It's Final Fantasy day here today, the latest piece of news concerning Square Enix's flagship franchise coming in the form of a PlayStation Store re-release.

In an email sent out to PlayStation email subscribers, Sony announce in the "coming soon" section that Final Fantasy VIII will be turning up on the PlayStation Store.

This is good because I lost the third disc (prolly was stolen) to my physical copy and I started playing the PS Final Fantasies over since my PS2 finally croaked with all my data inside the HD.

Was wondering when this would come along.

[Towowo]

FFIX or bust. My PS2 refuses to to play past Disc 1 for some reason.

[Minions]

Finally, I can send corwen's FF8 discs back now. My disc 2 or 3 would freeze when you fight on Balamb garden against the troops that attack. I'd fly out the emergency door, and when it went to load part of that fight, it would freeze

for $10? got me^^

[kyosak]

I love this game.

[Gekii]

I love this game.

agreed, buying!

[Diamicles]

If I had a ps3 I'd buy it, actually was one of my fav FF games

If you have a PSP you can play it on that instead.


At any rate, I still have working discs here, so I'll be sticking to that. Got tired of the game at the point of no return near the end of disc 3. Was grinding all the playing cards from the Queen, and lost interest at the point of needing 3 unique cards from her.
(chasing her around the world and losing cards to get new ones got old quickly)

I wonder if the emulation suffers the same problem my discs do, where the battle-mode screen transition is all buggered.

[Kurp]

This was the only FF that I never finished. I'd buy and play it now if I had some spare game time.

[dejet]

I do wish IX would come out... I never played it and I am not going to go and buy it from E bay or anything like that >.>

[Ketna]

FFVIII finally, I never understood the negativity this game gets. Other then Squall being a whiny bitch, its a great game, and much better then the oddly praised IX :/

[Erza]

great game and the EU version doesn't work with the PS3 backwards compatibility, will be buying

[Null]

I never made it far in FFIX. I'm a huge proponent of completionism, and that jump rope game got me every time. FFVIII is awesome news though, great game.

Yes, I love to 100% games but that jump rope game has wasted so many days of my life. That said though, the game is amazing and deserves a playthrough. If anything you can download a file offline with the jumprope beat. Since its right at the start you won't miss anything.

[Kuya]

Definitely buying; i never played the game.

[Eggroll]

Picking this up as well, lost my FFVIII disk so it was the only final fantasy game I never got to replay, since I'm not a big fan of playing RPG games on an emulator.

[Katlan]

loved FFVIII, any news on it being a polished or direct port?

[Null]

Most likely a port but my god a polish would be like a wet dream.

A polish would be amaaaaaaaaaaazing. Can't wait for this either way.
