All they need to do is to have Squall and his friends interact with their fellow students a whole lot more, beyond Triple Triad. Granted, Final Fantasy VIII’s high school segments aren’t as heavy as Persona, but that could all change with a remake. If Square Enix were to market Final Fantasy VIII Remake this way, they could be getting a lot of fan conversions. The only difference between the two is that Final Fantasy VIII takes place in a fantasy world while Persona games take place in real-life Tokyo with parallel dimensions. Final Fantasy VIII practically has that very same premise. Final Fantasy VIII already has some action segments, so this conversion shouldn’t be too drastic.Ĭheck it out: Persona is a series of games that center around high school students saving the world using special monsters that affect their psyche. Which is why overhauling this system as well as integrating an action-RPG battle system like FFVII Remake could make it much more fun and engaging for players. And since players were expected to have a huge stock of magic spells that could only be farmed from enemies, it made the game such a grind to play. It presented itself as being a very complex system, but it was very easy to exploit once you come to grips with the mechanics. Due to how character stats are tied to the player's stock of magic spells, it was very easy to break the system and breeze through the game. A complete visual overhaul of the world of Final Fantasy VIII would be a sight to behold, especially with the recreation of the game’s iconic FMVs.Ī big point of contention and one aspect that draws ire from fans today is the controversial Junction system. It nails the fantasy meets reality aesthetic that Final Fantasy XV would later market itself as, albeit with mixed results. With lead character Squall and his friends looking like real-life actors, the environment and set pieces also needed to be top-notch, which is how Squaresoft came up with one of the most distinct looking Final Fantasy games.
The eighth game in the franchise broke tradition by having the realistically proportioned characters, instead of the chibi art style that the series was known for at the time. So here’s five reasons why we think Final Fantasy VIII Remake would be a good idea. That said, Final Fantasy VIII is still a beloved part of the franchise and if there was a game that deserves the same amount of attention that FFVII Remake received, it should be Final Fantasy VIII.
But in recent years, Final Fantasy VII has certainly overshadowed the rest of the franchise, and VIII has not been seen in the best light due to its unbalanced mechanics and confusing time travelling plot.
