My Long Overdue Eureka Topic

[Ruf]

I agree with everything here. Except saying FF8 had a garbage story.

I also agree with a good chunk of what Aster_e stated besides the comment about final fantasy 8. Outside of xi, ff8 is my favorite final & that's because I think 8 got the most realistic storyline of them all. Besides, triple triad cards game initially came from ffviii (unless im mistaken…) & it was great back then, afterward imo triple triads started going downhill with ff9 & now on here. I had hopes that it would allow us to be competitive with cards & let us win them in between players with cards pvp or even let us exchange them in between us but of course there is none of that...

Which realistic part? The

We're all from the same orphange and we just all forgot!

part? Or the

Lost in Spaaaaaaaaaaaace

part? Or maybe it was the

Laguna/Squall Rinoa/Rain/Ultimecia

brain hemorrhaging part?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think FF8 was trash. But it was the weakest mainline FF. Bear in mind, you also have FF15 to contend with now for realism.

Yes all theses parts, as a teenager, as technology moved forward with graphics & what not,the jump from ff7 graphical look (on gameplay not cutscenes necessarily) to ff8,the storyline felt much more adult with the graphic design & there was an actual empathy toward the characters for me at the very least, I felt like scenarios were similar to rl in that game at times ;P Also a witch, a spaceship & a sniper is kinda realistic versus some of the never ending coma/headaches moments we get with like,go get me a wine bottle WoL atm in ff14.Ffviii is one of the rare final fantasys where i have not succeeded beating the secret boss (Omega in this case) and that is because holy wars were gated behind triple triads & i lost the 99% completed game i had saved with a failure at discovering the third pupu ovni for the card & I also did not use the open disc tray cheat to stop Zell special attack combos… but my point is… There is even a lot people that have seen this movie >>>>



& most have no clue that the movie is based upon viii (unless im mistaken,,,) I thought movie wasnt too good when I've first seen it, but then ive seen FFVII advent children later on & way later i realized that the spirit within story was based onto ff8 & as ive grown up I finally thought it is not a bad movie at all, I actually like it more than advent children.

P.s: I refuse to touch ff15 for a long time.

It had nothing to do with the Final Fantasy franchise whatsoever except for its name. No relation to the games. Partly why some have considered it a bit of a failure. It was named "Final Fantasy" but it certainly didn't look or sound like one. At best it was sci fi action thriller.

I'd say it took more from FF VII... with a direct inspiration from the Lifestream to create "Gaia".
You also have the root of the problem being a crashed meteor, and a big cannon to shoot the crater impact, etc...
