I just cannot get used to FF8 Remastered

[Blackened Halo]

Who came up with this "great" idea to remove Squall and replace him with some guy looking like a woman who is dressed like Squall?

Did Square mention why they replaced Squall?

This is just not Final Fantasy VIII anymore.

It's really not normal to replace the main character. They totally spoiled the game for me. :(

You know they used the Dissidia version of Squall so I'm not sure why you bothered creating this thread (except for you to have another venting session). What else did you expect SquareEnix to do? They weren't going to remake the models for a remaster. They would only put the time and effort into doing that if they were doing a proper remake. And since the old models are garbage they used the only other thing available which is why we're stuck with Dissidia Squall (until modders can change him).

What the hell are you talking about again? Final Fantasy VII Remake's characters are models for a remake, not these low-poly, low-mesh characters in Final Fantasy VIII Remaster which arent even on a par with PlayStation 2' Final Fantasy X.

They remade all the main characters from scratch you dumbass, so why do you only stick to Squall? Not only some characters but also some bosses and GFs. There is absolutely no reason why would they want to spare some time keeping Squall's face and hair from Dissidia. Yes, just face and hair of one characters, which an average artist in Square Enix is able to handle it in an hour. An hour means absolutely nothing since they have been working on the "remaster" for a few months.

Your excuse for their stupidity is even more stupid.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. If you're not, then you do know that Final Fantasy has had a long damn trend of girly emo boy heroes for a long time, right? Even Cloud.

Excuse me? You seriously need to stop insulting anyone who says something contrary to what you say. That's why your threads keep getting locked.

Why are Final Fantasy VII Remake character models in this argument? We were talking about Final Fantasy VIII Remastered which is (as the name says) a remaster, and not a remake. That means Final Fantasy VII Remake is not relevant to this conversation at all as it is a REMAKE and not a REMASTER.

You started a thread complaining about the way Squall looks. I explained (quite clearly) that Squall doesn't look like the 2013 version because they used the Dissidia character model (look it up) instead of creating a brand new high-res character model. I also said there is no way SquareEnix was going to create a brand new high-res character model for a simple remaster when they already had a Dissidia model. How on earth is what I just said offensive and deserving of name calling? Why are you being so disrespectful just because I'm not patting you on the head and telling you how smart and amazing you are with every post you make? Lose the childish behavior.

And Laguna looks more like a girl than Rinoa does now...

Dissidia Squall was their idea but their execution was poor. he doesn't look like Dissidia Squall or original Squall, in other words, he is simply not Squall. At least outside the combat, I am not sure why it is so much more noticeable there.

I do not understand why they just needed to ruin FF8's Squall ...I would mind if they changed some side character, like for example Cid, but the main hero of the whole game?!

Don't play Dissidia then because they even gave him half a dress to make him look that much more like a woman....
