Forums - Gaming - Final Fantasy VIII 10 Year Anniversary has come! Will S-E star milking it??

I am torn—I loved the gun blades, and didn’t mind how the level system worked for the weapons

However I hated the magic system

Pulling spells was a killer

And the card game ;)---I spent hours on that game alone





The Next FF game should have

The gunblades back from 8—the magic/summon system from 7—and the level up system from 10—then the combat system from 7 as well—then bring back the card game from 8 with new and old cards from all ff games and…..mmmm that’s a good game

I mean you wouldn’t even have to have a story for me just put me out to do something an I will have so much fun on the way I wont care, I mean I could be killing babies for a ninja Hitler and still wouldn’t care as long as I could play with those tools

Yes.

And hell yes. Btw, that card game made the game extremely unfair... ultimate weapons by disc one, etc etc etc =P

I hope not. I love FFVIII. It has the best battle system, imo, and I don't want SE to whore it out like some other game in the series. It should just stay the way it is.

*cough* FFVII *cough*

 


 

FF VII's seemed too...simple. FF VIII had a different feeling. Plus the angles in battle were way better and cooler. It definitely did have the best. I wish SE would reuse FF VIII's battle system, but take out the draw system and replace it with MP.

Simple? dunno about that. The Materia combinations you could pull were extremely powerful and exciting... I loved it.

I somewhat liked FF VIII's draw system, but I the only time I used any magic from my stock was during fighting Omega and Ultimecia (you know.. triple, meltdown, aura, here we go!)... it was a true pain to use in any other time. It's a mjaor flaw of FF VIII. Otherwise, the system was good.

Ah, and I agree on the angles.

 



@soriku--see my above post fr the perfect game



 

^yeah that one works as well--i just dont like teh hey lets run every where thing (yet i cant dodge attacks)

im my opinion teh best combat ever to come out of them was the one they used for Parasite Eve---hey i can run all over teh place and for teh most part i can dodge attacks (even from the boss) but i cant hit you unless i am in range


that was the best

lol, don't take my post as so hostile :P

But FF VIII is great...many (unfortunately) don't think so though :(

FF8 >>>>>>>>>>>>> FF7 btw.

 Hrmm. Thats a tough call to which one is better over-all. The difference isn't that great, but I would have to give it to FF7. At least 7 didn't punish you for the sin of using a magic spell in a fantasy game.

 

I see we have the same opinion about FFVIII. I absolutely hate how magic is completely useless in this game: it does horribly low damage, it weakens your characters with each use. Once you realize that, all you have to do is draw 100 of each spell and junction them correctly, then you never touch them again and the game becomes a walk in the park!



Signature goes here!

My God someone finally said it! I didn't even noticed that post!

I freakin luv using magic! I remember using every spell in FFVII to death. FFXII did the same with Summons, rendering them absolutely useless.

 



Quem disse que a boca é tua?

Qual é, Dadinho...?

Dadinho é o caralho! Meu nome agora é Zé Pequeno!

the best is knights of teh round---yeah you have to grind it forever but whe you do and have 2 or even three in a row....mmmm who every got that shite storm is gonna hurt

W-Summon -> Knights of the Round would take forever but it was quite effective.

That's good, but I want them to use FF VIII's conbat system instead of FF VII's.

Hell, Final Fantasy X-2 had the best battle system in my opinion. Gave you more control of the battle while still being turn based.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
