This is by far the best FF8 version ever

[Checkmate]

I'm happy to say that this version was exactly what I was looking for: to revive the atmosphere of the game I played when I was seventeen years old with my PSX, with a graphic improvement adjusted to the modern era:

- I find the 4:3 aspect coherent with the original game, as we were all playing on different TV back in the days. In fact, stretching the aspect ratio looks horrible, and I have to say that I didn't even notice the black bands;

- The new character models are very well made. If you look at Squall's gunblade, you can see for example that the revolver it's in 3D, instead of being textured like the original -> https://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/xlarge/public/article_images/2019/06/ffviii-comparison-2.jpg?itok=XqZiRip0

- The backgrounds looks better than the old pixelated version. Since I was looking to revive the original atmosphere, there is nothing better for me than the original backgrounds, made by the guys who created the game;

- The fonts are similar to the original version, unlikely to the previous modded version, and this adds to the original atmosphere of the old game;

- The cheat system is very helpful for people like me that are not teenagers anymore and cannot spend too much playing videogames, and it helps enjoying the amazing story once again;

- Chocobo world was really crappy and I'm glad I don't have to play that ♥♥♥♥ again, while I can use Angelo in game to find the same items. If you are not Japanese, you have never had a Pocketstation back in the days, and I don't understand how people cry for not being able to play with a tamagotchi in 2019;

- 20 Euros today worth a pizza, and I'm happy to pay a pizza to the company who created the original masterpiece. If you complain because it's not free or you didn't get a discount when you possess the 2013 version, you are just an over-emotional and easy offended person, with an inflated sense of uniqueness. Companies needs to pay salaries and bills, and yes, they work for profits, they don't do it for charity. So, instead of spending weeks wasting your time on a forum hoping to change things, keep playing the 2013 version, or work one or two hours in your life and earn 20 bucks. And if you have to fight, fight for real issues and worthy causes: you will be on your path to become a responsible adult - hurray!

- Even if I hate social justice warriors and modern millennial ethics, I don't care if Siren wears a skirt or if Rinoa tied one more button on her shirt, as I don't play games to get aroused, and if you do, you might consider to get a life and find a woman.

I have both versions of FF8 here on Steam, and funny enough, I've bought the 2013 version exactly one year ago, the 3rd of September 2018. I spent a couple of days trying to install all the mods, and at the end of the day I played it only 3 hours: I wasn't so rapt. Yesterday, instead, I played for 5 hours non-stop. This version is entertaining me exactly like the original version did 20 years ago.

So thank you to the guys who made this happen, and I hope one day to play a real remake of this masterpiece!

Way to contradict yourself. Everyone is free to not like it unless they leave a negative review then they need to be deleted.

No, those that return it, should have their review removed. As they lost the right to review it when they returned it.

Before you argue this, lets say SE changes the game, and fixes what people returned it for. Would they then go back and update their negative review? No, because they no longer own it.

Doesn't matter you still want to censor those peoples opinion.

Again, their opinion stops being valid if/when they return said game. If they keep it and actually adjust their reviews accordingly, then no issue.

That isnt silencing anyone, that is holding people to a standard.

I dont even own a copy of this release, so technically, even my opinion on these matters is invalid, because I havent bought it, so I have no right to claim either side. I should remain neutral in most matters to be honest.

You don't look very smart to me. The fact that you are free to have your opinion, doesn't really mean that you don't have to stick to the rules of the platform. There are people that bought the game just to leave the review and apply for the refund. Those review will be deleted, as per Steam's policy. You are not even good as a troll. Try harder.

I'm not the one resorting to petty insults. And no those reviews won't get deleted. Before you call someone dumb you might want to look into what you are talking about before spewing incorrect claims.

Tell me why it's a problem to see what is in a game you have already and then seeing what was added/cut then having an opinion about the changes? Where did their opinion hurt you, sweetie?

You can still play the game, regardless of another's opinion, right? Stop getting so salty.
