ff8 is my favourite so im definitely Nostalgia compromised.

A surprising number of people consider it "the dedicated FF8 expansion" because of GNB and Eden, even though Eden was pretty light on direct references.

either its on other shard

or post imperial garlemald becomes it

I didn't say it's "dedicated ff8 expansion" nor that I've seen people saying that. I disagree on eden being "light" on direct references though. We literally fight eden itself as first boss, gaia is so ultimecia coded, as e12 shows, and let's not forget the field of flower thing with ryne and gaia refering to squall and rinoa. There are othrr smaller references as well

GNB is very direct reference too. Instead of "job that is based on older ff game", it's "squall's job but in ff14".
