My opinion about this game might be tainted by the fact that this is my first Final Fantasy game. It might have been my first jrpg after Pokemon and Super...
I don’t think the author gets it anymore. Like they’ve played many JRPGs since, got pigeonholed, went back to FF8, and compared it. FF8 does not feed the narrative. It’s a PS game using every trick in the book to create a huge world, cultures, and with expanse in the adventure.
Just going down the road is supposed to feel like you’re well into a long adventure into a big world of many different things, stories, and cultures. It’s not disconnected writers, lol.
And they don’t know what GFs are for. There are so many different ways to play the game. You lock into your main party characters because that’s the play style you’re going for and it’s like building a deck. You can play the game a completely different way again. You can pick your main party at random before starting and have a hoot forcing yourself into a play style you’ve never thought to give a go before.
They lost the magic. When they first played it, they were creative and imaginative. Now they’re playing it again, they’re used to RPGs doing that all for them.
It’s my fav FF.
