Final Fantasy VIII is getting a remastered for those who are not in the loop with FF News.
Final Fantasy VIII is a game that I have quite a-lot of memories with. It was the 2nd Final Fantasy game I've ever played that introduced me into 3D RPGs. I'm happy that it's getting a Remastered with better models and graphics and doesn't go all extreme looks like the FFVII Remake. There are a couple of things that I am quite upset about though:
• Squall looks different than his CGI Render Model - Square now "updated" all the 3D models in this Remastered but they decided to go with the look from his polygon model instead of going with the look from his CGI Render. I don't get that decision tbh =/
• Chocobo World gets removed - For those who don't know, FFVIII could get data from your Chocobo World save to give you special items! Chocobo World was originally a game for the PocketStation But with the release of FFVIII to the PC, Chocobo World was added as a bonus "Mini-game". With Chocobo World you could get different rare items and special items that allowed you and your GFs to Summon special characters like: Moomba and Moogle! not only would you get special items but it was one of the ways for you to Level up a weird GF called "Boko". Boko is a Chicobo ( young chocobo ) who you could summon as a "GF" to do different attacks. His way of Leveling up was by you playing Chocobo World. What I told you right now kind of seems pretty cool but sadly Chocobo World won't be added to the Remastered making the extra added Gameplay missing. However The Special Items are said to be added to the Remastered as Items you can find with "Angelo", Rinoa's Dog that can learn different tricks and be used as a Limit Break.
• I was expecting them to at least remake the CGI Scenes but they decided to leave them be.. They look good but we are in an age where graphically it looks horrible. new comers who like "Sweet Realistic Graphics" would have a bit of trouble. Of course not everyone will have trouble looking at the CGI Scenes, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that people will have a trouble looking at the CGI Scenes at FFVIII, I mean Look at FFVII's CGI Scenes.. They look like Lego lmao. Truly Square could have at least updated the graphics in some way or another, it makes the game look weird. Having updated models and backgrounds and then get cut to a CGI scene with old graphics. I'm not the only one who thinks this is a bit weird right?
I hope the Remastered gets new players a chance to play this "Timeless" Masterpiece. Truly I am looking to buy it at release since the pre-order content seems cheap. I'm not a mad fan of FFVIII but It's my 4th favorite game in the Main-line series. In the end I will get it and will play through every single feature and content that the game has to offer with 4 of my friends!
I know this Forum is quite dead but I would like some feedback, Do you like Final Fantasy VIII? if so are you excited for the Remastered like I am? Feedback would be enjoyable!
