01:48 “Squall, you’re forgetting something... Your GF.” “No, you’re standing right in front of me.”
-
I played through 7 and 8 when they were relatively new. Amazing how much the imagination will fill in when there's nothing better to compare it to. I doubt I could play it through again in it's original form but the remaster has been great so far. I remember thinking the backgrounds were such eye candy. Interesting that the Switch version doesn't improve them. The backgrounds really made memorable for me.
-
My favorite FF game. So many memories of the hours and hours leveling up every character/GF to their maximum levels, getting all Triple Triad cards, kicking Omega and Ultima Weapons' butts... I would love to play it again after all those years but damn this new Squall look really pushes me away.
-
Good work on the video, and pretty educational. Its never been difficult to enjoy games, and this remaster has rekindled my attachment to VIII
-
Cant wait for 2029 for the Remake...
-
Wow, you got this done a lot faster than I expected. Great work! Thanks for clearing up some of the information I wasn't completely sure on.
-
Squall looks so much cooler in the original version with the way his hair is brushed up. There's just something elegant about it. The remaster version makes him look like he just woke up. I really don't like how they made him look like a generic anime character.
-
I actually owned the '99 Eidos PC version back in the day, along with the original FF7 PC port! I still loved them, but I never quite grasped exactly how poor they were in comparison to the PSX originals. Even the crappy .midi sound, though, couldn't stop "Man with the Machine Gun" from being an absolute banger.
-
the first game that lets you take a selphie
-
Been waiting for this one! Thanks for all your hard work! Really appreciated.^^
-
I had a lot of bad info about later releases. I appreciate this video so much!
-
I was SO into this, I actually ordered the mini PS pocket version. Turns out I still have that. Gives you MASSIVE advantages. The ribbons.
-
I love that they took time to remodel Siren to cover the golden bush but left Shiva's big blue porthole covering alone.
-
They turned Squall into a brunette Tidus
-
damn this was a super in depth review and super helpful, thanks!
-
1999: 11/10 would bang Shiva and Siren 2019: still 11/10 would bang Shiva and Siren
-
I'm almost 100% sure they used the same Squall character model from the PSP Dissidia game.
-
C'mon square patch the backgrounds with an AI upscaler. Fans have done it on the PC versions.
-
I really like your review and comparisons it was a really awesome and detailed explaination too. Thank you.

Whenever I have source data from hit titles, I usually place it on a harddrive in an unmarked shoebox and toss it into the ocean. I'll hope to find it when the time comes.
