I loved FF8. To this day aside from Heavensward and Shadowbringers it remains my favorite FF game. Sure you could break the game pretty easily with the item conversion and junction system to make it a complete cakewalk, but it was fun having that kind of flexibility and power.
Maybe I just have shit taste, or maybe this game is only So Bad It's Good for some people. But I love the hell out of it, and am happy to finally have a proper western release. If it doesn't click for Mr. Brown here, well then that's unfortunate for him. But I urg anyone interested to at least give the game a shot. Much like EDF, you'll love it, or hate it. But you won't know until you try.
Also this little line, "and because there aren't many nations or cultures that are fit to be mocked with such gusto" in its presentation is pretty much ultra tacky as it doesn't just insult presumably simply the current shite administration, but every American as a whole. After all this American culture you seem keen on indiscriminately shotgunning is the same one that's been fighting for equality for decades, even at the expense of beating on its other half. But then again maybe like most pundits the notion that America is more than just far right stereotypes is beyond you.
Man the poor fanboyism in the comments here is both incredible and kinda pathetic really. Of course I've always just bought each console anyway so I never cared which 'team" was "winning'.
