Ok, call me stubid but....
« on: 2004-05-03 21:15:01 »
Ok, maybe I'm a complete moron, but I got somethin of a problem. Recently I got FF8 for the PC, I'd only played it on PS before. But I've played it a good bit lately, and I've found somethin of a problem. There's no option to exit the game! In FF7 it was conviently placed in the menu right below the Save option, but it's not there in FF8. So far I've been Ctrl+Alt+Del-ing to the task manager and closing it that way, but that gets old, plus its not exactly the best way to close running programs, but it's all I can do right now. If anyone knows anything, if there's a Quit option somewhere, if there's a button combination to press, or if there just isn't a Quit option, please tell me. I just want to know if I'm just confused or if I'm a moron of if anyone else has run into this. Thanks much in advance.

Alt+F4 (the standard Windows "close this Window" keyboard shortcut)
I think the instruction manual says to use Alt+X or something, but I've always used Alt+F4.

I remember having that problem when I first played the FF8 demo. It's pretty damn bad when a game doesn't even have an option to exit. It's like, you're either stuck playing this Demo for ever or you restart your computer. That drove me insane.

Yeah, I think if you do Alt-Q, you'll get a Yes/No box come out...but Alt-F4 is quicker and does the same thing.


edit:
Maybe it was Ctrl-Q.

Well, at any rate, at least I know I'm not a total moron, other people ran into that. I don't have the manual for the game, never did, I got it second-hand, didn't buy it new, so I've never seen the manual. I figured if I asked then someone would tell me, thanks everyone.
