Was he alpha or beta?
>>340780254
Antisocial is more of an omega type.
>>340780472
alpha
>Extremely powerful
>Renzokuken
>Lionheart
>Doesn't need friends or a bitch to suck his dick and get the job done
>Get's the job done at whatever cost
>Will put himself in harms way to protect other people and people he has no connections to
>Fucks the girl at the end
>Doesn't whine like a bitch to everyone. Does it in his head.
Beta
>Is a semi-cuck
alpha as fuck
>>340780254
He wants to be beta but everyone won't let him.
>>340780472
yeah maybe in england not america that's the joke
>>340780254
pretty alpha, but even he couldn't resist Rinoa, AKA A FUCKING SORCERESS', mind control. Daily reminder that FF8 has an off-screen bad ending, Rinoa was the true villain and she won
>>340780254
Alpha
>Irvine bitches out on taking the shot (His one job)
>Squall jumps off a building
>steals a fucking car
>Drives through a warzone
>almost kills Edea on the spot himself
>start boss battle
>>340780254
Bro made 95% of vidya characters look like pussies.
He somehow manages to be a beta alpha.
>>340782441
Sasuga, Squall-senpai
he was a tool
anyone who calls Squall a beta emo is a faggot who never paid attention to the game
Either way he was a shit character.
>>340785274
>>340784079
fags
shit taste detected
>>340785705
Maybe you should get someone else to hold the detector.
alpha: you are confident and your own man. you do your own thing and have complete confidence in everything you do. you have your self doubts, but you don't let it cloud your judgment and logic. you are well liked by almost everyone, and you just have an easy charm and swagger about your presence. women are drawn to your charisma and presence. you enjoy being social and having lots of people around. you are a natural leader
beta: you are kind of shy and introverted and not very confident in yourself. you are constantly plagued by insecurities and self-doubts and you can never commit to anything in the fear that you will fail in it. you are somewhat liked by people but they tend to look at you rather condescendingly and woman tend to friendzone you. you are nervous around other people and social situations because you're always afraid that people are judging you. you are a born follower
omega: you are the polar opposite of the alpha male, but in a good way. like the alpha male you are confident, intelligent and have a sense of charisma about you, but unlike the alpha male, you are completely your own person. you do not need anyone, and you can even be emotionally distant due to your complete self-possession. you trust few people and foster even fewer intimate relationships. omegas do not care for leadership by others as they are perfectly capable of leading themselves

Was he alpha or beta?
>>340785890
gamma male: you are sort of the "invisible" guy. there is nothing really spectacular about you. you are not a beta, but neither are you an alpha. your personality and presence usually blends in with the rest of the room and you're just sort of...there. people like you just fine and you usually don't have too much trouble with girls, but all the same, there is nothing particularly memorable or remarkable about you. you are not a born leader nor a inherent follower, although you can take on those tasks depending on the situation
sigma male: you are a manipulative mastermind. you are a spider waiting to lay your trap. you possess a cunning, intuitive mind and can sway people to your will. you don't have the casual swagger of the alpha or the omega but you do have a clever presence about you and people tend to be both wary and respect you for that. you can often be even more powerful than the alpha or the omega male in social situations due to your ability to persuade and manipulate them. you are neither a follower or a leader but rather a wild card
>>340780254
Neither. He was a bitch.
>>340785890
>>340785996
So Squall is the Omega male in the beginning, but the alpha male in the end??
>>340786141
That almost sounds like character devel...oh wait
>>340786235
the naysayers, kikes, and ff7 fanboys will deny this and say cloud was a multi faceted character with depth and ingenuity.
>>340782026
>>340786464
I don't like Cloud but that doesn't stop FF8's cast from sucking dick outside like two characters.
>>340786478
OH SHIII-
>>340786478
>>340782026
Someone redpill me on this, please.
>>340787109
Bro do you really want to get into this? FF8 theory discussion is strictly REDPILL only.
can you handle it?
I've never played any FF game and I really don't like JRPGs overall, but I enjoyed chrono trigger. FF8's story seems interesting enough, should I bother playing it or should I just read the summary of it?
>>340787674
Play it, the character growth system is quite unlike traditional JRPGs so you might get a kick out of it
>>340787674
It's the most redpilled final fantasy and the only one worth playing.
>>340787978
How big is the time investment?
>>340788040
On what exactly will the game redpill me about?
>>340787674
Don't let the negative experience push you away from other FF games.
>>340788203
Don't exactly remember how long the story is, about 30~40 hours i guess?
Grinding is completely unnecessary as long as you play your cards rightHehehe, cards
>>340788203
Huge. A perfect playthrough with lionheart and Save the queen on disc1 and all collected cards and 99 of every item and 100 of every spell takes about 99 hours.
If you skip all that then not bad. 30 hours.
I recommend the perfect playthrough because the game is super COMFY.
>>340788203
repill you about video game soundtracks since it probably has the best video game soundtrack of all time where all 90 of the tracks are 10/10

>>340787674
Do you like soap opera plots, anon?
>>340780254
he was an omega that was pushed into being an alpha
>>340787671
Yes lad, lay it on me. I knew that Squall is dead theory was bullshit, I'm ready for a real fan theory.
>>340789295
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbmJosFyG6k
>>340787109
There's a lot of branching theories, but there's evidence like his ring being called griever, which Ultimecia uses, and different ways of interpreting the cinematics
>>340782441
You can make the same case for every single named FF protagonist though.
>>340789653
First off. to be a true final fantasy 8 fan you must know a few things.
Did you know?
>During the flashback with Laguna filming the move with the ruby dragon, he holds his gunblade incorrectly since he forgot how to use it. Laguna is acting as a knight of a sorceress and her protector
>Seifer talks about his "romantic dream" in which he wants to become the knight of a sorceress
>Seifer's romantic dream stems from the film Laguna made which makes Seifer a tragic hero throughout the game
>Seifer even holds his gunblade incorrectly like his hero in the movie which formed his romantic dream
>You then realize that Rinoa is a Sorceress and Squall becomes the knight of Rinoa near the end of the game, fulfilling the same role that Seifer was panned for the entire game
>Seifers hero is Squall's dad

>>340788594
VERY recently did the Lionheart disc 1 and all cards playthrough. Super fun. I just love breaking the hell out of the game and then playing cards while the world is ending.
>>340790620
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvV7IUNra3k
>>340780254
Naturally Alpha, but Beta at heart.
>>340790794
Time to get fucking COMFY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYisFOaz1s
Was it ever really explained why Laguna abandoned Squall at the orphanage?
>>340790794
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mOMQ_S3OCc
>>340790996
He got stuck into the Esthar business and sent Ellone back to Raine. Raine had Squall. Raine died without Laguna even knowing it for a very long time. Ellone and Squall were sent to the orphanage.
>>340790203
Pictured here.
Also, Seifer's clothing becomes more ragged the further you get into the game, to show that he's losing it.
>>340790996
My theory is that Edea and Cid told him Squall had a destiny murdering a sorceress. Squall told Edea in the past that he is going to do it so taking all the kids to SEED school was Edeas and Cids plan to stop the future sorceress.
>>340791162
>mfw Laguna's son banged the daughter of his love interest, whom he could never get
FF8 is my favorite game of all time
>>340791265
dafuq? What scene is that Seifer fighting Cerberus from?
>>340791408
What kind of cuckery is this?
Also Squall didn't even ask Rinoa's dickhead father for permission he just fucks her anyway.
>>340791162
>Ellone
Jesus, I had forgotten all about that character. I need to replay this game.
>>340791265
>to show that he's losing it
Nah. His shit becomes ragged because Nomura thinks it's cool.
>>340780254
He was a lion.
Maybe.
>it took /v/ 30 years to recognize FFVIII as the deep masterpiece it is
we have another MGS2 in our hands

>He got stuck into the Esthar business
How long did the Esthar civil war last anyways? And for how long was Laguna its president? I feel like he's been one after the revolution.
>>340791776
>It took /v/ 10 years to get over Spoony's review
>>340780254
Couldn't be more alpha
FF8 bros.. do you think we'll ever get a FF8 remake? Would you even want it? I'd embrace it if they kept, without changes,Triple Triad and the Battle/Junction system
Reminder that Lightning has the same personality of Squall and the same facial structure as Cloud.
>>340792308
No way they'd remake it without streamlining the junction system.
>>340791965
Spoony had some good points. But Spoony also obsessed over stupid shit that didn't matter.
>>340792336
Not really. Lightning is more hot headed/loose cop. Squall is a merc acting like a hero.
>>340792258
He can't let ZellBro down
>>340792308
I actually liked the Junction system. Who doesn't like Triple Triad? Its never forced on you
>>340792308
I'd be okay with any changes as long as the same atmosphere is still there
>>340792308
Fuck no. Everyone relevant left Square. The only guy left there is obsessed with gay ass shit. And it's not like FF8 didn't have a garbage story anyways and if you played the original jap one, it's fucking horrible because of Rinoa.
>>340792308
>you will never visit Balamb Garden in glorious, true HD graphics
>you will never land on Dollet Beach in glorious, true HD graphics
>you will never experience an expanded Battle of the Gardens in glorious, true HD graphics
It hurts...god damn, why does FF8 have so many great moments? Brb reinstalling
>>340791912
16 years or something like that if I remember
>>340792745
>>you will never visit Balamb Garden in glorious, true HD graphics
Well there's World of Final Fantasy
>>340792745
Dude. I can't imagine a remake of FF8. It would be too grand. Too perfect. Too amazing.
Imagine an ENTIRE game based on disc 1. A fleshed out 60 hour game just focusing on Balamb garden
fuuuuuuuuuck
>>340792767
>16 years stuck in civil war
>rest of the world still can't catch up to its technology
Ancient aliens, man.
>>340792336
Lightning's response to people talking to her is yelling at them, punching them or killing them. Squall usually just shows silent disdain.
>>340792983
They were all one empire 80 years ago. Galbadia continent was just some shithole that never got all the good toys while Esthar was the colony that got all the cool toys. The capital of the empire got lunar mooned so it isnt around anymore.
>>340793137
A FF8 remake can really expand upon Hyne and the Centra too.
There's so much they could do with it, yet they are remaking FF7.... what the fuck..
>Dissidia
>Everyone has a weakness they need to overcome to reach their crystals, Cloud has doubts, Onion Knight is a coward, Tidus has daddy issues and so on
>Squall however has none of that shit and is a total bro who's heading alone to enemy headquarters so he can soft the load on his comrades
>He's so based that even Warrior of Light, Final Fantasy encarnate, respected and learned something from him
Dissidia's story may be shit but i love it because of this
>>340793294
FF7 is Square's money printing machine. I half expected them to use it a decade ago when the merger with Enix wasn't working out so great for them.
>>340793346
I don't quite remember that being the gist of his character in FF8, but hey, at least he's no Terra.
>>340793294
Im suprised they had the self control to not have Hyne be the final boss of ff8. Though i guess the sorcereress could be Hynes soul trying to have his revenge on humanity again.
tech demo
Force your Way > Premonition > Legendary Beast Man with the machinegun > Slideshow part 2 > The Landing > Don't be afraid > The extreme > Maybe I'm a lion
>>340793559
They could do so much with a FF8 remake it's unthinkable.
>>340780254
alpha as fuck unlike the little bitch cloud
>>340794963
I feel bad for the people who missed out on these custscenes by sending Rinoa to the missile silo. But the Rinoa/Squall reunion is pretty good too
>>340780757
>is a semi-cuck
Rinoa was Seifer's girlfriend that he stole. If anything, he cucked his rival.
>>340795193
>Always walks around with Squall, Zell and Irvine
>>340788594
this is what i loved
like on disk 2 you got the fucking boat and you could go almost EVERYWHERE
heck i was lvl 99 on almost everyone on that same diskits actually cuz i couldnt find the fucking boat for like 200 hours kek, and internet in a eastern europe was a nogo in early 2000s
I know everyone complained about the drawn-out GF and limit break animations, but personally I love them. Some of the most exciting I've ever seen.
>>340795319
People say there isn't much development between Squall and Rinoa because they didn't have her in the party. I played multiple playthroughs where I had different people in my party. Zell and Irvine are totally bro tier though
>>340795415
Got Ultima weapon webm?
That one is the best.
>>340795519
nothing tops giant cactuar actually
>>340796503
Evrolet is really good too.
fuck that. they are all epic
How should I play this game, PC or emulate ps1?
>>340797068
buy a ps1 and buy the game at your local used game store
its on PSN too for PS3
He's alpha but in a weird way that accentuates his high level autism. Dude has eighth grade syndrome in the best fucking way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYxtnmY6Arw
only someone who is alpha in completely every way conceivable can have an attack as epic as this
>>340795415
HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE
Is Renzokuken different on different enemies?
>>340795193
>Not bringing Zell and Quistis
It's their garden too, it's only right that they should be given the chance to save it.
IIRC you also get a scene at Fisherman's Horizon when the party reunites in which Rinoa asks Squall if he missed her or something along those lines.
>>340798117
Renzokuken is different for ALL bosses in the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEiJEWHDcog
>>340798295
How in the fuck did I never know this... I love FF8 too...
>>340798463
https://youtu.be/q1C9WTuNPPE?t=2m30s
2:30 is the best one in the game
>>340791965
Spoony was pretty much right in most of what he said.
But I think more people realized that they like the game regardless of its flaws.
>>340799583
spoony is a complete faggot who doesn't know how to have fun at all
