Announcements and site development / Re: Where'd everyone go? Discord.

« on: 2025-02-09 18:16:00 »

For me, I stand vehemently against Discord, and boycott it. I believe that the mass on-boarding of "everyone" onto Discord, will be the greatest mistake humanity might ever make!
Same with trusting stuff like Musk's Twitter or Zuckerberg's Facebook. Why trust this stuff? Why do we ALL gotta obsessively go there, herded like sheep?

And we know it's not under our control, in terms of the computer servers. It'll just lure us all there, and then shut down like AIM or MSN - Even IRC still exists! It's decentralized.
But corporately owned stuff seems to just disappear - Except to herd us to their next money-making flytrap. Again and again; must we be so naive unto perpetuity?

I'm sticking here at the Qhimm forums. Anyone on Discord - they're on some other website. I don't know them!

Wow.

I finished FFVIII and it was fantastic with your mod.

I have to admit that I'm happy I used it. I was watching my GF play through the rest of the game, and whew.
It's just... not as good as yours. So thanks for the amazing experience. I'll never forget it.

I always felt that Quistis is more of a friend who wants to be a *good friend* to Squall.

She doesn't want to just be a teacher; she wants to really connect with him, and be trusted by him.
It's not a matter of romance, even if she's the sort of girl who might play a frisky game of truth-or-dare with him under better circumstances.
I figure that she just wants a person who's smart and competent enough to be her friend.

She's surrounded by those Trepe groupies who are infatuated with her, right? But that doesn't satisfy her. She wants a REAL friend who's on her level.
Not someone who looks up to her, but someone who is her equal. Not as a lover necessarily, even if that'd make her happy too, but she's fine to just be friends with a person who "gets it."

Like Squall. Squall with his skill, and his dark, isolated personality means that he doesn't just obsess over her like her fanatics do. Instead, he's a challenge, and she feels like she's winning when she can guess what he'll say next. But isn't she always rejected, even just as a friend?

I think her struggle isn't one of romance. It's that she just wants to be his friend, someone to talk to, but he keeps rejecting her both on personal terms, and he doesn't even need her advice either.

But she won't give up!

I had been keeping a small tally of grammar issues... but then they sorta became too common and I lost count. Heheh. Sorry. =p

But to be honest, after watching some gameplay of the original, I have to admit that outside the grammar issues, your dialog is so REAL and TRUE. It's simply beautiful! I love your version, and when comparing it to the original, your version SHINES with true feeling!

Like while meeting Edea in the Orphanage at the beginning of disk 3, the way you wrote Squall's anger is SO DAMN REAL, and so powerful. I was SHOCKED to see that same scene play out in the original: It was so underwhelming.

Gosh, I'm LOVING your mod. But I swear, the only thing that's keeping it from truly replacing the original are some grammar issues. These grammar mistakes really are quite common to be honest, so I've stopped keeping track. But either way, I'm really appreciating and enjoying your mod. it is making my first playthrough MEANINGFUL.

And I'm learning more about you too. The way you write is powerful and engaging. It's refreshing and glorious.

I'm loving this so far!
As my first play through, I feel like the plot is making sense.
But.... THERE ARE A LOT OF GRAMMAR ISSUES! =p

"Your" is not "you're."

Thank you Percival!

You're about to give me the most enchanting experiencing.
My first playthrough of this game is with YOUR script, so for the rest of my life, your version will be the one that shines.
I hope you've done well.

Hey Percival, I hope your FINAL version of this mod pops up soon!!
My girlfriend is playing through FFVIII for her first time, and I caught the bug too, so now I wanna play!
But because I've been looking over her shoulder this whole time, I figure I should go and play YOUR version instead, so I have a unique experience. Will it be out soon?
I'd love to start as soon as possible, and complete a full playthough with your mod. Can't wait!!! =D
