    Arguably the best version of a already great game, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered updated visuals hit right in the nostalgia, showing the gameArguably the best version of a already great game, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered updated visuals hit right in the nostalgia, showing the game precisely as we fond remembered it from being, not actually as it was.

    The new perks are useful for people who have been playing this for the last 20 years, but if we play as it meant to be, it's gold.

    Although it has its flaws, with some rendering problems, showing old models sometimes, it has nothing to criticize. A huge amount of work has been done, problems like the long unstoppable tutorials are away. The songs hit hard in the nostalgia.

    It's impossible to not recommend to anyone who love or at least has interest in JRPG. nothing to be criticize
