How old is old? Does FFVIII count as old? Because that was my favorite game for a long time and I shipped just about everything and I wrote fic/drew fanart for it (really terrible fic and art but it was there!).

I am most of the way through a replay of it, now - I'm grinding the Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell to get my GFs to level 100 - and it was what I was going to respond with, too.

I didn't make any fic or art about it, but I sure loved it. Kiros/Ward was my first real m/m ship. (I'm still not entirely convinced it's not canon.)

(I remember when it was an underrated game...now it seems to be seriously beloved by most...I am shocked, but delighted by this.)

FF8, from what I can tell, is one of those games that's extremely polarizing, and has no real middle ground. I remember being super hyped for it as a kid, playing it and... throwing my controller to the ground exclaiming something not so pleasant when I got to the plot twist on Disc 3 because even back then I found it ridiculous, haha.

That said, looking back on it as an adult, I found that while I greatly better understood Squall's character, I found myself interested in everyone who wasn't Squall and Rinoa, lmao. I'm not sure I'd want modern day Squenix to make a sequel, but I really kinda wanted to see more of the FF8 world and the lore built upon (especially the Guardian Forces). I'm still kinda buttmad that Dirge of Cerberus was originally planned to be a FF8 spin-off featuring Irvine (who's my favorite character) and then they decided to go with FF7 instead, though given how DoC turned out? I think it was for the best they didn't use the FF8 setting.

I also loved the overall aesthetic. The futuristic, squeaky clean sci-fantasy setting was a nice contrast to the lived in junkyard-esque feel of FF7.

I think it counts, it's about as old as some of my early favourites.

That aside, I only got into Final Fantasy in 2005 ad maged to get PC copies of 7 and 8 from Ebay, but they don't work on Win7 - or is it Griever or Jenova that doesn't work? I know one game didn't work and the one that did, the savegame editor wouldn't work, as I just can't play without some cheat options.

That was me.
