Managed to finish FF7 and FF9 for the first time in the past week

Is it worth trying to finish FF8? I've never made it past disc 1

I played it recently trying the remastered version. IDK about you but I cannot stand Junction. I also can’t stand how there’s no personality or passion in anything. It’s just weird techno bullshit with no soul put in.
But at the core of it is Junction. If you like Junctioning magic then it will keep you going. I just can’t do it.

I don't think anyone likes junction

Fun fact the only FF8 fan I’ve found was a mentally challenged person in school

8 is way better than the borefest that is 9.

justify

yes

8 is much more iconic and charismatic but it's mostly for the great character designs. They really dropped the ball on the art with 9.

i'm playing 9 for the first time right now and you're insane

>charismatic
a game is not charismatic

Swap 8 with 9 and you'd be more accurate.

shit opinion

No, it's shit.

I played it last year on the PS1, and thought it was O.K. Disc 1 is unfortunately the strongest part of the game. The rest of it varies in quality, although the Laguna section and Ultimecia's castle are very good. Gameplay is mostly solid once you get a hold of the junction system, but the characters and plot are a mess. The soundtrack is easily the best part of the game.

shit but right
9 sold like shit for a reason

no. try tactics and 6 instead

9 is highest rated on meta too

But ff8 is the best one?

That score is compiled from reviews written 20 years ago. 9 is pretty good, but the slow combat drags the experience down. Other than that, the music, characters, and world are top-tier.

Maybe, but the level up/junction system kills my enjoyment

I liked ff8

>draw mechanic
>level scaling
>retarded story
>best part is a card minigame
nah

the thing with Junction is that it's straight up a more controllable and manual successor to FF2's stat raising system. the problem is Junction is either unbearably awkward to use, or you figure out / read a guide and Card Mod everything or simply power level your stats into godhood before the game even really kicks off

Very retarded post.

Most people will recognise Vivi long before they recognise Selphie or Irvine etc.

>That score is compiled from reviews written 20 years ago
so are most of the other ones IX is usually compared to..

Because 8 came out on the back of huge expectations from what 7 achieved whereas 9 came out on the back of the disappointment of 8 plus 9 was a PS1 title released when the PS2 was beginning.

I just finished 7 and am about to start 8, what am I in for?

9 was a late PS1 game, also animetards probably wanted another Midgar story and came out after 8 shat the bed.

decline

>sales = quality
:^)

A legitimately worse video game experience. It's all right at best, but it's easily the worst of the PS1 Final Fantasy games.

I love IX, but trance can go fuck itself.
