hi guys. tomato here. been lurking this forum and it seems pretty good besides one guy who says the n-word too much. anyways i didn't know who else to turn to. do you think it's worth paying six dollars to buy the eighth final fantasy game? i played the sixth final fantasy and the tenth final fantasy in like eighth grade and i thought they were very good, and, tbh, moving. i also played the seventh one and thought it was pretty good, but probably not as good as the other two? just one goons opinion. those are all of the final fantasies that I played. anyway I remember that back in the day opinions were very divided about final fantasy eight. some people thought that it was really good, but some people thought it was really bad. maybe you guys can share your opinions and help influence my purchasing decision? thanks and sorry for the long op

final fantasy six. the world is a world of technology. magic is gone. a magical fossil is found, which turns into a person (??). now, you are that person (??). you meet a thief, and a boxer, and a king; possibly, another king wants to kill that king, and he poisons the water. the civil war is mooted when Kefka destroys the world. you reunite the gang and defeat kefka. there is an opera; there is a ghost train; their is a tiny child named relm. there is a white water rafting trip. how do they fit together? I do not know.

final fantasy ten. the world is a world of technology, except that then you go back in time, to a world which is a world of magic. I actually remember this one pretty good. you meet a lady whose quest it is to kill an evil monster, who comes back every couple years to kill everyone, which is why there is no technology (but then why is there people??). anyway the monster is your dad, because the monster is the person who tried to kill it last time. the bad guy slaughters the village of wookies and then you find out that actually you didn't come from the future, but a dream. your gf defeats your dad but you die too. there's a sick makeout scene and a cool part where you fall in a gorge

I don;t have anything more than fever dream memories of final fantasy seven, but you're a super badass chemically engineer soldier, who meets some terrorists, and then leaves the city..... there's a beach town. later you find out you're not a cool soldier at all but actually a little punk soldier. sephiroth IS a cool soldier though? i remember a thing with piano music playing where I was supposed to learn the terrible truth, but I was twelve and didn't get it. the cat is a really good and the cat's town is great. there's a haunted house which is weird and you beat the game in a crater. in the last fight the graphics are REALLY good and I didn't get why the graphics weren't that good for the whole game

i clearly addressed the twist wherein it turns out your homeland, the future city Zanarkand, was actually all a dream.

thanks for your advice everyone. i wound up buying sim city 4 and the first episode of "life is trange" instead of final fantasy viii, for approximately the same price. I think this choice is likely to bring me greater gaming satisfaction in the long run. thread closed

apropos to nothing posted:thanks for reopening the thread so you can ignore our advise abouit getting ffviii for a second time Sorry. I guess I stopped listening after In Training gave it a "pass." He seemed like he gave the most measured and thoughtful opinion of all the posters in this thread, and frankly, n-word aside, I found his case convincing. Anyway, I didn't buy Final Fantasy VIII when it was six dollars. Now, at twelve dollars? No way. No thank you. Maybe... Maybe in the Steam winter sale.
