- Getting Eden from this guy was always fun. And using the addons to make him slightly harder does not help. :P Also testing out a few things here like the implementation of ReShade. And hey, I got Fat Chocobo's textures and upscaled them. Hope he can be added to Project Hellfire soon. Still showing the GF upscales, too. Enjoy.

This game always made me wonder if FF8 is actually a direct sequel to FF7 based far....FAR in to the future, say tens of thousands of years. I mean the hynes in this games mythology could just be a legend describing sephiroth being defeated, the moombas could be red XIII's race evolved over millenia, The shelters (aka gardens) could have been built by shinra remanants due to the planets demise, esthar could be built on the ruins of midgar explaining it's unique technologically avandced society, and even in this scene you have what look like materia reacting to the ultima weapon..... in an under water cavern that looks suspiciously like the remnants to the temple of the ancients. Even magic's scarcity is explained by the damage sephiroth did, thus meaning all the sorceresses were both cetra and corrupted by jenova.... explaining why they all enevitably go insane. Also if you look closely you'll see that the ultima weapons sword is nearly identical to clouds ultima sword. This game is really more interesting when you view it through this lens.
I'm 3 years late to your comment but I've always loved the fan theories about FF 7 and 10 being connected
So fun fact: FF8 IS a direct-line sequel to FF7. The game that bridges the two is actually Xenogears. Cloud mentions the titular gear (He specifically says "Zeno... gias," which, pronounced in Japanese phonetics, is Xenogears.) after his fall into the lifestream, as well as speaking the lyrics for "Two Small Pieces," the theme from Xenogears.
FF7's Cetra legend speaks of a crystal spaceship (The Lunatic Pandora) which would take them to the Promised Land, a place where magic springs from the ground. This phenomenon occurs regularly in FF8's Draw Points, where magic literally springs forth from the ground. It is to be noted also that the Mobile Type-8 gear found on the Lunatic Pandora in FF8 was the completed Type-8 gear from Xenogears.
Long and short is that someone out there found a way to the Promised Land, well after the events of FF7.
And no, FF8 makes it clear that Moombas are ascended Shumi, not evolved R13's. Should've gone that route, though. Could've been something there.
HD remastered or not, back in the ps1 days ff8 graphic was mind blowing
Yeah, the particle system was legit.
Very true
I still love them. They are so well made.
I play by ps1
the cut scenes were mind blowing
This is the first ff game I bought with my own paycheck. Good times .
Damn I was bearly 9 playing this but I did buy FF 13 on my own forward from then but did play ff7 first as a Youngin to ff 15.
Awww! Ff8 was my first ever real RPG too, it'll always hold a special place in my heart.
ive been playing this game over and over for 20 years, and absolutely love it every time. what works the best for me, isn't GF's. I use physical attacks. ill call up doomtrain for a boss fight even if the poison attack heals the boss, just to cut its defenses and cast any abnormal statuses that it can. then I wail on it. aura and aura stones on squall and rinoa, and limit breaks go nuts. but just in case I always hit the hidden save point that's right there by the terminal.
Do you level up fast? I used to like it when on low level and enemies were tough
What hidden savepoint? I used to have a heart attack everytime I tried.
David V equip the move-find ability when you reach the bottom. There’s a hidden save point right there. But I never go after ultima weapon until my preferred party has their top weapons. My party is Squall, Rinoa, and Zell. Also I make sure Rinoa has taught Angelo both wishing star and invincible moon. But also I hit up the island closest to hell, and stock the spells found there. Well I used to, but ive found other ways to get the spells. If you get them, and junction them right, you can make your characters virtually invincible. Junction 100 ultimas, and 100 full-life’s to your elemental defense and all elemental attacks will actually heal you instead of harm you. The only slight exception is poison. Getting hit with poison will heal you, but it still carries its negative effects when you make an action. But if you can land yourself a ribbon, then you will never have to worry about it.
@@Jennifer-jt9cb thank you for the reply! I don't remember how I did it, nor how I dealt the frustration of doing the whole thing many times, but i defeated Ultima and omega (omega proof). I also remember being proud and promised to never do it again... Until I did it again. Love this game!
No clue why this guy is using random summons tbh
It's the least efficient and slowest way to do this
Maybe he just thought they looked cool or something
I love the sound from light pillar.
It sounds so deadly xD
it was deadly for me when played on psone, i still remember after more 15 years i was dying on each one
It’s my favorite sound effect in any final fantasy game actually. XD
It’s so badass.
I struggled for a LONG time here when I was young and playing this for the first time because I didn’t know about Zell being able to cut off the security system at the start of the dungeon. I worked my way all the way down to Ultima, fighting random battles every two steps just so I can get my ass whooped a few times trying to draw Eden back before I really understood the junction system to make my party stronger and have more defense. Good times
FF8 was my first ff and played it sometime around the year 2003 when I was 10, then tried 7 sometime around 2008-2015(can't really remember which year)
Took me till I was in my 20's to realize that ultima has a slightly different version of cloud's ultimate weapon.
I always thought the green rocks were materia and deepnsea lab's scientist just discovered a mako well and didn't knew what it was but the planet created a weapon and killed them all thus abandoning the island. This is a nice throwback to ff7.
My one problem and it was a small one with Omega/Ultima Weapon is that I think they deserved a special theme for fighting them (ala FFVI "Atma Weapon")
This is the best place to get a lot of 100 Curse Spikes from Tri-face then convert it to Dark Matter in order for Quistis to learn her final Limit Break, Shockwave Pulsar.
With all that mod. I can say now that
*You're the best good looking guy out here.
I forgot many details and scenes from the Final Fantasy series as I played them when I was young and they were coming out. I was having dreams for a while about a Final Fantasy game unlike any other. In one case there was a crystal teal staircase that lead down to an eternal darkness and at the bottom was where I faced this version of Ultima Weapon. A lot of it I guess was just my brains version of fragmented forgotten memories. Only my dreams were on another trippy level.
in my first play, I spam every GF in boss fight. then when i learn about junction i never used GF agan. in this video I think he wanted to show fighting scene with HD, good job.
Omg my 1st ff game then ff7 and ff9. I miss my highschool days
Just the same, being kid in the 90's....
the best game from Final Fantay series
david handinata ruclips.net/video/ukF98FAvX4Y/видео.html. 👍🏼
It's my favorite.... everyone says it's too mushy. I'm not into romance stories, but this was obviously more than that. People just had a bias because this wasn't their airships and crystals FF. Sorry if a flying school, a dragonesque space ship, and the powers of godly beings weren't archaic enough for them, but I can only see the imagination in this FF for futurizing those concepts.
I also believe the score and themes were Uematsu's Magnum Opus.
david handinata a thousand cheers and 👏's go to you sir. I ate every minute of this game up. It was all I could think about. Never wanted it to end, and was pissed to buy ix and find out it wasn't a continuation of 8.
It's my second favorite, even though I liked some of the things it did better than my actual favorite (which is the overrated one. 😂)
i love it too, but 10-1 is the best by far
This is better than the remaster..
Yes it's full screen
Holy shit, that looks so damn beautiful, I may get the game just to play it like this. Wow.
Use aura before holy war, switch rinoa with irvine...use limit break every time
Irvine's limit break is boss as hell.
I normally hate HD remakes but this is awesome everything looks good and matches the original aesthetic. Only thing that doesn’t look good is the font
10:00 SQUALL NO YOU'RE GONNA BRING DOWN THE WHOLE OCEAN ON TOP OF YOUR HEADS!
Rinoa limit break "wishing star" actually have a triple effect with the less than 1% chance to be executed.... I've encountered that kind of luck ☺️😁... If only I have record the video at that time as a proof 😑
renzokuken perfectly balanced, as all things should be
I remember grinding for this fight, sometimes I swear the trip all the way down the steps fighting the iron giants and red dragons was worse than ultima weapon himself.
Personally think they should have made a stage similar to this to get to omega weapon.
Back then i used holy war+meltdown+aura+spam limit break against all the tough bosses (ultima weapon, omega weapon, and ultimecia). I even grinded like a madman until all of my characters reached lvl100. Now i wish i could replay the game, but this time without the intense grinding and holy war.
amazing graphic and texture mapping.. and 10 fps per second. amazing.
"10fps per second"... excuse me,what the fuck?
Great game. Ultima weapon was hard to beat. This game has something that the stronger you level up. They level up as well.
I hated that about it haha. I'm used to being able to grind my way past bosses like this by just levelling way over them 😶
Nope... ultima is just a cakewalk... just one Lionheart would do.
The best ff for me, first time fight ultima weapon it's like the hardest enemy I've ever fight.
Wonder if this beast killed cloud and Tom his ultimate sword
collectors83/2015stig well the sword is pretty huge here for Cloud to have held it but that’s one theory. I have a theory that Ultima Weapon IS Cloud, or at least heavily connected with him. And not just because of the sword
Cloud's weapon never gets old.
This is the most epic battle of the most epic Final Fantasy episode of all time!!! Simply awesome!!! I remember that I also managed to defeat Ultima Weapon once at that time on the PS 1 but I remember it has been really a exhausting experience! 😱😱😱 Now I am looking forward to have the remake of this awesome game!!! 👍👍👍
Did Moomba just did 65000+ damage 😅
IvkneX Flarehoms haha I thought the same, WTF
Cheater alert haha
Sam Rhecker ......... which is a cheat
@Sam Rhecker which is cheating
Moomba reduces target's HP to 1 but caps at 9999 normally, so one of the mods must break the natural damage limit, which itself seems to hard cap at around ~60k damage.
Hey. Is that clouds ultima sword from ff7 the boss is holding?
Odd how someone mods the game and it looks really good and square said they might be able to do it since they lost the source code lol
Problem is what works for one computer will not always work for all computers. Instead of committing to it, Square uses an excuse. Someone who knows what they're doing comes around, and they make an excellent mod.
For example, when I use the HD textures option in the Steam version, they look so much worse than the PC version did back in 2000, which looked better or worse than the PS1 version depending on your computer. I know, because it was the version of FF8 I owned back then, and I was using a computer with a 300Mhz Celeron processor and 32MB of RAM. Not my computer, didn't have the option to upgrade it. The game ran like a slug.
Anyway, in the Steam version, the Triple Triad game especially looked muddy. You couldn't make out any of the card details. I only know what I was doing because I played it so many times, and I actually have a physical Triple Triad deck.
I don't know why he Just don't gave a Lion Heart. Only one and the battle were over.
Show off all gf he has!
This was a lot of fun to watch. The upscales look great!
I used squalls lion heart ability on ultimata weapon made short work of him was fully levelled up at the time great times playing this game
I just realized that's clouds ultimate weapon.
The blade its holding I mean
Wow, this fight was done straight, no cheese tactics that I see on so many other of these.
I always loved Renzokuken on Ultima and Omega. Squall goes to work on their asses.
Same with the bahamut fight
This boss wield Cloud's Ultima Weapon
And thus the name of the boss
Yes, it's a nice touch
this boss is the same boss like in ff7, but this time it is holding the sword.
i didn't remember that Squall's Blasting Zone can pass the 9999 dmg cap
Mods
why this can fullscreen and remastered just 4:3 ? why ?
This is PC
Square Enix did perfectly on the Remastered version on all platform..
PERFECTLY SLOPPY
@@qwerty6789x yeah, if it had bd background too it would have been even better
Now they need to port this to PS4!
hazardoustoxicity good Idea
hazardoustoxicity if they do I'd defo get it
if only - and add the same x3 speeds like ff7
Srsly..i have no idea why they skipped 8
FF8 could be have a good Trophy Set
i like how Squall looks here, not like that K-pop crap they made him look like on the Nintendo switch
good old time zell limit break only, 0.20s per hit, each around 5k-7k dame => 350k dame
Does anyone wanna point out that thing is holding a larger version of Cloud’s ultimate weapon? xD
My exact thoughts
This is amazing! Fantastic mod work!
Wow. The graphics on pc is amazing. So clear and clean
graphics still hold today imagine that
the remaster won't be that mind boggling... they really need to redo the environment assets anew if they want to call it a proper remaster, I don't mind the character models but the environment really begs for a refresh
Loved it so much I played it 20 years ago.
Why don't use Aura stone & use Lion Heart
You can’t use status changes when you have hero active
Too waste Hero Stone , Hero Stone I can fight omega weapon
Peter Parker I’m referring to this video. The player used hero on his party. The question was, why didn’t they cast aura on the party and use limits? I was just letting them know that they couldn’t use aura if they used hero first
I kinda feel this person didn't junction their characters properly
His cheating maybe, no one can get all magic in 100 like phoenix phinion exaamples
@@haikewi You can get all magic to 100 its just very time consuming same with phoenix pinion. Playing A LOT of triple triad and using card mod ability.
@@GundamGamingx not just phoenix phinion, its just my examples.
Long time memories... i found the funniest strategy to play it risky and have all of the chars at low health and use limit breaks all the time. So much fun with ff8! Wp👍
I remember when i fight ultima weapon but i forgot to draw eden
FF9 have last boss Eden
If you forgot to draw GF from boss, bosses in Ultimecia's castle have them.
Back the days i was playing this game so long..... Today just watch on RUclips lazy see so long fight soni just scoll final battle hahaha to see the ending hehehehe
At the very least the invincible from holy war and rinoas LB should last like 2 turns. Its so OP the way it is its ridiculous.
if this ever gets a remake, i want them to play the victory fanfare in the commercials
Killing Ultima in 1 turn by Zells Limit Break and Squall only
Cerberus - triple aura - hero
Repeat
Easy ultima weapon actually..
Better than remastered the background wooww
Love the HD mods!
What happened to the original boss music? I’m glad they are using the original ps1 score for the remaster 😊
For this particular bossfight this theme has always played
One of my favorite final fantasy games of all time and no to the person who thinks that you are bad at this game is not true I think that you are good
Boa Tarde, amigo instalei todos os Mod menos o (GeDoSaTo Downsampling Config v2.2 por Mcindus) que não consigo de forma alguma instalar, tem como me passar uma passo a passo?
The fight is take too long. Why don't they call saitama so the fight will end with one punch
Or using the "The End" attack 😁🤣😂
海洋探査人工島マップきれいで好きだったな
How did you manage to not get all the Random Fights on your Way down to the Boss? Not even ENC 0% from Diabolos could save me from them.
Schall-Rauch you have to evenly distribute all of the steam quantities, and don’t have Zell trying to use the controls at the last terminal. By memory anyway, I haven’t played in a while 🤷🏼♂️
No shit, holy war item is like using rugal in kof hahaha
this music is very similar to one soundtrack of brave fencer musashi
ขอวิธีโหลด เอามาเล่นในคอมหน่อยค่ะ เราอยากเล่นมาก แต่ไม่รู้วิธีโหลด ชอบมาก คิดถึงยุคนั้นเลยค่ะ
WOW its look beter than FFVIII Remaster 2019 version! :-)
Bynk333 😭
Just wait and see the final Version
hey. thats Cloud’s Sword
How were you not thrown into 10,000 fights on the way there?
Such an inefficient way of killing that thing
Holy war=sheet,same for item code....i mean all stat at 255....
Isnt that thé ultima weapon of cloud? Becasue its look l'île thé same sword but hé is more big o.o
It is indeed!
Man i was just about to ask when did they come out with a HD remaster of FF8? I got excited then realized it was a mod :(
shoje82 Sorry about that. Not saying Square won't someday if the FF7 remake does well.
FatedCourage No apology needed. It looks great man keep up the good work! 👍
steam has the remastered ff8 and ff7 just add the mods to the game and you should be fine..... their also getting remastered for the switch to
the best team always rinoa , irvine and squall XD
took me less then 3 min to finish him. cast slow on irvine, shot 60 fast ammo in 1 go, lionheart and repeat first 2 attack on zell.
Where can find this HD vision?
Even though it was probably because of the difficulty mod, would anyone else call bs on Ultima using Light Pillar three consecutive times? I would be mad as hell if that led into a game over.
My God, this looks so good, how or where can I get this version of the game?
do you have a link for the mod please.I have ff8 steam but i dont know how to do this
Anybody know the reason why the ultima weapon from 8 has clouds ultima weapon sword from 7?
john hartsell well the most straight forward reason would be that its a nod to the previous game? A sort of cameo if you will.
So this is what happened to cloud after FF7...
Is there a mod that puts the ps1 music into the game?
it seems there was some excavation going on and 'Ultima' stopped it :)
The wikis which refer to the official walkthrough state that the scientists were actually looking for a power source bigger than known G.F.s. In the process, they found Ultima weapon which was so powerful and fierce they fled in terror and left everything behind. The site had to be evacuated immediately.
I remember playing this part back in the day, and the encounter rate of strong monsters on the floors leading up to Ultima Weapon were ridiculously high! I notice here, they’re not. Any explanation? Please and thank you...
You can't allow Zell to open up the halfway floor(or simply not have him in your party) and you must equip Diablos' Enc-None ability in order to make it to the bottom of the dungeon without encountering any enemies. Otherwise, enemy encounters will be either fixed or plentiful.
@@darinlunderman8063 I think enc none doesn't even work here.
did he hold the last weapon for cloud?
Bro must have hit MUG on Cloud in FF7 and got the sword.
Why do you wait so long between moves, cerberus then shellx3 and protect x3 would have been good, then aura and hes owned, but Im guessing this was to showcase the mod, so nice mod
MX Media You're correct. I'm just showing the mods and my own GF upscales. Or else I'd never use them in battle. Aura and Meltdown is all you need with this guy to win. And Haste.
Un mundo de FF8 online, sería lo mejor
How did you just walk down? Diablo’s no attack perk doesn’t work down there.
It does work. But only if you use the power given to you properly and not have Zell bust open the door. If Zell does, then it negates Diablos' Encounter-None.
How do you make the text boxes transparent? I mean in my version of the mod the boxes that should be are of an even more solid dark grey color than the normal ones
420praiseit I don't think you can? If everything looks the same as in this video then everything should be good. Everything that's transparent works normally for me. Unless I'm missing something.
I think it has to do with the menu gradients contained in 'iconflmaster_14', because if I delete that file everything is fine in HD but the menu gradients which are back to low res, but at least I regain the transparent text boxes...I have the Italian version btw... Maybe I should go to Qhimm to ask McIndus in the Seed Reborn topic... Thanks for answering though
420praiseit Strange... Guess I never noticed. But Mcindus might be able to figure it out. He's the main man behind that mod and more knowledgeable than I.
hey 420! does your italian iconflmaster_14 have a black background or a transparent one?
Hi Mcindus! Black background; while iconfl00_14, iconfl01_14 and iconfl03_14 have a black background too, iconfl02_14's is white.
These mods look great
10 minutes? Renzokuken no eh?
Looks great
Let Squal do his limit break... you'll get Lion Heart if you are lucky... the enemy will suffer 9999 multiple times
i love this ff8 become 1 hit damge to omega and ultima weapon the best boss fight ever.
