General Discussion / FFVIII: PC or PS1? Strategy?

« on: 2024-04-10 05:59:36 »

Embarking on a journey to revisit a beloved classic, I find myself torn between platforms: PC or PS1? While the PC offers tantalizing prospects of modding for enhanced visuals and sound, the PS1 provides the nostalgia of CRT displays. As I deliberate, another quandary arises: can Final Fantasy VIII be played organically, preserving its challenge without succumbing to overleveling? Unlike its predecessor, where leveling is natural, VIII demands strategic finesse, especially with its drawing system. How can one strike the delicate balance between enjoying the game's mechanics and preserving its difficulty? Perhaps focusing on junction abilities and limits while embracing a more selective approach to drawing magic could offer a satisfying solution. Any insights or recommendations are eagerly welcomed as I prepare to embark on this adventure anew.
