It's true. It's damn true.

An average of 1 in 10 SNES owners had a copy of FFVI (3 million software units sold on 30 million consoles during peak)
An average of 1 in 7 PS1 owners had FFVIII (9 million software units sold on 65 million consoles during peak)

I think I'm more right than you can possibly imagine.

We can return. The formula is simple. SPIKY hair. Fragrance. Supremely good looking characters. Melodrama. Party based roleplay.

Post about why you like Final Fantasy VIII right now, or else you have to go back

I disagree. Why do you believe that? Towns? NPC's? Nah man, I'd argue that specifically the characterizations of FFXIII and story pacing are actually superior to FFVIII especially if we are talking about the entire party. The party in FFVIII suffer greatly compared to the focus on Squall/Rinoa. In XIII the party all have their own greater characterizations arcs and motivations. FFVIII is a more traditional JRPG by design of course but it was the first 3D FF to really rock the boat with experimentation and breaking outside of the JRPG mold. FFVIII is the "experimental JRPG" progenitor to FFXIII just as much as FFX was.

Based. Final Fantasy VIII Remake could be the greatest Final Fantasy video game of all time.

But I seriously doubt the world is ready for it. It's almost an impossibility. FFVIII cannot possibly be remade with modern developers. And if it is remade....I just hope that fans will have a more open mind this time.
