    There’s plenty of good reason to not like FF8. None of them keep it from being my favorite though. 🙂

      I see this complaint online a lot and never understood it. When I go back to DS1 the four directional rolling always bothers me and I often get hit because I try to roll diagonally and it doesn’t let me. When I play DS2, it lets me roll in eight directions and feels much better to me. What am I missing here?

      People hate the level scaling in VIII, because the wisest way to play the game is to never level up.

      It’s still my 3rd favorite entry in the series, though. I don’t try to min/max, I just enjoy the game.

        The level scaling is really kind of trash. I played as a kid and it was really hard, and the more I leveled the worse it got.

        As an adult it was trivial because I learned not to level, but that was really tedious. Who plays a game to not play a game?

        Plus the card game is the most Guide Dang It thing I’ve ever seen. It’s extremely esoteric and the rewards are massive. Also it’s so jarring to be like “oh shit the world is ending do you wanna be cards?”

      I always hear of 8+9 as the black sheep of the classic Final Fantasy games. They were a big part of my childhood, though, so I love them both.
