Final Fantasy 8 is a very divisive game that tried to revamp the formula, yet it was half-baked because of unsavory decisions by the developers, as it made the game potentially way too easy to break and way to tedious in certain instances.

Well, no more!

Available for both the 2013 PC Re-realease and the 2018 Steam Remaster Re-release, this mods improves upon the base game significantly, rectifying what was wrong with the gameplay and progression structure of the original.

I heavily recommend to read the changelog.

A 1.3 version is also in development as of now.

Just a reminder that grinding is tedious and is an optional part of every Final Fantasy game, often times making the games extremely simple. The only difference is how you grind.

Having said that, there are a few improvements I could think of. I'm curious what all this does and whether it takes out all the good from the original.

Changelog is there :)

Link to the mod or something?

I rectified the link into the post (somehow I linked a picture lol)

No way to play this kind of thing on android I guess? Or similar mods?

[–] Yots92@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pc only, sorry.

Hi.

I hate everything about this. Enjoy how you like I guess.

Doesn't change Squall being the worst main character in FF history next to Tidus, unfortunately.

[–] swayevenly@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Besides that laugh scene, Tidus wasn't bad. He was one of the few FF main characters with a personality besides Zidane and the main characters from FF6.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He was also quite clueless to the point of endangering himself and others, but yeah, he's probably not as bad as squall in retrospect.

Vaan from XII is way worse then both.

He isn't even a main character per se

Almost every character in ff8 was either bland or annoying, it was actually really inpressive

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

IKR, there was no saving anyone, except the dog I guess.
