It's pretty cool that were getting 8 on the psn, especially for those that haven't played it.

I couldn't get into FFVII, so maybe I'll have more luck with this. I don't like that it uses level scaling, though. Very easy to screw yourself over when something like that is in place.

It also makes the game way too easy once you learn the ropes. Still a good game though. Lionheart is epic.

Once you get meltdown and junction to strength you can kill basically anything with renzokuken. You can do that in the first disk. Hell you don't even need meltdown. You can overpower yourself in 8 in like 5 hours if you know what you are doing.

:cry: i practically had to restart my file once i figured it out. Well not really, i had to restart because the PS3 cannot (atleast mine)emulate Disk 4 but i probably would have anyway. But the games been a cakewalk on my second playthrough. I cant believe Square implemented such a vulnerable system.

Great!!!

My copy has gotten lost in the winds of life and considering how it's impossible to even find early titles from this gen, FF8 cannot find it's way back into my collection any other way.

And I'll dare make the claim that FF8>FF7 in 2009 to someone who never played either.

Was there ever more to it than keeping all the junctioned magic stacks as close to 99 as possible?

I dont recall if i even beat the first disc because the battle system bored me to tears but will buy this on PSN again so i can re-play in on the PSP and hopefully see it through till the end this time.

forgot about meltdown, but at least the enemy's leveled up with you although if you know what you're doing it won't make that much of a difference. None the less i still enjoyed this final fantasy a great deal.

You could just as easily say the same thing about all the NES/SNES/Etc. games on the Wii virtual console or the Xbox games you can download for the 360. Besides, if you already own it, why would you pay for it again? You can already play it on your PS3, since all PS3s will play PS1 games (unlike the virtual console games; if I still have old NES carts, but my NES is broken, I can't play those old games on the Wii without repurchasing. Lame.) Releasing it (and this goes for all the PS1 classics) on PSN just allows people who never played it, or who lost it or whatever to buy it for cheap (I dunno about 8, but buying a disc copy of 7 now is pretty hard to do. Before 7 came out on PSN, I saw it on Amazon for something like $100).

Nope. It has its weak points but it's a really good game. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like complicated battle systems though. The Junctioning can get really annoying if you like your combat to be simple. Drawing magic seemed like a bad design choice IMO. Other than that it's a really good game. You should try it if you have $10 :)

I saw a hard copy of ff7 greatest hits edition for 125 bucks. Also whats good about PSN ps1 games is that I can take them on the go with my psp. So it helps me when I want something cheap and fun to paly on my psp. Right now im playing RE2 and going to buy dino crisis soon. Thats one thing I wonder why nintendo ever did. To make thier wii VC games portable with a ds.

Why did they have to wait until I purchased a hardcopy? I may still download it so I can play it on my PSP without remote play.

Then don't try to keep them to 99. It makes the game too easy anyways.

Freak'in great news! :D This is one of the treasures of my childhood, my nostalgia gland is swelling with juices as we speak!! :P I'm not one for JRPG's anymore but I had actually hoped that when FF7 was announced for PSN, that maybe 8 would be thrown in after, and see how my faith has been rewarded! :)

Yeah, But I thought there could be some sort of confusion going on he said "games I already own" and "my old games", maybe some of those are Ps1 games and others are Ps2 titles,

.

Who honestly realized this and did it on their first play through?

Most people that say FF8 suck because of that are people that played it after reading a faq or hearing the secret of the system from someone else. There are very few people I have heard of, that managed to figure it out in the first play-through without external help. Personally it took me until around the end of disk three to figure that out because I was leveling up and still the game was too hard so I started to experiment until I figured it out. Since it was too hard I started drawing lots of magic and by luck I junctioned certain ones in their most efficient positions with the full 99, and then I was like :idea:. In my second play-throuhg I read a faq and all tricks like which magic is the most efficient in every stat.

By the way FF8 is my probably my favorite alongside FF6

I figured it out first play through. I got forced too when I reached the ship with all the respawning monsters. The game doesn't suck at all, its just too easy to beat once you learn the tricks.
