Some players believe this game gave their life meaning again! ๐ The nostalgia is real, as one player reminisces about being 14 years old while climbing ladders and rescuing Rinoa in space. ๐ But alas, modern tech woe strikes as another user sadly notes the game won't start on their shiny new Pixel 7 Pro. ๐ฉ
Oh, the heartbreak of having an advanced phone but not being able to play FF7 or FF9 that you paid for! ๐ญ It's a tale as tragic as any Final Fantasy storyline. One reviewer even dreams of controller support and cross-save features between console versions like they're wishing upon a star (of destiny). โญ๏ธ
Despite these hiccups, many are enchanted by the game's spectacular soundtrack, claiming it might just be "the greatest video game soundtrack ever." ๐ต And kudos to Square Enix for creating a glitch-free mobile experience that runs smoother than butter on both ancient Android relics and newer devices... sometimes.
Gamers revel in memories from PS1 days, dreaming of quick saves during intense card duels without trekking back to save points every match. ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐จ Yet they lament: no way to mute the game means podcasts and audiobooks take a backseatโsuch drama! ๐ง
Meanwhile, some nostalgic gamers still cling tightly to their physical copies and PlayStation memory cards like precious artifacts from an era long past. ๐๐พ
Overall? An emotional rollercoaster full of legendary gameplay mixed with technical hurdles worthy of its own saga. โ๏ธ
"My life has meaning again"
"Love & Emotions With This Game"
"Great to be able to play this on android! The controls are superb and everything works as it should do. No lagging or crashing and this is on an older phone. Just wish I could play FF7 on the same phone!"
"Takes me back to being 14 yo! ๐ Completed FF8 without much trouble in this format. Took a few goes sometimes to get the party to eg. Climb ladders... and had difficulty with some of the forced tasks you need to do to advance through the game with the adapted controls (the worst of these was trying to rescue Rinoa in space!!) Now, I'm a bit disappointed my version of Android doesn't support VII or IX, as these were next on my list. Any plans to update them SE?"
"I DOWNLOADED THE GAME AND IT WONT START ON A PIXEL 7 PRO!"
"Best ff game of all time"
"This game played better for me on my old Android than on Steam 3 yrs ago during Covid. Game ran really smooth. The only issues I had was during the Garden battle when you had to punch that guy off the cable (touch) and with Google giving me credit for all my achievements. 25 yrs ago I started playing this game, earned almost every serious achievement imaginable except I never beat the final Weapon at Ultimecia's castle. Proud to say, 25 years later, I've finally beat that "Cant". Elated!"
"Best game ever"
"Please add controller support and cross save support between consoles Version as well"
"Arguably the oddest FF game in the whole series. Yes the Junction System is HORRIBLE but everything else is just SPECTACULAR. Including the soundtrack which just might be the greatest video game soundtrack ever. Glitch-free mobile experience. 9/10."
"This is my favorite game ever. I've played it so much as a kid. Now i can just play it for fun but it's so much fun i used to lo e the card duels you had to do and some of the fights are so awesome and granger lo e the game 10/10"
"I love to play FFVIII on console as well"
"Loved playing this on psone then again on PS2 with a psone mem card,got it on steam and now my google account,would appreciate a quick save function for playing triple triad instead of running back and forth to save point in between every match so I don't lose any more cards in balamb (or after for that matter) before I go to fire cavern for instance I heard a rumour but it's more than I can say with allocated letter numerical restriction"
"Game won't star to, won't load new game"
"ร nostรกlgico e ao mesmo tempo รฉ uma faรงanha tecnolรณgica divertida poder jogar FF VIII em um celular qualquer! Poderiam fazer o mesmo - e Bem Feito como fizeram aqui - com o Chrono Cross do PlayStation 1."
"There's no way to mute the game, so I can't listen to my music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc."
"Beautiful Memories."
"So it's unfortunate that they don't fix the bugs they are aware of. I suppose they are unable to or it is not worth their time. Regardless, the game functions adequately. I am playing it on Beam Pro w/ XREAL Air 2 Pro w/ Gulikit KK2. I could emulate the original or even obtain the apk for this, but that would be a hassle. This downloaded and installed in one minute. It claims that saves are uploaded to the cloud. If this feature functions properly, it adds value and justifies the cost."
"Im sorry this isnt about 8 i love 8 and i have almost all ff on mobile but why cant i play 7 and 9 that i paid for when they were released just because i have a more advanced phone. Thats crazy. But i can play ff origins"
"Best game ever...Still have the 4 cd set...and my playstation memory card with my saved games..."
