FINAL FANTASY VIII SQUARESOFT
It’s interesting to be able to break the rules with item refinement when doing it again now.
It’s fun to be able to skip grades in the official system, right?
When I redid it on the VITA archive as an adult, Squall felt so naïve compared to my memories that it seemed like I had passed through puberty.
I somehow understood my feelings of being drawn to Rinoa because of this personality.
SEED is kind of like a half civil servant.
>>4
The garden itself is like a country, after all.
I’ve recently started to understand why I dislike being put in the past tense.
Squall was doing well even though he was young…
>>5
As I’ve gotten older and started losing people close to me, I’m finally beginning to feel the impact of this.
You all ignored me in life and criticized me, but as soon as I’m dead, what the hell is this?
>>30
Actually, it’s too funny how Squall reacts with a “huh?” when Rinoa, who gives off the vibe that she’s close with Cypher, suddenly makes a zero-understanding comment about him.
Annoying guy!
Kisthis is not the one with too many problems, but rather, don’t consult the students!
I think so, but KissTis is also young…
The way that Squall falls in love with Rinoa now is…
I thought it would be difficult to understand if the player doesn’t choose straightforward options.
If you keep making contrary choices like Squall, you won’t understand his true feelings at all.
Although they dislike it, it seems tough because they have a personality suited for being a leader.
>>9
I have a tendency not to want to rely on others.
A guy who is easy for others to rely on.
Aside from being introverted, their specs are high in every area.
The fact that Squall easily accepted becoming the leader of the Garden means that…
I guess they were usually relied on normally.
>>11
He’s the kind of guy who will show the transfer student around and all that.
It feels like the charisma that makes people rely on me in strange situations is inherited from my father.
Well, actually, it’s never explicitly stated in the story that they are parent and child.
>>13
I had no idea at all until I started using the internet because I wasn’t doing any analysis or anything at that time.
During the hallway progression in the garden conflict.
I don’t know where I should be assigned… It’s amazing how you’re checking the abilities of the students who are confused and giving them immediate instructions, that’s true leadership.
Rinoa likes everyone, but she really likes Squall.
So I was telling you at the concert that I want to be able to help you.
Whether or not you properly watch the event really changes the impression of both Squall and Rinoa…
(?! Is Witch Idea the principal’s wife?)
What state of mind leads someone to order the killing of such a person…?
Someone who can properly sense people’s feelings.
The second week is the most fun in FF.
Was Elone already appearing this early?!
Card Game Haruna
It seems you know the rules of a different area.
Shall I mix it with the rules of the doll?
“Random Hand” has spread to this area.
I think FF is interesting with its restrictions similar to 5.
At that time, I was disappointed that the story felt too small after 7.
Looking back years later, I realized that this, on its own, was a good thing.
People who use GF are fools.
>>24
Well, a research result from Dr. Baka-dono suggests that junctions can lead to memory impairment and make one quite foolish…
I could play card games at 9, but I feel like this was more fun.
It’s great to fly around the world and collect cards, isn’t it?
Squid game
A person whose mind is noisy.
>>27
It may be loud because it comes out of the speech bubble, but that’s just how 16 or 17-year-olds think.
Because Squall is a half-hearted genius, the people around him rely on him and it becomes noisy, making it an even more difficult environment for a troubled young person.
I’m getting really unreasonable demands from Sid.
You handle that unreasonable request and grow as a person even more.
This is… the legendary SeeD…
I wonder if I will become like Leon when I grow up.
I think it’s amazing how seeing Irvin in the second round after the Ideia assassination completely changes the impression.
>>34
It seems you’re scared.
The part where they scream “I can’t shoot!!” is completely genuine, and that’s great, isn’t it?
Is it really such a cliché development to encounter a selfie?!
He’s really serious, a model student, takes care of what he’s asked to do, and somehow has good social skills.
The only downside is that even in the story, they’re swinging around a weird weapon like a gunblade.
Squall is incredibly cool; he just wasn’t the type of cool that boys at that time expected from a protagonist.
Everyone in the garden is young, even Miss Kistis is in her teens, and the fate we are burdened with is too harsh.
I like the chaotic feeling of a school setting.
The sparse world in the latter half is tough due to resource issues.
Irvin may seem frivolous, but he’s also someone who gets right to the essence of things boldly.
To the troublesome old man who treats Squall like a battle punk and insults him.
What kind of guy are you? or something like that.
People say various things, but I believe Squall and Rinoa suit each other in the end.
No, it’s not about face capping or anything like that; a good-natured silly girl like that is a better stimulus for the thread image.
A rather wicked world where students around the age of high school are assigned girlfriends for combat training and given authority, functioning like a military.
>>45
If anything, they’re even gathering orphans to train them as child soldiers.
Still, it’s a good thing that the upperclassmen have the moral obligation to protect the underclassmen!
>>45
We are on the brink of whether the world will end, you know?
Well, considering the white SeeD ship, the distortion up to that point is probably solely due to NORG.
But if that guy doesn’t come up with the money, we can’t make the garden, so either way, we’re stuck…
Rinoa anticipates Squall’s actions and reads his inner thoughts.
It’s too fitting for the taciturn Squall, who conveys his feelings through unspoken communication.
I can’t help but think that, in addition to Rinoa’s heightened sensitivity, there may also be the influence of a witch’s power mixed in.
>>46
I honestly think there are aspects of Squall that are too obvious when observed from the outside.
It’s just that nobody has the leisure to face Squall properly, so it hasn’t been noticed.
What is that collar?
If memory disorders are caused by GF, wouldn’t it be less risky to conscript elderly people rather than child soldiers…?
>>49
In the first place, SeeD is an organization established solely to find young warriors with gunblades and train them to kill witches.
Looking back on it again, I’m just barely managing to get by!
Yet, I am relied upon by those around me.
Squall is really amazing!
>>55
(Usual pose covering the face)
>>54
This is a reliable leader…
It’s a story about the same student or student soldier, but it feels a bit milder than the Zero Model.
It might be frightening because I’m erasing the same soul’s memories and starting over six hundred million times from a meta perspective.
I love all the events and movies of the Galbadia Garden invasion.
SeeD
SeeD of Balamb Garden
The garden grows SeeD.
The idea created by Mama-sensei.
I have to achieve all of this, so the hurdle is high!
It’s not right to make a 17-year-old say, “I’m doing my best just to take care of myself!”
I think Sid is a bit questionable even now.
>>60
After all, he’s just the director of an ordinary orphanage, Sid.
Just an old man whose only redeeming quality is being really kind.
Though I have been preparing for that for a long time, when it comes to actually killing my own wife…
Well, it may not be something to be praised, but I can’t help wanting to run away…
Don’t say things like my fate is all decided!
I’m sorry, but it seems you haven’t provided the Japanese text that you would like me to translate. Could you please provide the text?
Everything was already decided.
It’s terrible.
I wonder if the tears of the moon can continue to be an astonishing natural phenomenon.
>>63
If only Lunatic Pandora wouldn’t be pulled up from the sea, damn it!
Who the heck is the one who pulled that up?!
When I played it as a child, I thought Squall was so cool, but after playing it again as an adult, I ended up thinking that Squall’s teenage angst was really cute!
If I received a magic lamp, of course I would check it right there on the spot, Sid!
The witch system is crap.
>>68
First, the origin is…
When I woke up from sleeping, there were way too many humans and it was scary! I have to destroy them… but as a result, the creator ends up getting beaten up instead, which is no good in various ways…
It was shocking to see Sid lash out at Norg.
Just because we’re adults, it doesn’t mean we can endure everything.
I have finally understood it at my current age.
Then go talk to the wall.
Let’s go around the first forest and beat up some dinosaurs.
Since Disk 1, it’s been nothing but “Seriously, stop messing with me” for Squall… it’s overwhelming and I don’t know what to do.
That’s why the escape scene carrying Rinoa is really a great moment.
The militaristic Galbadia also uses the shocking GF.
A thick day of defeating Ifrit, getting sent into battle, almost getting killed by a scorpion robot, and being called out by Quistis to hear complaints.
>>75
First, we have to do OP training!
>>75
Ifreet is the result of a certain lazy student who kept putting off their assignments.
It’s because some useless student acted on their own and left their post that I was chased by the scorpion robot.
Moreover, the supervising teacher will be fired from their teaching position due to that responsibility.
If you think you won’t be complained about this, your nerves are too thick…
>>75
I know it’s for the sake of the production, but no matter how many times I see this, it just doesn’t make sense!
I mean, Kadowaki-sensei, you should stop too!
It’s tough for students to hold on because adults are somewhat unreliable.
A mere 17-year-old kid has become capable of directly smashing giant mechanical weapons, so the benefits of GF are truly immeasurable.
If we raise a brat to be a mercenary, junction them with a GF, and send them out to various battlefields, we can make a huge profit, right!?
>>78
Norg! (Bashi)
>>82
I always think that the principal, Sid, doesn’t have the right to say this every time that rebellion scene comes up.
>>78
Fear can be dulled by junctioning with GF! Along the way, we also erase memories and complete the ideal soldier!
I guess it was probably like this with the master and the army, not the principal.
I find Arvain’s line that denies the infinite possibilities of life strangely memorable.
He’s handsome, but his smile is somewhat creepy.
I wished they would have done something about not having a rescue for missing the GF later on in the remaster.
>>81
Should we make it so that we can be rolled up by the CC group…?
>>81
I even missed Shiva on my first attempt.
If you were just being carefree and suddenly a missile hit, it would be so sad for the Trabia Garden to be completely destroyed…
I’m tired of unifying the world… I’ll sit and gaze at the scenery…
The mountain is in the way! 111!!!!!!!!!!
Human Linin-san! Please cut down the mountain! 11!!
I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep now… zzz…
…When I woke up there were too many human reruns! I’m going to reduce the number of children!
They were being really rebellious, but please stop because I’ll give you magical power!
I’m sorry for raising my voice.
You will forgive me, right?
Good High!
Kistis, who was dismissed from her position as a teacher because of Squall’s bad behavior, mutters, “Am I unfit to be a teacher…?” and it gives off a vibe like a parent wondering if they raised their child wrong, which is a complete misunderstanding.
It’s understandable since I’m 19.
>>90
I might have forgotten, but that person was like a big sister to me at the orphanage… so just a little, okay?
Teacher, I hate being told to do my best. Please tell that to the students who aren’t doing well.
>>92
Good luck, Cipher!
Cypher has said to you, “How many times are you going to take the exam?”
>>94
It’s frustrating that, even though you’re the oldest and entrusted with the leadership, you still try to leave your post first…
Speaking of 8, it’s Belhelmelhel.
Q. What is this GF summon attack of this thing called Eden?
A. The development staff also doesn’t understand well.
>>96
You’re talking like Anaheim…
I wonder where in the world the mountain that humans carved for Hain is located.
The place where the tears of the moon have fallen has become a crater, so it’s easy to understand.
Ah… don’t push yourself too hard…
Woohoooooo!
I will show you the spirit of Galbadia!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>99
Launching a bike attack from a high place with a catapult is way too intense…
>>105
Landing my bike on that smooth garden is too scary…
Thank you.
Knowledgeable Zel
I was startled by the sudden return of Cypher’s sword slicing technique.
I really love the worldview, or rather the map and the streets.
Cypher had some good moments in the early stages, but it’s sad that there were no good parts later on.
When I become a SeeD, my life of chasing dreams will end, so I’m purposely doing reckless things to postpone my acceptance.
Cypher is starting to feel anxious, wondering how many more years he can still work as a mercenary even now that he has become a SeeD.
✋Three✊ ✌️
I like Zel, who feels like a nice child raised with love from their parents.
Make out with the library committee member properly.
There are many opinions, but it’s a bad thing that, because they are active models, they don’t look their age at all.
>>111
Because they’re about the same height, they look older than the members of FF7.
In reality, the average age is higher for FF7.
>>113
In the midst of all that, Sid at 7 looks much older than his actual age.
>>119
In reverse, it settled down to be about age-appropriate or a little above.
It’s really good.
When I do the second round, it makes me think that the Arvaine Witch Sniping really put in the effort…
>>112
It’s seriously amazing that they managed to avoid the fence and get a headshot without a shield…
Shoot (trouble) or we’ll handle it (trouble).
Who was the idiot that released a Tyrannosaurus at the training camp?
Since you can’t become an official SEED in Garden, if you don’t charge in on your bike and launch a surprise attack, you’ll be trampled if the proper SEED from Balamb, who has done a GF Junction, comes in.
Ravaged.
You cannot place the burden of guilt on Squall who remembers nothing.
That’s why I’m…! It’s cool that you’ve made up your mind, Arvain…
>>120
Irvin is really amazing.
Everyone is quite mental about it! It’s a case, isn’t it?
>>121
Even the final boss Ultimicia seems to have gone crazy and influenced by the power of Hyne because she couldn’t find her ideal boyfriend and ended up getting sick.
Melton understood that something unusually strange was happening even when he was just a kid.
Arvine, who is not remembered by Squall regardless of GF side effects…
>>124
The theory that Squall only remembers Mom and Eirone.
Is it Sid 37 of 7?
Huh…? Are they younger than me now…?
Squall is the type who wants to rely on others rather than be relied upon, but when given a task, he just gets it done, which makes him seem dependable to those around him.
During my time at the orphanage, Scone was always clinging to Sister El, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
I have the impression that there aren’t many characters in their 20s to 30s in 8, but did they die in a war or something?
>>129
Yes.
The reason there are many orphans is due to war.
The frequent wars are due to Galbadia.
>>132
As for the war, it’s Estha who started the global conflict by hunting girls in the first place…
>>129
Thinking about it that way, Laguna really is lucky.
>>129
I don’t think there are any particular settings, but it’s not impossible that he died in the war between Esthar led by Adel and Galbadia…
I like the atmosphere and the main character the most.
Since becoming a parent, learning more about the background, it’s not just the Squall but also Laguna who is too much to bear.
>>133
If you live indecisively, it’s only natural that you can’t protect your precious rain and end up losing the downpour as well.
>>139
It’s not Laguna’s responsibility!
>>133
If I couldn’t even meet my son, then it was 19 years later that I was able to come for my wife’s first visit to the grave…
I cry every time during the scene where the ring is given in “Eyes on Me.”
>>133
My romance with Julia is just a bittersweet memory from my youth.
While searching for Elone, it’s terrible that during the time I was president of Esta, Rain died and Squall ended up going to an orphanage.
>>156
I was forced to take on the responsibility of sealing the witch by being made president.
…to the point where I can’t even go search for my own son.
The interval between the falling tears of the moon is too short…
Also, monsters come down once every 17 years.
>>140
What are the Moon’s tears and that Guidable Lunatic Pandora?
>>140
The cycle of the moon’s tears is short, which is surprising, isn’t it?
Usually, things like that have a longer span, don’t they…
>>172
Well, it’s longer than Shin’s revival, so I’ll forgive it…
So, why is Galbadia at war?
It is to expand our power in preparation for the threat from Esta.
In other words, it’s Laguna who is to blame for establishing a closed country system in Esta.
So the reason for the isolation is because Adele was sealed away.
If it becomes known that the threat of witches has disappeared in foreign countries, they would quickly invade.
…After all, it turns out that Laguna sealing Adele is the cause.
🌕
💧
Because I heard that Eruone was kidnapped by Esta, so I have to go help her!
It’s painful to think that when the results come back, my son will be missing…
The Holy Doll Empire, a country that continues to be treated like a snack by Galbadia, how pitiable…
I like Cypher, both for better and worse, as a brat.
It’s cute to dream of being a witch knight.
I have a supportive best friend, so I’ll manage somehow.
If it were to be remade and we could see a moon movie with the latest graphics, it would definitely be surprisingly creepy.
>>147
It’s already plenty creepy at this point…
I have a tendency to rate it high because I really love the atmosphere of the garden and FH.
Even though I love freedom the most when I play as an adult.
I feel that Laguna has the least freedom.
If Adele had found the witch’s knight, this wouldn’t have happened…
(I liked him… he wasn’t a bad person… he was my comrade…)
Cypher… you have completely become a person from my memories.
Will I also be talked about like this when I die?
The downpour was like this, or like that.
In the past tense… Am I going to be told whatever they want?
I see. So dying is like that…
(I don’t want to)
(I don’t want to!!)
“I don’t want to!”
“I don’t want to be put in the past tense!”
>>152
(Friends who are left wondering after only hearing the conclusion)
I’ve almost bought all the FF games and almost finished KH, so I have my thoughts about Nomura, but it’s really impressive how he can capture the very youthful feelings of puberty through the growth of Riku, the characters in 358/2 Days, and Squall.
>>154
In that case, it’s about time to recognize Kazunari Nojima…
There are probably parts where they tease or joke around with the mob, just not showing it too much to the players.
The movie was amazing when I think back on it now.
Using the witch’s power endlessly to rule a country.
It can bring the whole world down in fear.
The spirituality of Idea, who lived peacefully with her husband while building an orphanage, is amazing.
>>159
Well, I guess there’s really nothing in particular that you want to achieve by ruling the world.
In reality, the final bosses in RPGs are usually quite vague about that.
>>165
It’s unclear whether the girl hunting is Adele’s will or Ultimecia’s will.
If it were truly Adele’s own will, then she actually wants to die.
A witch doesn’t die unless she passes on her powers to someone else.
I’m watching various streams where Arvin can’t shoot the witch and the streamer curses at him, as well as the scene where he learns the truth and apologizes to Arvin.
You take after your mother.
I bought the CD of “Eyes on Me,” how nostalgic.
At least if Esta weren’t closed off from the world.
If I go and send the Elone I finally found back to Rain…
With Rain gone, Elone has become isolated and disconnected again, the cause and effect is too strong.
If the Sid couple hadn’t found Elone, it would have been really dangerous in many ways.
In Dissidia, I became a character that gets swung around.
>>170
In the social game, Ultimecia somehow joins the team, and the FF8 cast is like, “??????”
Of course, it was a strange situation that Ultimecia was secretly excited about characters from other works…
Rain Loire
>>171
So that’s the way it is, you really registered your marriage… in the end.
Is Leonhart a maiden name?
They say this guy’s head is noisy, but Squall is pretty bad too.
Is there a connection between Odain’s research on Elone and Adele’s girl-hunting?
>>174
Odin is working under Adele.
The encounter with Elone, who was caught in Adele’s girl hunt by chance, became the catalyst for the development of JME.
There is a significant relationship.
>>180
In that case, it’s possible that Adele, junctioned with Ultimecia, engaged in girl hunting as a means to search for Elone.
It’s a matter of whether the egg came first or the chicken.
This is a timely thread for me since I saw the sale.
Shall I buy it?
>>176
I just bought it around the New Year holidays and also happened to pick up a used Ultimania, but I recommend Ultimania!
It’s a blunt weapon, so it’s difficult to find a place for it.
It feels like I’ve been immersed in war all this time.
It’s probably also because monsters regularly fall and threaten the country.
They’re such extreme child soldiers that it’s no wonder other countries are taken aback.
What Sid is doing with the 8 is indeed wicked, but it’s also true that he is feeding orphans, so it’s complicated.
>>182
The one running the mercenary recruitment business is Master Norg rather than Sid.
Since Sid is an investor in the garden, he cannot stand up for himself.
Sid 8 is just a laid-back, easy-going old man.
My wife suddenly became a witch, and I had to become the foundation for creating the legendary SeeD.
It’s truly a pitiful person… If they make a mistake, the world itself ends.
It’s hard to believe that Elione’s abilities are so unique that they have nothing to do with witches.
When considering the ability to junction others to others
I think it’s probably an ability close to that of a GF.
That’s the worst… The legendary SeeD who wields the gunblade…
What on earth are you…?
>>188
I brainwashed Cypher and made him my knight.
This is safe now, alright!
