Man, I always feel sorry for you guys and your ugly box art.
But then I remember that we got 50hz and I'm like "Nah, fuck em, they get the better games, they can have their ugly boxes"

Ugly? it's beautiful to me. :(Man, I always feel sorry for you guys and your ugly box art.

Its an American thing. For some reason having characters on the box art was absolutely necessary over there.

Whereas over here, we got artwork.
I still don't get how we can have a port of FFVII, FFIX, X and XII on Switch, but somehow FFVIII gets skipped. Come on Square!
Nope. Absolutely not.
Not just switch, there's no viii port for any of the platforms. :(
So... what's up with Ellone's powers? They're not sorcery since she's not a sorceress, they're not para-magic since she doesn't need to be junctioned with a GF, they're not a limit break since she doesn't have to be in critical situations or be using Aura...
That'd be an interesting story to tell. Like, the only things that can do something similar to Ellone are Guardian Forces. Ellone connects one mind to another, trained people Junction themselves with Guardians, and the Junction Machine mimics her power.
Maybe she's related to Guardian Forces? There's a story there.
I really don't understand why they'd do ports of 7 and 9 but not 8? Unless they're saving 8 for this year as a 20th anniversary thing. But even so that wouldn't make sense.
That didn't stop FF9 or KH1. They're capable of doing it.Here's an article with a pretty good explanation for why there's no FF8 ports.
TLDR: No FF8 source code = no port.
i assume ff9 was archived in a much better way than 7 and 8. 7's original pc release was reverse engineered from the final game, i believe 8 was the same as it was notoriously bad. 8's steam version was apparently cobbled together using fan made patches, including mention of the authors still included in various files. i think it's just too much work for them to try and reverse engineer the current mess the game is in for a proper port. they could wrap the ps1 version in an emulator perhaps but not sure square have the right people internally to do that or whether they see that as worth their time.Presumably they didn't lose the source code for 9. The game was developed in the US so maybe they knew better than to delete the code after releasing the game. Also, 9 doesn't have the Faye Wong problem.
Junction system is crappy but...that's it? Don't get me wrong it's an important part of the game but it's still a legit classic and really moved the series forwards.
My absolute favorite FF game.
It's a real shame we'll likely never see a port of it.
Meant to say console port.
You just gotta make sure you download the Rose and Wine mod to our tbe original music back into the game. The PC soundtrack is so so bad.
Concept art for Balamb Garden in Final Fantasy VIII (1999)
Represents the recurring theme of ecofuturism in Y2K along with a sleek, organic, and blobby-like exterior.
Rare music featured in the Final Fantasy VIII demo movie. Likely composed by Nobuo Uematsu, it features an intense vibe and really sold a lot of people coupled with the new generation of CG characters that were the first natural/normal proportioned features. This music was extracted from the original trailer available for viewing elsewhere on youtube. This song was never expanded on (that I know of) or released on an album.
pal box arts are so much better, the only american one i kinda accepts, only because its iconic is ff7 with cloud in front of the reactor, but otherwise pal>ntscIts an American thing. For some reason having characters on the box art was absolutely necessary over there.

That's the second half of "Visions of Dollet"
That channel has all the unused tracks:
Wish they'd get released (apart from "Raid on Dollet", which I assume they legally can not), I'd buy that cd. :/
At least there was Leon as a superior Squall redesignI was such an FFVIII fan that Selphie being in Kingdom Hearts was part of the hype for me before it came out! That....was disappointing, haha.
