.

StarCrap · 14 Jan 2005

Hmm I thought I already explained it.

Anyone using this as an excuse HAS no excuse--that's what "Auto" is for. Auto junction atk if you want it to focus on your phys atk, junction mag if you want your magic power higher than the rest, and junction def if you want HP to get all the focus. Have 100 Esuna, and 100 Pain or Death, and those will automatically junction under any setting with the esunas under stat defense and the other under status attack 100%--only enemies that are immune won't take the effect. (Mas, I'm not refering to you, since you obviously know what's goin on.)

Japanimaniac · 15 Jan 2005

You know, I have yet to use the junction system as an actual strategy. I use GFs and their abilities all the time, but I've never been compelled to junction magic, except for Status ATK and DEF. When you start messing with Squall's Elem ATK later in the game, his Trigger ends up doing less damage than a non-critical attack, for whatever reason. But then again, like I said...I'm not a magic guy, so the junction system never appealed to me. ^.^

goggles · 15 Jan 2005

I detest Auto-Junction. Crap crap crap. Manually configuring your character yields much better results.

airforce1st · 17 Jan 2005

any one can post some pictures of this game?

Chiaki_Kuriyama_Fan · 8 Feb 2005

FFVIII plagued me for 3 months mocking me, i still think it was over the top to fight 3 forms ( or 4 can't remember ) i only beat her because mysquall was junctioned out, but i found this ff to be too talky, ff9 and x-2 rock...

You fight multiple bosses at the end of almost every RPG (and lots and lots of other games, too). FF8 didn't do anything unthinkable. That's what makes the final battle so "final".

BrennaCeDria · 9 Feb 2005

To prove Japanamaniac's post, a list of the *** with "multiple" final battles. And this is just one series of RPG--the Lufia series and Lunar series at least both have multiple bosses at the end of each game.

FF4: Zemus/Zeromus
FF5: X-Death/Neo X-Death
FF6: Goddess Tower (Doom, Poltergeist, Goddess)/Kefka
FF7: Bizarro Sephiroth/Safer (Seraph?) Sephiroth/Sephiroth (this part can't be lost, however)
FF8: Ultimecia/Griever/Ultimecia junctioned to Griever/True Ultimecia
FF9: ...yea, aside from the Yoda quote, I didn't pay much attention to whatever the thing in 9 was.
FF10: "Braska's Final Aeon"/All Aeons/Yu Yevon
FF10-2: Vegnagun tail/legs/head/head/Shuyen

Japanimaniac · 9 Feb 2005

Let's not forget Kingdom Hearts! That had the most final boss battles out of any FF-related game I've played. Ansem, Darkside, Ansem again, and then the whole giant evil ship at the end.

Chiaki_Kuriyama_Fan · 9 Feb 2005

meh i was wrong, but i just found 8's final bosses to be slightly more hard than any others....

Konami Kojima · 10 Feb 2005

I think Final Fantasy 8 rubbish compared to the other Final Fantasy games
