Nostalgia plays a big role when you decide to play this game again. While we are quite far from the oft-requested HD remake, some people would be satisfied to have slight improvements such as upscaled graphics and pristine sound quality.
But we are talking about Square Enix, so you can bet there is a catch. Prepare for some tradeoffs (or rather, sacrifices) if you’re willing to pay 12 gil, specially if you really want to play the same game from 1997.
For those who do not know, Final Fantasy VIII had a PC release back in the early millenium and now it’s back.
Famitsu reports the PC rerelease of Final Fantasy VIII will feature high resolution graphics and the Chocobo World Mini-RPG which was only accessible with the pocket station.
The game will be available for the PC in Japan this year. There is no announcement of a North American or European release.
Go beyond the break for a slight handful of screenshots.

Capcom put a video on it’s youtube page showing off the preorder bonus of combo moves for Remember Me. If you ever played Street Fighter then these combo’s seem familiar.

I think I should state that one o the pieces I sent in to the site for my interview was a rage filled review of Final Fantasy XIII. The game is terrible in all sense of the word and guess what? It’s now haunting me from it’s tower of money.
IF you own a copy of Final Fantasy XIII and still have that piece of paper that granted you an item in Final Fantasy XIV, that scrap of paper means you get priority placement in the phase 3 beta test of A Realm Reborn. Don’t have the scrap? Square Enix will find it for you if you registered Final Fantasy XIII to your Square Enix Account.
