This is by far my favorite Final Fantasy! I loved everything about it - the characters, the story, the world, etc. While it wasn't my first step into the franchise, it nevertheless remains my favorite! It's sad this game gets so little recognition. It may have been different, but that does not make it bad by any means.
@@kurikuraconkuritas No, in recent years, I've found out it actually wasn't as unpopular as people would have you believe -- and SE has paid it constant attention over the years. They give the characters shit constantly, especially Squall... But they've still acknowledged FFVIII a lot. Supposedly, the "silent majority" really wants an VIII remake -- and Kitase, the Director, said he wants it done, too.
My first Final Fantasy,I miss so much the World Map and all the secret place like Centra's Ruins, Obel Lake, UFO, Kyactus Island, Hell Island, Heaven Island...
I really loved this time cause you could spend a lot of time getting secret GFs and items (Without paying for dlc!!!!) and really just have fun grinding and leveling up your characters. This is definitely my favorite structure for a game.
No It Is Simple!..In Final Fantasy Terms! :P Because of those guys I had great unforgetable moments with my first RPG & FF game ever...FFVIII will always remain my fav...cause of it I started following the Final Fantasy games one by one, even digging up the old ones...getting open up to every world and sink in it, never rejecting any of them for mere limited personal views cause I know it'll only sadden its fans...so, Big Cheers for Those Awesome Peeps
+Alexander Dashit They should remake this game with the lastest CG Technology for stunning graphics and make an multiplayer online game with the same story and maybe with sequel storys.
Je rejoue à FF8 en 2017 et je suis toujours aussi bluffée par la beauté des graphismes et images de synthèse!! La plus belle modélisation de Squall reste pour moi l'originale :)
Je ne savais pas qu'ils avaient déjà utilisé le motion capture à partir de celui-ci. Incroyable n'empêche le travail mis dans ce jeu, malheureusement les millions sortent mais on à plus le plaisir d'antan c'est frustrant.
I was a huge ff7 fan and hated this game when it came out. Having played this numerous times now I think it may be the best. If you play it 100% you'll see each disc is completely loaded with content. It gives you the option to have some of the best weapons and magic from the beginning which makes it incredibly easy but you can avoid those to make it a challenge. Gil is kinda pointless tho because they practically shower you with it and the draw system keeps you from having to stock up on anything. All in all quite possibly the best final fantasy ever.
Thank you very much for this upload. :D I love to watch and read how games were/are made. And the VHS-optic adds so much nostalgia. (Started playing the game this week again - so this video was perfect. ^^)
Even though the storyline is a bit weak, I still love this game. VII was the first FF game I played, but for some reason I really loved VIII when it came out, the character designs, the music, the animated cut scenes blew me away. I also loved the pacing of the game an the world that they designed. I actually find Squall and Rinoa to be pretty annoying characters, but because everything else was done so well it didn't even matter. Maybe I'll play the game again and see if I can warm up to their love story :D
+Alexander Dashit You sir, said it all. FFVIII has a really good concept that until now, it still remain as my favorite Final Fantasy game. Although I agree a bit with +miap that throughout my gameplay Squall and Rinoa hit a few annoying bits throughout the game, but given their backgrounds it is not entirely impossible that they would develop such traits. Especially the part where the two of them are at the ball. I agree that this is what "as you said made them realistic and believable". But overall FFVIII still remains as one of the best FF I have played in the entire series. With the exception of FFX (never did get to play that).
When I heard the French speaker at the beginning, I was like "uh-oh"! My mom is the French speaker in my household, though I can sometimes translate while reading French. FF8 is probably my fave FF game ever, though all the others are fun, too (not FF13's gameplay, though). It's awesome how FF8 had its own version of the Arc de Triomphe. Nobuo said they hadn't used songs with words before, but what about One-Winged Angel from FF7?
reminds me of old times watching game network or m6 in paris on tv, you could get a "soluce" game trick showing how to solvea crash bandicoot or super mario 64 level... good times and they kept saying game cube would be ultra realistic even though we got wind waker... things have gotten so far sibce then... likely there are even android emulators for gamecube ps1 and n64 for the mobile hardware...
Think of it this way: most soap operas have complex storylines involving betrayal and lies and other garbage. On the other hand, The Matrix has a simple storyline. It's about the characters' development and relationship to other characters. You know nothing, Jon Snow.
+Alex Loranger Sounds like you need to rewatch The Matrix! Neo is a tiny dot to the story, but story*line* I guess you're right. I just hope you caught the plot
+Free Knowledge Story/Plot is actually quite simple: *SPOILERS ALERT**** Man is bored of life, wants answers; discovers secrets hidden: rises to challenge of saving humanity from machines.
this game must get remastered with optional voice overs, ide like the world map too be like assasins creed carribean with the ships at war but in the sky and at sea with the gardens etc
How much did the animators charge for that? Nowadays a teenager can animate like that or better without the need to hire real people to map the movement though i bet you the people who animated this still charges a fortune while those teenagers will have a hard time getting a job.
motion capture is expensive even today. and software such as blender did not exist in the way it does today. you needed powerful computers and outside college it was very hard (if at all) to learn 3d art and animation
FF8 est un mauvais jeu. Impossible d’y jouer sans une soluce. La difficulté est volontaire et imaginé juste pour faire perdre du temps au joueur. Jouer avec une soluce est-ce jouer ? le meilleur FF c’est le 15 car justement on joue sans soluce même si l’histoire est nulle suffit de passer les cinématiques.
aah... the good old days when the release of a FF was an event...
In fairness, it's still like that for main entries. I just ignore the sequels and pretend that they never happened.
It was the best game on the market then now we have Halo and COD which has replaced this franchise
the year is 2020 and the release of a FF was an event. thank you for your service soldier.
idin I didn’t mean a remake or a spinoff, I meant the latest in the series.
This is by far my favorite Final Fantasy! I loved everything about it - the characters, the story, the world, etc. While it wasn't my first step into the franchise, it nevertheless remains my favorite!
It's sad this game gets so little recognition. It may have been different, but that does not make it bad by any means.
it doesn’t need to be popular to be good. and you know what? I think ff8 is very popular but fans are not speaking out

@@LoneGamerNerd It's alright but it isn't the best
I'm here because this is my fav ff game even here in 2019
My first Final Fantasy,I miss so much the World Map and all the secret place like Centra's Ruins, Obel Lake, UFO, Kyactus Island, Hell Island, Heaven Island...
Exactly what made them magical and nostalgic, I miss running into some place I never knew about
back when square was on their fuckin game making hits. now its a former shell of itself.
I really loved this time cause you could spend a lot of time getting secret GFs and items (Without paying for dlc!!!!) and really just have fun grinding and leveling up your characters. This is definitely my favorite structure for a game.
R.I.P Squaresoft we miss you
that's for sure !!! square enix is not squaresoft...
onimenokyo christy yeah anyways in my opinion I dislike new final Fantasy games 🤢😅
same thing for me . the nes , snes , psone era miss me .
Nobuo so young here, its good to see the few still continued to do some of the makings of the recent FF titles
this is the best game of my childhood
if i ever play ff8 again, i will notice every time Rinoa blinks.
that's a pretty big if, though.
Lmao
“…So we kept the story simple.”
Riiight. Lol
Thanks for uploading this!
3:24 Morita Masakazu detected, doing motion capture for Zell Dincht.
Thank you, this made my day.
Thanks for uploading this! I love stuff like this about older games. Super interesting to see :)
I've played this game 50% because of the music and 50% the overall design. Uemastu & Nomura are genious.
No It Is Simple!..In Final Fantasy Terms! :P

XRinoaBCX Great words!! Me too I'm enjoying one by one :D
Finaly I found this = ) Thanks man this is a gold record. FF8 Best Final Fantasy
+Alexander Dashit They should remake this game with the lastest CG Technology for stunning graphics and make an multiplayer online game with the same story and maybe with sequel storys.
+best I would buy it without having second thoughts! FFVIII will always remain as the best for me!

Incroyable n'empêche le travail mis dans ce jeu, malheureusement les millions sortent mais on à plus le plaisir d'antan c'est frustrant.
Merci d'avoir conservé et uploadé cette archive ! :D
This game was amazing, pure fantasy, happiness, love, honor and friendship i miss this... I wish i could live inside this game

only 700 views for the best game in history this must not be the original video right? lol
Thank you for uploading this!
I hope they remake it very soon!
Not likely at the rate they're remaking 7 lol

@@karleclaire you’re really missing out. FFX was like VIII but better in my opinion. It’s like they merged VII and VIII together.
focus sur game one ... des bonnes souvenirs
It is the best graphic game on PS1, Square always make good RPG that time
At least that killed time.
la grande epoque de game one...
génial!!
Some countrys are Portugal several names came from.
Timber (Madeira), Cape of Good Hope...
8:23 Voix-off : les combats se déroulent au tour par tour...

Alex Loranger You can simplify life in such a way too...
+Jon Snow the story is actually simple if you ignore the theories.. well I admit it's hard to ignore them myself xD
Nobudo uematsu yeah!!! THIS PEOPLE
Doch das geht das er Personalausweis erhält
Er hat Geburtsurkunde und Staatsbürgerschaftnachweis
nice!
The first FF I've played. I really enjoyed it but VI and IX are my favorites.
IX was trash though really. Admit it, VIII story and gameplay was a little better c’mon dude ❤
finally its in Eng
Inreally hope they did a totaly remake (not reamstered) Like ff7
esa gemtee esta chibolaa carajo pórque no se quedaron
6:50 rawr
Motion capture is not a designer. More like cheating. Pixar animations without motion capture are the true master of designers
100 personnes seulement :O.
plz remake ff viii
this game must get remastered with optional voice overs, ide like the world map too be like assasins creed carribean with the ships at war but in the sky and at sea with the gardens etc
Yes, optional voice actors. Voice actors are great, but they don't always do it for me
English???
When Final Fantasy Games We Final Fantasy Not Final SHIT 13

Moi jy ai joué et je lai fini sans soluce, tu as pas du t'investir énormément.
I prefer FFXIII series.
es de joda no?
***** ???????????
Martin Castillo ¿Qué coño me estás contando? ¿Tienes algún problema con que el XIII sea mi favorito? xD
jajaj no mentira
si te gustan las cochinadas jodete solo
I really wish they would remake FF8 in the sense that it has none of the original characters and story. all new game. Trash fucking game.
Mais oui bien sûr.... ftg
