FF8 is a great game with some very strange design choices. It doesn't even remotely come close to sucking. But I do agree with voodoo, the FF game that died truly suck is FF13.

You are making stories up just for the sake of hating ! SE prioritize social media engagements and only acknowledge something if the obnoxious fandom behind it are loud enough despite how ugly and bad the game
the sad part is the only people that hate on FF8 are the obnoxious FF9 fandom that tries to silence the voices that wants FF8 to get a remake , its insane to me that the game that need remake the most gets buried because of how selfish and annoying the fans are

Well it doesn't for one (90 meta so thats a nonsense comment) but it was completely ignored and theyve done many many features on 9 for months. 8 outsold 9.

lying or misnformed and pretending you're right?

You must be mentally challenged. VIII was by far the best of VII, VIII, and IX.

FF8 has a great world esthetic, characters, music ,and best summons( GFs ) in the series but the combat, draw and junction system did not age well . Drawing magic sucks , hella tapping square when using GFs sucks, using magics sucks , level scaling sucks ( although you can break the game if you wanted..... it still sucks ) .... only redeeming quality in combat in general are limit breaks . Story is also a mixed back .... don't even start with me with the orphanage reveal .... like wtf .

Explain? Let me guess, you didn't like the junction system. The battle system takes a dump on 9 and that's what matters most. If 8 sucks then what does that say about 9, it's the lowest selling FF on Playstation.

Matter of opinion.. fine you didn’t like it but the vast majority did including me. It was a step ahead especially graphically at that time. It was an almost flawless experience just 2-3 years after FF7.

I have same feeling about FFX which i absolutely hated for some reason. Vast majority liked it and that’s fine.
Just do not generalize based on subjective opinion

@Kakashi Hatake Ya i don't the like combat in VIII and sales aren't really the best argument as to why VIII is better . I was 16 when it released , VIII sold better because it rode off the hype train that was VII with new flashy graphics. XI also released after the ps2 released which killed momentum for Ps1 games and X released less then year later . .

Was VIII's combat bad ?! no not really but it's not also something I look forward to if I ever played it again . At least with IX I get 4 party members, get to find new weapons and armor that I can use to learn new spells and skills, level grinding that matters , you know classic rpg stuff except for trance ... which sucked

Thankfully most people don't think like this. It's one of the best in the series AND the most underrated.
