    So much love to detail. So much atmosphere. So much nostalgia, i played CD 1 back then on PS1. I enjoyed it very much. Thankfully it has a 3x time speed feature, the GF summoning and the battle moves really stretch out the time after a while.

    One of my favourite games of all time, was really happy it finally came to PS4 after all these years. Love the Final Fantasy games and this one along with FF7 are two of the best in my opinion.

    Final Fantasy VIII remains as divisive as ever, but now fans have a way to decide for themselves without sourcing an older copy.

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered has done a great job of bringing a great game from the archive back into the forefront. On first impressions, you might not be wowed exactly by the remaster job, as some graphics look great and some still look like as they did on the PS1. But it has allowed this great Final Fantasy story to be played by both old and new fans of the series as well as allow inexperienced players a chance to just enjoy the ride.

    Final Fantasy VIII Remastered tries to relaunch a classic with a better performance but it ends in a worst result compared to the original one. Nevertheless, it is, still, a good JRPG game that deserves a try.
