FF8's plot is bananas
Rama
Delicious bananas, but yes.

Square's writing went Some Fucking Places in the late 90's

I'm half watching the gdq run and it's bringing back a lot of memories
tsuchinoko real
Namely how I never figured out the junction stuff and got all the way to Adel before hitting a wall and having to completely restart
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
Junctioning is very broken if you know what you're doing.
tsuchinoko real
I beat it entirely out of spite
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
But yes, the plot is very bananas.
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
But so much that's needed to make it make sense is optional......
tsuchinoko real
I DID NOT have a clue what I was doing the first time around and a tenuous grip on it the second time
tsuchinoko real
Tbh if you don't completely check out after "we were all childhood friends in the same orphanage but uhhhhhhhhhhhh the GFs made us forget" that's impressive
DʀᴀɢɴHᴏᴍᴇᴏᴘᴀᴛʜʏ
I... Don't...........

I may or may not have played the game as broken as possible
tsuchinoko real
The saddest part is that I had the players guide and I still derped out with junctioning
tsuchinoko real
Despite everything though imo FF8 has a seriously cool endgame

I actually really enjoyed it. It was also my first FF game...so I didn't have any of the others to base it on.
tsuchinoko real
I fully admit to being biased because I nearly got to the end and had to start all the way over because I couldn't figure out the system
tsuchinoko real
Like oh my god I beat my head against Adel for so long before admitting defeat
corpse bride
the Junction system was not my favorite, but i appreciate the foray into more sci-fi/cyberpunk territory in the setting
corpse bride
i still prefer the more traditional medieval fantasy/streampunk settings, but i was craving something Different in my high school years, and SquareEnix delivered
corpse bride
the whole plot point with the Lunar Cry and monsters literally invading from the moon like an updated Demon Night Parade was fucking wild, and I loved it
raspberrydrink
I was a bit older so figuring out want as rough for me
raspberrydrink
but man it is not intuitive
raspberrydrink
^wasn't as rough
Ziri✖O
It was my first ff game, too! 
tsuchinoko real
but you know what
tsuchinoko real
even with all my gripes with FF8
tsuchinoko real
at least
tsuchinoko real
it's not chrono cross
bread singalong
this entire plurk
bread singalong
I could have written it
raspberrydrink
I am 36 gd years old and I still couldn't tell you how to play crono cross
tsuchinoko real
chrono cross is the definitive jrpg crazytown
Ziri✖O
oh gosh I had to restart chrono cross five different times and I still don't know what's happening
tsuchinoko real
i don't think the developers even knew what was going on
