In many Final Fantasy titles, and RPGs in general, the game begins with a foregone conclusion that the two leads will end up romantically involved at some point, and most of the time, they do. Final Fantasy VIII is, of course, no exception as it is actively centered around the theme of love and works to pair its protagonists Squall and Rinoa up almost instantly upon their first meeting. Where it does differ from other titles in the series, though, is in having Rinoa be the pursuer, rather than the pursued. In fact, when they first meet, she spies him from across the room, and walks directly up to him without a moment’s hesitation.
With hundreds of games, some of which are considered to be classics that hold up to this day, you’ve got the pick of the litter when it comes to choosing a potential remake
^This. THIS!
Stop remaking PS4 games!
Remake PS1 and PS2 games à la FF7R, RE1, Mafia, Half Life style ....
Make Legend of Dragoon, Legacy of Kain etc Remakes happen
and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. They did Star Ocean 1 & 2 R already, VPL should get the same treatment.
I'd be down for FF8, and Xenogears. But I would also be down for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. And I wish Namco would get off their ass and remake or remaster the Xenosaga trilogy.

Final Fantasy has a long running history with numerous numbered titles and spin-offs, but which games stand to benefit from a remake?
I'd rather the 13 trilogy just be ported tbh. No matter what you think if it, it shouldn't be the only numbered offline games not playable on new consoles. But naturally I'd play the **** out of 8-12 remakes.
BLG writes: "Final Fantasy bosses are swimming with challenging and exciting battles. Over the course of the series, the game has evolved from turn-based battles to more action-oriented gameplay. That has allowed players to see a variety of battles and types if you’ve played multiple entries across the decades. Bosses you see in more recent games like Final Fantasy 15 are grander in scale than those you might have seen on the Super Nintendo in the 1990s. That doesn’t always equate to them being more legendary, though. "
One of the reasons why for me FFVIII is one of the best in the series. It changes things up and does things differently.
While still a likable character, I don't see any of this. Rinoa was pretty much the standard damsel in distress female love interest.
Gender politics didn't really exist back then. No one cared.
Been seeing a lot of FFVIII related articles recently, and it is nice to see it back in the spotlight. One of my favourite RPGs, and it is essentially my first game that I have played ever since I started gaming.
