He’s not wrong

>weirdest
FFVIII has a very clear narrative though.

Rinoa seriously makes me dislike this game

No, it’s terrible.

The “magic” system is awful

Yes he is.
It only has the best music.

1. Most enemies scale poorly
2. If you actually level up you can refine magic more efficiently from higher tier loot
3. Junctioning is easy as shit

Offensive magic is pretty fucking worthless though, I won't defend that.

I don't get why they didn't just stick with job systems for the PS1 games.

is this pasta?

On almost every criteria, FF8 is garbage. Shit characters, an atrocious storyline, underwhelming and unchallenging gameplay, graphics that don't stand up under scrutiny since they aimed for photo realism in an era where they couldn't come close to graphically matching it. About the only things worthwhile are some of the musical tracks and the relative ease of the character advancement/combat system.

Also FF8 revolves around a 'love story' between Rinoa and Squall. Rinoa's an absolute retard that keeps getting herself Princess Peached into trouble thanks to her own stupidity and is Seifer's sloppy seconds. You're basically rooting for Squall to stick with a girl that has room temperature IQ and sluts around with his rival.

>and is Seifer's sloppy seconds
>this is actual unironic criticism of the game

guess how I figured out your opinion is worthless
