Its really easy to break the system with drawing the more powerful spells to junction and raise your stats. Sad to see this is a lazy port.
I'm glad that worked for you. Quoting for the next page.
Nope.
Something that has always bothered me about the game, and the trailer brought it up:

Enemies scale with you, so it's best to avoid leveling up altogether.
(END OF DISC 1 SPOILERS)
Irvine shoots Edea from the clock tower, while she's stuck in the gate.
The bullet gets to Edea from the front of the carriage, and she blocks it with a magic shield.
Squall jumps down from the clock tower, snatches a car and drives straight to the gate, reaching Edea's Carriage from the back (as it should be, since the parade was facing away from the clock tower), where she is naturally shielded by the huge back-side of her throne.
Did Irvine's bullet travel all the way across the globe, or what?

So... stupid Squeenix DRM still required I assume?
I think 9 is better in almost every way, but i still enjoy playing 8 more, because it's more relaxing.
Just run the game at 320x240 resolution, solved!
Kind of a joke... not sure if you can even set the resolution, windows probably bottoms out at 640x480...
It can run in windowed mode at any resolution, while keeping your standard desktop resolution.
No?
I literally downloaded it from Steam and clicked it and the launch window/options came up. then I was in the game. I didn't register anything. I didn't agree to anything. I didn't put in any product key code or download any additional programs. It didn't even ask me to register with Squaresoft. Here is what happened:
Step 1: I downloaded game.
Step 2: I click game in library and launcher comes up.
Step 3: I click Play in launcher.

Ah right, forgot that you could buy all Occult Fan.
The only missable mag is the one from the Laguna sequence.
Hahaha yeah, I missed that fact!
Ew is there an option to change that?
Add this to the OP.
It's just like Zell's limit break where he runs across the globe（´・ω・）

FFVIII was at one time my favorite but it has since dropped a few spots. Still up there though. It was the first I really got into after a hiatus from console games and played through two and a half times. I still have the two separate full game files for PS1 on a PS2 card so I should revisit there.
Game was memorably hella hard when one played blind without faq and leveled up as with my first game file. Second game file is much less taxing and more refined. Not breaking the system but keeping levels low and what-not (it's been a while).
Tempted to get this but maybe on a sale later on.

The OT will be up soon (20 mins) with additional info from this thread.
Because the PC version has been available for over a decade. The ins and outs from this port are well known and documented.

There's something primeval about this mix of ultra high-res 3D models and pixelated 2D backgrounds that makes it look... good.
I can't say what it is.
Hmmm makes sense guess I'll give it a download
The steam version of FFVII is almost exaclty the same, only they ask you to register/login to Square the first time it boots. I didn't even have to do that since I already had a linked account from Hitmant/SleepingDogs/Deus Ex. So it was pretty much just as fast.
From what I'm hearing so far on the Steam release, this is a perfect opportunity for me.
Never finished it, and if memory serves...it's been close to (9 years I wanna say?) since I've played it. Although I do remember stopping at the beginning of disc 3 on the PS1 version because of other focuses in life/gaming, and I do remember being stuck with seemingly nowhere to go at some point.
Either way I'm stoked to get in on this.

Best of the PS1 trilogy.
Suck it, VII fanboys
Actually I think the biggest group that would contend that would be IX fans. They probably outnumer VII fans by this point.

definitely getting it on sale...hopefully the winter sale!
Final Fantasy VII is still my favorite game of all time.
Although I bounce back and forth between that and Chrono Trigger depending on the weather.
Would it have hurt for them to add some 2D filtering, it looks hideous.
IX and VIII are both close to my heart.
IX is a better game (junctioning is BROKEN and you know it) but I do love the setting of VIII.
This, much like VII, just does nothing for me.
Awesome games I've loved in the past, but I'm totally underwhelmed and unwilling to replay them this way. It just doesn't make much sense to me. Feels wrong.
A full HD remake, on the other hand, I could get behind. Like with FFX and X-2

No kidding, i'd happily but a 150$ collector edition for that.

What time is it?

I don't think VII holds up very well but VIII was never good. Squall's indecision ruins anything redeemable about the adventure.

Funny, I linked a friend to the FFVIII thread just last night, and it comes out today. He will be happy.
In my opinion older RPGs like this are magical on the Vita, there's something intimate about story-telling in RPGs on a smaller screen, kind of like curling up with a book. So yeah, Vita all the way for me.
