square enix are retarded. FF7 doesn't even need a remake. If anything needs a remake it's FF8. The game had potential to be one of the best games of all time but it only had a few fatal flaws.
Bring back Nobuo and remake FF8 and they have my money. Not paying for that ff7 shit though
What flaws? Was the gameplay really that much worse than any other game in the series?
>>338106708
No. The game was perfect if you got past the fact that enemies level with you.
Think of it as a difficulty gauge. The more you level the more difficult the game gets
I personally think it's the best FF in the series. It certainly has the best soundtrack

FF8 is already perfect, i don't need a remake.
Also best airship.
ff8 is great
>>338105946
People love remakes of good stuff though; ironically or not, they'll still buy it.
Not enough people liked VIII to recoup the costs of doing a remake.It's in my Top 3 FFs though

>>338109579
that doesn't suprise me since the majority of /v/ are butthurt ff7 nutthuggers
>>338109693
the people that hate ff8 the most are the ff7 and ff9 fans for some reason.
>>338109763
>ff7
logically so, they were nu-FF fans expecting a sequel starring Cloud and Tifa
>ff9
9fags have no taste and are literally furfags who muck up FF threads for everyone
>>338109763
FF7 has the worst story, the worst characters, and the worst atmosphere, , the seconf worst protagonist, but it does have some redeeming soundtracks
>>338105946
FF8 was critically panned and normies didn't like it either. I love both FF7 and 8 almost equally (okay maybe FF7 a little more because Zell and Selphie weren't in it), but FF7 had way more normies appeal. Also it looks way, WAY worse than any other FF game. Like, god damn it aged so poorly graphically.
>>338110080
lol
I think FF8 aged worse than FF7 did. I played them both on Steam recently and the chibi blocky characters of 7 don't bother me as much as the models of 8.
>>338110080
Its kinda strange why VII had so much more normie appeal despite it being wayyy more anime-ish. I suppose it was just a different time for pop culture
>>338110272
DELETE THIS
>>338105946
FF8 is literally a FF7 remake with flaws added.
>>338110272
Let me rephrase, everyone (normies), including critics, today know FFVIII as the "bad FF meme" game. So it would be monumentally harder to sell a remake of FFVIII than FFVII. Square only cares about money now, man, especially with a remake, they have to go for the "sure thing". VI would have a better chance of getting the next remake slot than VIII.
>>338110383
>FF8 aged worse than FF7
said no one ever
>>338110383
I think it depends on what you value out of graphics. For me, the world in VII looks amazing despite the mucked up character models, whereas VIII's world's colors seem a bit drab but the models are reminiscent-of/a-precursor-to older PSP games and have a lot of detail.
>>338106708
due to the levelscaling you had to either draw a lot to gain stats or play an unfair card game to get cards to turn into items.
really annoying.
Not to mention a shitty love story
>>338110695
>not loving triple triad
This is /v/
>>338110574
I didn't know Quistis was jewish
>>338110785
Why do think Squall rejected her?
>>338110495
FF8 has potential in a remake.
FF7 has zero potential in a remake. Completely fucking pointless, they are just trying to cash in on the sperglord ff7 fanbase
>>338110383
You're fucking retarded. FFVII looks like ass except for the battle models and the pre-rendered background.
>>338106708
Nah, but you could easily break the junction system if you wanted to. I wouldn't consider that a flaw though, no one's going to accidentally break it and become OP 3 hours into the game. It has to be pretty intentional.
>>338110495
I'm not convinced you've played VII or VIII.
>>338110770
it's really hard to get into a minigame where everyone is OP as hell and has that one card that fucks you over.
It's like they know what you have and you don't know what they have
>>338110785
>>338110919
Well the late 90s was a time when anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim propaganda was slipped into games. I can think of OoT as an example off the top of my head.
>>338111120
The game wouldn't be fun if it was fucking easy you autist. I assume you think tetra master was a good game since it WAS completely random?
>>338111120
My autism won't allow me to get over Seifer calling someone other than Zell "chicken-wuss". It would be a charming comic, if not for that.
Didn't they add Triple Triad to FFXIV? Was it any good?
>>338111230
found it to be more playable than 8's game because you could actually GET cards without having to win against a cheater
>>338111396
Sounds like you were phenomenally bad at Triple Triad. I mean, like, Down Syndrome bad. It wasn't that hard to build up a decent deck and start learning how the AI thinks to fuck them out of good cards.

>>338111775
I see your epic moment and raise you a chill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYisFOaz1s
>>338111924
because they would play that one card that turns the entire game around in their favor and cause me to lose the match
>>338111758
Other NPCs had shit cards too. You had to play against people with slightly better cards than you, and build up from there. Its not our fault, or the game's fault, that you decided you wanted to take on pros instead of the beginner NPCs.
Before you complain even further, there is no reason you shouldn't have been able to find easy NPCs before running out of cards.
>>338112181
there is no way to tell who is an easy NPC and who is a pro. Plus >>338112127
>>338112079
>Walking Rinoa across that bridge all alone after Squall finally understands what he lost
>That scene where Ultimecia takes over Rinoa and she releases Adel
some scenes in this game are so fucking good....... man.
>>338105946
They'd have to rewrite the story to not be completely fucking retarded to the point where it would be completely different.
>>338112347
The storyline is fine save for minor some things that need to be fixed
>Master of the Garden gone into more depth
>Orphanage background gone into more depth
etc. It's not really plot points that need to be changed it's plot points that need to be expound upon.
>>338112274
>Walking Rinoa across that bridge all alone after Squall finally understands what he lost
that was a badly written scene because it's the embodiment of the shitty romance story that has fuck all for development with the worst girl
>>338105946
They are remaking Final Fantasy VIII.
The remake's called Final Fantasy XV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzIsbgDt5oM
If they fixed the Draw mechanic so I didn't spend half the fucking game clicking between a couple menu options stalling all progression because I don't want to gimp myself when I could obviously have better stats, then yeah, I'd like a FF8 remake.
Anyway, if we're talking about Final Fantasy games around 7 that deserve a full blown remake more, why not 6? Turn it into 3D and you have a lot more liberty to be creative with extra details without gaining the wrath of the fanboys, and introduce a fan favorite game to many casual players who aren't willing to play a 2D RPG anymore.

>>338105946
I don't think I can replay this knowing that Rinoa is going to win the Squallbowl. They need to do SOMETHING about the romance to make it less horrid - it was poorly handled.
>>338112474
The game clearly took inspiration from FF8 but it's still not FF8. Honestly if this game releases well and FF7 the same, they will greenlight a FF8 remake.
>>338112246
Yes there is. You play them once and see what type of cards they have. If they have some tough cards, they are pros. If they have shitty cards, they are easy to beat. Pros are rarer, thus you shouldn't be running into them non-stop before reaching the easy NPCs.
>>338112127
This isn't a problem until you start having the cards to lose. Once you reach that point, you are supposed to start learning from your mistakes. The only reason you find the game "unfair" is because you aren't getting better at the game. Triple triad is a completely fair game unless you start getting into shit like Random rules.
>>338112660
It is a bit odd in some areas but that supports the Squall death theory. Squall is basically a cuckold for Rinoa/Seifer for half of the game until Rinoa randomly latches onto Squall after her rescues her.
I mean it makes sense really. If Squall rescued me I would give him a handy and maybe a blow or two.
Squalls side was handled well though.
>>338112454
>Master of the Garden gone into more depthI'd also like him not to be some yellow Jabba the hut looking so of a bitch
Or at least have that foreshadowed
>>338112671
>>338112474
FFXV looks so damn good man. It looks like a happy game, if that makes sense.
XIII Versus looked like it took itself too seriously. Could you imagine an ambient version of the Prelude like this one in Versus?
I also think SE can do a better FF8 remake than FF7.
>>338112894
Also Squall being stabbed in the chest at the end of disc 1 needs to be expanded upon. I like it ambiguous though because I'm a supporter of the Squall death theory.
It thoroughly explains why some things are just so damn weird and I like that.
>>338105946
Probably not soon, but eventually. We will revisit their glory when square wants all our money.
>>338112475
You know there are way easier ways to draw, right?
>>338112803
>is because you aren't getting better at the game.
What part of "I keep on losing because the opponent plays one card that completely fucks me over" ARE YOU NOT GETTING?
>>338112475
>turn it into 3D
>without gaining the wrath of the fanboys
Um, pick one or the other anon. The 2D artstyle is beloved by the fans. No matter how good it looks, any 2D game made into 3D would gain instant wrath.
>>338113031
>Modern Era
How awful
>>338113226
There are ways to counter it. If you really suck that bad then change the rules......
>>338113226
The part where with skill you can completely block this from happening. How do you think so many people can play the game without losing if its supposedly stacked against you? This isn't a luck based card game, so skill will determine if you win or lose. With enough skill, you can win against pros with shitty cards.
>>338113226
Stop being bad then. If you such do bad at it, look up a guide or a video of someone playing well. Don't blame the game for you sucking. Plenty of people managed to play it with no problem, there's never been a call for a patch IR an adjustment to the difficulty or anything, so it's you. Yes, you, not the game.
>>338112809
It always seemed awkward to me when she goes into her coma.
From the beginning until that moment, Squall had a no nonsense attitude to her and was overly critical about her actions. I was fine with the progress he was making with her as he became somewhat less of a jerk to her. However, when the coma hits he starts doing a Shakespearian monologue. Even considering Squall's backstory, that's a bit of a stretch to make him feel that much about Rinoa.
Then again, my memory is fuzzy and I might be underestimating how much he actually warmed up to her.
>>338105946
I never did like FFVIII, and honestly I don't think I ever will love it. Mostly because I hate card games. But the characters were cool. The music was fantastic. The story of the first two disks (Which I never played past) was very good. The setting was fun. But the fact that the card game is so far integrated into the battle system really got me. Hell, I didn't even mind that the enemies leveled with me, because with the right junctions they were piss easy anyway. But, man, do I hate card games. FFVIII fans, I'm sorry. VIII isn't a bad game. In fact, it's a very good game. A good game I will never like.
>>338113489
>such do
suck so*
Thanks autocorrect.
>>338113589
No, it makes sense really. You don't remember Squalls freak out about death earlier in the game? He's scared of dying. He's also scared of others dying. He's scared of memories and becoming a memory.
So when Rinoa is put on the brink of death that's when something finally triggers in his head to wake up. It makes sense really. He was attached to her, but he never realized it until he lost her.
That happens very often in real life. I had a similar experience with my girlfriend of four years. I loved her but I never knew how much I truly loved her until she left me.
>>338113307
Maybe I just didn't look pay much attention, but I saw nothing but praise back when Nintendo was releasing 3D ports of FF3-5 on the DS. The DS FF4 is almost the definitive version because of the difficulty.
But yeah, you're right. There'd definitely be people butt hurt about losing the 2D art, but I can't see that being anything other than a vocal minority, with emphasis on the minority.
>>338113643
I don't remember there being any super necessary items from Triple Triad. Being able to refine cards definitely helped cutting corners on grinding but it was by no means necessary.
>>338113364
The only good thing that has come from the Final Fantasy series in years: him
>>338113643
Triple Triad grows on you bro. Also it's a requirement for only autists and die hard perfectionists like me who want 100 of every item and legendary max stats and gear before exiting balamb garden at 100 hour time clock.
>>338113589
Seifer's "death" spooks him a little because everyone at the Galbadian garden is reminiscing about Seifer and Rinoa is taking it really hard (because they dated when she was 15-16 and he was 16-17 the previous year).
"Is this how they're gonna remember me?"
Him falling in love with Rinoa is out of left field a little bit (he was annoyed by her happy-go-luckyness at the SeeD exam party but warmed to her getting him out of his cold shell) but the signs that he falls for her are there over the course of a playthough. I'm playing through right now for the Steam achievements and running with Enc-None for Contrived Finish definitely shows the story isn't as nonsense as some folks believe.
>>338113810
I'm pretty sure he's baiting, I got the lion heart without playing the card game.
>>338113406
except you can't change the basic rule of "if the opponent has more cards, they win". They play one card and BAM, I they flip 2 cards causing me to lose.
>>338113486
>How do you think so many people can play the game without losing if its supposedly stacked against you?
they are determined to get that useless Card command to work
>>338113489
I would get gud if the game let me
and on a side note, FUCK TH NEW LEGACY CAPTCHA
>>338113841
That quest line should be the baseline for XIV. Game takes itself and its story way too seriously. Like god damn, lighten the fuck up for an expansion or two.
>>338113031
Yeah fuck that... There are 3 eras in FF. The first era would be 2D graphics, so they actually have that one correct. The second era would be a switch to 3D graphics while still keeping a lot the same. The third era would be a departure from major things that were present in all the games like the overworld map. The fourth era would be the departure from the core genre.
That means VII, VIII, and IX are the second era. X through XIII are the third era. XV marks the start of the forth era.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54r8t_5ayto
>that fucking soundtrack
yeah i'm playing ff8 again tomorrow. lionheart before deling city here we go.
>>338113841
The only thing I miss from XIV is that I don't get to do anymore of his questline.
I don't think FF8 can be fixed completely. A re-translation will fix some things like all the whatevers that were never there but can't fix the mess of the end plot without redoing the whole thing. I don't see a way to fix drawing magic either.
At least we can all agree the best moment of FFVIII was when you entered the fight with Seifer after unlocking Odin.
Shit was amazing.
>>338113643
Except you don't *NEED* to play the Card Game. AFAIK you can get all the items needed to upgrade the Gunblade and other weapons WITHOUT doing the minigame. It only becomes available later, but even then you don't NEED to upgrade your weapons. Using your limits (which ties into magazines and learning Blue Magic for like 4 of the 6 party members) is more effective (especially if you abuse Zell's 2 button combos in quick succession) or just spamming GF's as needed helps.
Hell you can never level up again if you go for Diablos and Enc-None and blow through the game at (relatively) low level and just spam Limits to instantly end the battle because the entire world is around your level. There is NO need to do the Card Game ever if you don't want.
>>338113964
>they are determined to get that useless Card command to work
I've never used the card command. I've always found it too annoying to use. I've collected all the cards purely through the card game. Also, I played it on release so I didn't have the benefit of guides to tell me what to do like all you new fags. The card game can have some difficult moments, but it is never anything but fair.

Obviously they are only listing games with numbers in it.
>>338113964
Even mediocre cards can beat stacked decks. This is where rules like plus, which allows you to take greater cards, and combo, which turns the opponents cards against them, come into play.

Tactics isn't there either. Not a mainline entry.

Honestly it wasn't a modern squenix problem. It is a modern gaming problem. Much like other companies, they saw how well mobile devices were doing, and thought a new generation of consoles were going to fall flat on their asses. PS4 pretty much saved us from having to go 100% mobile. FFVIIRe was going to be a mobile game, so they had to reverse some decisions on it since PS4 was a worthy platform. Episodic is just a remnant from when the game was going to be made for the mobile crowd.
I doubt any newer games would be episodic, unless they start predicting the downfall of consoles again. People are hoping for a gaming crash so that PCs can reign supreme, but at this point a gaming crash will just move games over to mobiles thus making gaming complete shit. PC will suffer from a gaming crash just like consoles.

>>338115524
>>338105946
They would have to make it an entirely new game from scratch to make it not complete shit. Nobody cares about FF8 besides some nostalgiatards unable to let go of their childhood memories, thus it wouldn't sell anywhere near as much as a FF7 remake.
>>338106708
Gameplay was broken as shit, almost as bad as FF2.
Not a single character was remotely likable. Main character was a mopey asshole with cliche as fuck character development, and everyone else was an annoying retard with one personality trait and no depth.
Story lacked focus and had too many ideas and concepts thrown in without bothering to expand on them properly.
Pretty much the only two things it had going for it were the soundtrack and Triple Triad.

Is this reaction because you disbelieve me or because of Squenix? If you don't believe me, look up some interviews with them. I'm actually quoting what they said themselves, not some rumor spread around on /v/.
The Japanese market is very heavily moving towards mobiles, and the Wii U was a laugh, so companies in the Japanese market expected consoles to crash and burn. Everyone besides Japan is helping to keep games from completely moving to mobiles. JRPGs may not be a casual market, but Japanese consumers are the biggest casuals in the world.
>>338116942
Didn't they just deny that plausibility because the entire motive for Ultimecia was extending her lifespan forever and that would mean Rinoa being Ultimecia would be impossible because that would mean she would have an extended lifespan anyway?

If FFVII remake is a massive success, I can see them taking another stab at FFVIII to try to clear up that mess and possibly retcon what did and didn't work.
>>338116745
Yes Sephiroth was a faggot crazed mama's boy and in all honestly I believe Hojo would have been a better final boss then fucking Sephiroth.
But that doesn't make the other characters complete shit. Tifa was incredibly human for a character that looked like she should be in a pinup mag. Cloud was one of the few MC back in the day to be legitimately fucked upstairs. It was also one of the first games to have a major character actually die and stay dead.
You want an actual shitty FF with crap storylines and shitty MC's? Try 12. No one but the pirate and the bunny chick were even bearable.

I, too, say this. >>338110770 looks absolutely disfigured and very hard to make out at times. Is it one art style versus four? Certainly, but that doesn't matter. It looks absolutely awful.I'm extremely biased though. I hated it since day two. The art design is bad, because Final Fantasy shouldn't be realistic.

I legitimately do not understand how 12 could be considered the best FF by any stretch of the imagination. Everything was just so bland and forgettable, the bunny chick had less personality and plot relevance than Tifa.

>>338117773
It's not hard to try and kill yourself when you don't have a sense of self to begin with.
I think FF8 would've been better if it didn't get translated the way it did. Everyone lost a bit of characterization, especially Squall.

>>338113226
>BACK THE FUCK OFF?!?!
>>338117548
Not him, but that's not the worst sin with FFXII. Not even close.
The worst was what a massive waste Ivalice was. All that variety,all those crazy beast races, and you give us an all human cast save for a viera. No moogles, no bangaa, no nothing. Just a bunch of boring fucking humans. Not even interesting ones.
Where the FUCK was my moogle juggler character, Square? Why would you make Ivalice the setting and not allow moogle juggler dickery? Fucking beyond unacceptable.
>>338118049
Laziness, if everyone is human we can reuse animations for all the weapon types.
>>338118030
The entire story arc of Squall is that he's a little bitch crying over his sister leaving him ten years later. But then he learns to stop being a faggot and use the power of friendship.
>>338118186
More like the power of getting his dick wet
>>338118049
Blame Matsuno. He wanted Basch to be the main character and for a deeper/older character study. I doubt it would've had Fran if Square didn't step in and force him to have Vaan as a party member.

>Squall is afraid of getting close to people and having to deal with their inevitable departure
>Zidane, who tends to hide pain behind a sunny disposition, is told he is a harbinger of death and goes full edgelord for all but a moment, even pushing his friends aside
All FF MCs have their fair share of problems and eventually hit the bottom. If you want someone who's fun and likable, pick Bartz.
>>338118690
Zidane for the most part knows when to cut loose, and even in times of danger he always trying to keep everyone's morales up. Squall, on the other hand, is literally "no fun allowed" all day every day. Even fucking Cloud had SOME comic relief to him.
>>338118367
FF8 had a lot of potential, Laguna's story was actually my favorite parts of FF8. From the character himself, and the music, it just has a better tone I felt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jho-peCAKs
What was his problem?
>>338118690
Zidane got moody for all of literally five minutes and then was a-okay again after his friends told him to stop being an edgelord.
>>338118571
I was just comparing 7 and 8. As for 4, the normal airship theme wasn't that grand imo, but the Lunar Whale theme - now THAT'S a good theme. I don't know if I would rate it higher than the Highwind's but damn if it isn't high tier.

>>338118886
That's called CHARACTER. he stays in character. He's not all over the place like some poorly written retard like cloud. Cloud goes from edge lord to comic relief to completely autistic mindfuck in less than five minutes.

Even Butz gets furious at his lowest point instead of his usual carefree attitude.

He was brought back last major patch, and 3.3 should be coming around soon.
>>338118637
>Lightning is the most popular female protagonist of the series
She's the ONLY female protagonist of the series.
You could make the case for what's her face in FF6, but that's debatable.
>>338119093
Squall is just Cloud without the comic relief.
>>338119335
Yes but squall has a reason for that. His childhood had taught him to distance himself and not form relationships because he's afraid to break them. Cloud is just like that to be edgy cool fake weirdo and live in a fantasy world as some super soldier but he's a skinny beta phaggot.
>>338119301
Even female characters in general though. Final Fantasy females have gotten up there (Tifa, Aerith, Yuna and even Terra and Celes). Lightning basically overthrew all of them in an upset.
>>338119301
But FF6 had a female protag no matter what, it was rather Terra or Celes. It's also not really debatable since dissidia basically answered that question.
>>338119479
So Squall's reason for doing that is because he's a crybaby faggot who uses his sister leaving him as an excuse to be an edgelord cunt to everyone around him?
This picture will trigger the 7 mommy boys.
>>338119335
No he isn't.
>>338105946
8 is my favorite Final Fantasy. The main character, the setting, the music, the story, all good. I loved fiddling around with the game mechanics and using Lion Heart to destroy enemies if I got it. I nearly died on the final stage of the last boss and I had to Lion Heart her like 10 times. I never got to beat the secret boss in the castle unfortunately. But I literally completed the game 99%, I was just missing one of Laguna's things you collect and I was so pissed.
Hell yeah it deserves a fucking remake way more. /best mini-game.

I love when you people type like this, it just shows how much of an actual omega you are in real life.

He went out of his way to treat everyone around him like shit, especially Quistis. You couldn't even shake hands with the guy like a normal person. By your logic, Cloud wasn't an edgelord either.
>He grew out of that through character progression.
So did Cloud, but you still shit on him for that while giving a free pass to Squall.

Loool what? Cloud was a total dickhead even until the end. He didn't even bother trying to bring sephiroth back to the light. He just omnislashed him to death and killed him outright with no words and all he had to say is "it's over". What a fucking fwggotphaggot
>>338120361
>He didn't even bother trying to bring sephiroth back to the light. He just omnislashed him to death and killed him outright with no words and all he had to say is "it's over".
Why would he? Sephiroth was already too far gone, you think if Cloud asked him really nicely to stop doing bad things Sephiroth would have listened to him? Just because he didn't go full moralfag doesn't make him a total dickhead.
>What a fucking fwggotphaggot
So you're underage too, even better.
>>338120542
Sephiroth was out of his mind. He wasn't even too far gone. He's just a mommys boy looking for a pair of teets to suckle.
Is it bad I'm excited for FFXV? I actually feel a bit hyped. Yeah, the boy band thing kinda sucks, but open world, it looks beautifully detailed, and the chocobo stuff looks super fun.I hope the marriage turns out to be a sham an you can romance a selection of people from the game, including your boy band. That snob with the glasses gives me a boner.
>>338120660
Sounds pretty far gone to me. Definitely sounds like he wouldn't have listened to reason.

Nope, not a projection, you're simply put a natural born loser who types likes a 4chan bot.
Nothing here made any sense. You still used the word "edgelord" as a fucking grown man. Talk right you fucking moron.
>he went out of his way
No he didn't. If people talked to him personally, he would act introvertedly due to how he was brought up; his personality. In any other normal circumstances such as asking for help, he would help the person such as teaching where to go in the school.
>by your logic blah edge!
If you keep this up I'm just going to end up getting last word. It's infuriating having to talk down to people like you instead of having an intelligent argument. Cloud is outgoing and social, unlike Squall was in the beginning of his game. Did you even fucking play the games you stupid fucking piece of shit? Cloud is sure of himself, acts like a dick sometimes.
>So did Cloud, but you still shit on him for that while giving a free pass to Squall.

I love that the manchild who used the word "phaggot" is telling other people to grow up.
>No he didn't. If people talked to him personally, he would act introvertedly due to how he was brought up; his personality.
He only acted introvertedly because his sister left him. All the other orphans turned out fine.
>In any other normal circumstances such as asking for help, he would help the person such as teaching where to go in the school.
And yet when Quistis needed emotional support he told her to go talk to a wall. Why couldn't he help her then? Why did he need to outright be an asshole to her?
>If you keep this up I'm just going to end up getting last word. It's infuriating having to talk down to people like you instead of having an intelligent argument.
Your "intelligent argument" consists of going through mental gymnastics to defend Squall acting like a mopey prick while shitting on Cloud for the same reasons.
>Cloud is outgoing and social
>Cloud is sure of himself
Oh my god this is hilarious, you don't have the slightest clue about Cloud's character and yet you're still trying to shit on him.
>Did you even fucking play the games you stupid fucking piece of shit?
Yes I have, it's clear you haven't. Hence why you're throwing a temper tantrum like the infantile manchild you are.
>I never said shit about any of that, you're either mixing me up with the wrong person or just plain fucking dumb.
You're defending Squall saying he "grew out of it" yet even though Cloud does to you're shitting on him for being a beta "phaggot"

She was an instructor who was pretty much stalking her student, acting like a teenage fangirl around him, and lured him out to a known dating spot in a transparent attempt to get into his pants. Her behavior was not only pathetic and extremely unprofessional, but it also went against regulations. He was an asshole to her because otherwise she just wouldn't get a hint and would keep clinging to him, getting her hopes up all the while.
>>338106840
The level scaling is nothing. The main drawback to the game is that the junction system makes you not want to ever cast a spell. On top of that, its severely broken, using triple triad you can pretty much max out every stat on your party by midgame and hang at 1hp with hero elixers or holy waters or whatever and do endless limit breaks. Its not even that hard or autismal to do
>>338121852
Not him, but Tifa didn't give a shit about Cloud for most of her life. They barely knew each other until Midgar.
>>338122117
>She was an instructor who was pretty much stalking her student, acting like a teenage fangirl around him,
She was barely a year older than he was.
>Her behavior was not only pathetic and extremely unprofessional, but it also went against regulations. He was an asshole to her because otherwise she just wouldn't get a hint and would keep clinging to him, getting her hopes up all the while.
Maybe this is true but he didn't need to be an outright prick to her telling he to "go talk to wall" or ignoring her. Simply telling her that he wasn't interested in a relationship with his teacher would have been enough.
