YES.

i agree. the music and the dialogue was breathtaking.

I LOVED the game. Apparently FF fans are supposed to find everything about it to be horrible.

Oh well, haters gonna hate.

[identity profile] getharion.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I used to feel ashamed to admit FF8 is my favorite FF. Then at some point I just stopped caring.

KUDOS! I always thought it was really sad that people bashed it so much. I thought the gameplay was fun and enjoyed the characters (not so much Squall, but like, Irvine? YES PLS!!)

I've loved you before, hun, but your love for FFVIII just makes me love you even more <3

<3333

This game owns my heart. Which reminds me, I should get my PSP out soon and continue to play it :3

I think FFVIII was great, but I thought the last boss battle was DREADFUL... and don't get me started on Adel, either. They're supposed to be challenging... not slaughtering.

But if you beat her? KUDOS TO YOU. I can't count the blood sweat and tears mixed into hours I spent on my characters and then on her only to fail every time. :C Granted, my GF's were much to be desired I guess...

I guess I was just bad at the game! I'm not sure why this is a secret though, OP. Having trouble finding FFVIII love? :O

Aura on everyone, with Quistis using Mighty Guard and you can't fail. I had Squall renzokukening and Irvine using pulse or ap ammo and it was over rather quickly.

[identity profile] hyper-amychao.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
This. And because the battle was so long, the Aura lasted forever. That definitely helped. :)

[identity profile] meiko-matsui.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I tried something like this... Maybe my weapons are too weak...? But thanks, if I ever wanna give it another go I'll try this. :D

It's really worth the effort to play the card game and/or card enemies so you can use Quetzacotl's card refine ability to make spells. 100 tornados is a major strength booster, meltdown for vitality, and you can get those as early in the game as Balamb.

I spent hours doing that once, and from then on, every single battle was easy as pie, because at level 25 my Squall had a 1000 pt attack. I have that game saved so I can start new games from there, and I don't have to go through the whole process again, but man, was it worth it.

I first did this because I got so stuck at Adel I had to restart the whole game over again, and I just soared past her with this technique. That's why I love the junctioning system so much, your strength is completely under your control. The only really tricky battles for me were Ultima and Omega Weapon, and I managed those on the second and first try, respectively, too.

Meltdown + Aura + Limit Breaks = win.

It takes a while, but that's what makes the battle so fun. Even using the game's most powerful attacks, it can still take around half an hour to defeat her.

Also try not to level up too much. Remember: bosses grow with you.

[identity profile] meiko-matsui.livejournal.com 2011-06-14 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
That was my downfall, actually, for the most part. I super leveled up not knowing that. Now... I'm FUBARED. :C

[identity profile] hyper-amychao.livejournal.com 2011-06-12 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree so much with this secret! :)

(Anonymous) 2011-06-12 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreed 100% OP! The thing I love most about Ultimecia's battle is that you can't just spam spells or use a ridiculously powerful summon to finish her off quickly. Even using the best limits, it can take some time and tactics to beat her.

And god forbid you don't revive one of your characters as soon as they're KOed...

Trufax, it was very well done.

[identity profile] lashiec.livejournal.com 2011-06-13 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I LOVE FF8, but the build up to her...eh. I got more worked up for the fights with Edea, honestly. Parade sequence was incredible.

[identity profile] morloki.livejournal.com 2011-06-14 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Man, she creeped me the hell out! Was satisfying beating her into nothing~

What lines did she have in the Japanese version?

NGL, I thought her English lines were pretty creepy.
