It's made by Konami, not Squenix, and there's 108 characters so the summaries would be astronomically long if you had everyone's info in it.<br /><br />Yeah I actually looked into some of those mods, but decided that I wanted to play on my Vita since it needed some love. It's weird, when you look at images from the game before you start replaying it, you think the graphics are awful, but once you start playing and get into it, you don't notice it as much. At least that's been my experience this time around.<br /><br />No offense taken, I'm well aware that FF8 doesn't have as much love among fans that some (most?) of the other games do. Maybe it's because I played 8 before 7 when I was younger, so I don't have the nostalgic connection to 7 that a lot of people have. I always used to dislike FF7 a lot, probably from all the popularity it gets, but in recent years I've gotten over that and now I like the game just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27735533785789703.post-9758244542976621122014-01-31T06:42:48.831-08:002014-01-31T06:42:48.831-08:00Rawr, you have no idea how many times during my pl...Rawr, you have no idea how many times during my playthrough of Crisis Core I was thinking Chrono Cross in my head... must be something with the alliteration... damn alliteration... Anywho... I can tell you I already know what my next series is going to be post Chrono-Cross. I'm only giving one hint, that it is not going to be a Squenix series... though it will be a hell of a good time... and I'm going to absolutely hate writing up the dailies... but that's a LONG way off.<br /><br />Glad to hear you're playing again. I'd only played through FF7 once before my playthrough for this.. Good game, just don't think its aged very well. I've heard good things about the steam version and some of the mods people have made to help alleviate that... but you're going the Vita route, so that doesn't help. Crisis Core I had never played before and was really pretty surprised of how good it was.<br /><br />I'm not knocking your opinion... but I think I'd be hard pressed to place FF8 in my Top 5... not that its a bad game... I just think it carries alot more flaws than most of the games. I'm not going to rank them now... though, I will be in my year-end recap in a few months, so you can look forward to that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415346835873675332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27735533785789703.post-18331593502322969952014-01-30T09:50:35.051-08:002014-01-30T09:50:35.051-08:00You put a little typo in there today.

If only you were talking about Chrono Cross though, what a great game! Maybe a Chrono series thesis in the future? Wouldn't be very long though...<br /><br />Also, just wanted to say hi, since I haven't commented in awhile. You've inspired me again, btw. I've been playing FF7 on my Vita and have got Crisis Core ready to go in PPSSPP on my computer. Just started disk 2 of FF7. It's probably my least played FF outside of the original 3 so it's been years since the last time. I also only played Crisis Core once, when I first got a used PSP years ago, so I'm looking forward to that playthrough!<br /><br />FF8 has got to be in my top 5 Final Fantasies. I've replayed it quite a few times. Something about the world and the story and the characters and the broken-ness just clicks with me. I don't mind at all that the game is super easy to break on disc 1. I usually end up just using physical attacks for thousands of damage for the rest of the game, makes things go faster than spells and summons. Maybe you can find a more creative way to play through the game though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
