Angela Aki's version has proper grammar if it really bothers you that much.
"Whenever I sang"
"If a frown is shown"
And a few other fixes.
This thread is a comedy goldmine.

The issue isn't that the "I" becomes unclear, it's that the rhythm isn't as effective.
The 4-line stanza repeats a two-line structure. By giving each line in that two-line structure a different rhythm, the stanza's structure is expressed in rhythm in addition to just the words.
If the rhythm in the two lines is identical except for an added "I" beat, then you have four lines of near-equal rhythm. The rhythm no longer splits the stanza into two parts as effectively, and the overall stanza becomes a little more stilted. It "works", but I don't think it works as well.
you clearly don't know how companies worked back then if you think that's bullshit

yea that's fair...
umm... explain?
companies were not forward-thinking at all when it came to backing up their work, and honestly who can blame them? shit like digital downloads were things people only *dreamed of* back then. as a result, a lot of companies never bothered keeping track of master copies of several games. Kingdom Hearts 1 and Panzer Dragoon were already mentioned, but the list is gigantic.

actually, I can see why they would do that. At the time I don't think anyone thought re-releases would be a profitable venture.
Yea, same thing happened with a lot of tape libraries. I can't really blame them tbh thinking in that time period, ignoring how things are now but it does suck...

I can see why. She seemed like a big deal in China and damn she's got a voice.

Guardian Forces. They were summons that you junctioned(attached) to your characters to summon them and do other skills. You should of gotten 4 relativity early in the game.
When you junction guardian forces memory loss occurs. It was used to explain plot points (such as all of the main characters being from the same orphanage but not remembering, etc. If i remember everything correctly.
They even talked about this in the game start of Disc 2 conversation between Laguna and Kiros at Winhill :/
Is that a purely plot thing or does use of GFs as a gameplay mechanic affect the cutscenes you see?

Look, I know how to pronounce frown, and shown, but put that in a written sentance and my brain explodes.
We do need a thread for "holy shit moments in games that actually may have been obvious".
Wait did you think the joke was that you didn't find enough GF in your play through?
Do you literally know anything about the plot of FF8?
Laguna is Squall's father and Julia was Rinoa's mother. Laguna and Julia weren't able to be together, but their children were.
She's one of the most famous celebrities in China. It's like they would have gotten Michael Jackson.
Nobody performing Final Fantasy songs after that were anywhere near as big. Hikaru Utada for Kingdom Hearts is the only one even slightly comparable.
it is common of games during that time to have that issue, in don't know what happened to FF8 specifically but we do know for a fact that it was because of this that FF9 took so long to get re-releases.
How this wasn't obvious to you the first time around is very puzzling to me lol. I was pretty obsessed with the OST when it came out, was the only thing I asked for xmas that year.
The game is on PC like FF7. I don't know why they couldn't just port that if they really wanted to.
Was going to post this myself =) It's another big plot point many people miss, but brings a beautiful layer of extra depth to the game's love stories, and drives home the point of all those Laguna scenes.
People bring up GF memory loss as though it's supposed to be the big twist in the orphanage scene when in actuality the twist is learning that Edea and Cid were recruiting the orphans (we see other children beside main 6 running around and the White SeeD were all orphans) into Garden which we later learn was to make sure they led Squall to Ultimecia.
Guardian Force are used only by Balamb Garden. Trabia and Galbadia forbid it because the side effects are known. It then becomes more obvious that Cid and Edea do not care about the side effects or enforced it so that they wouldn't remember their life as orphans.
I think the execution couls have been nuch better with GF but it was never the main point of the orphanage scene.
