The backdrops looked like shit on PC man, the resolution was too low, we were already rocking HD res at the end of the 90's and the game didn't hold up lol. 7 had the same problem. Think about it though, you can literally run through FF8 in hella easy mode if you keep your characters under 15, how is that not a fucked up game? The story also almost made no sense, 9 was just a much better game where everything made sense and the ending was actually awesome if you keep the hammer! |
I agree that 8 didn't make sense, and it's a fair argument but at least while you were playing it trying to piece it together it was really fun.
And I realize that 8 has its cracks as to working around its difficulty system, but for most gamers who just played FF games without trying to "cheat" so to speak, this didn't actually affect us. I was probs lvl 60~smt when I beat it. Of course I had fun with aura and whatnot. ;) (can't remember all of it, I think I had auto-haste actually).
About FF8 on PC, that was the version I played (by Eidos). Remember, not all of us had uber PCs back then. For me it was excellent, and I gamed on PC too. For example Riven was a competition to 8's visuals for me. But I wasn't big on 3D PC games (always preferred playing those with a controller). I only played FF8 on PC because I didn't own a PS and refused back then to play a FF game on a PS (baaack then).
