Welcome to my Final Fantasy VIII blind LP![/COLOR][/SIZE] [ATTACH align="right" alt="amarec20251201-231626.PNG"]132091[/ATTACH][/I][/B][/CENTER] [FONT=courier new]In this thread I will play through Final Fantasy VIII on the PSX for the first time, while posting occasional updates. I'm playing on original hardware on my trusty Xstation, so no save states and yeah, the footage is gonna look a little crusty. I've already played like 2 hours in so ill do my best to sum up the beginning (I spent most of it lost in the beginning area >_<)[/FONT] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" alt="plsnote.png"]132089[/ATTACH] [SIZE=7][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]Please don't Spoil me![/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] I'm alright with gameplay tips and story refreshers. But if you're going to mention anything that takes place throughout the game's story, make sure to [SPOILER="spoiler"][/SPOILER] it!

There's this guy I later learned was named [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Squall[/COLOR] (I'm using the default names) he likes this girl I guess, and he doesn't like this asshole guy (named [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Seifer[/COLOR]) who cuts him in the face. Cool intro but no clue what to make of it. Judging by how the logo consists of Squall and that girl hugging, I guess that's the main crux of this game, not sure how though.[/FONT] [ATTACH align="left" width="289px" alt="amarec20251202-001434.PNG"]132099[/ATTACH][FONT=courier new]Squall wakes up in what first seemed to be a hospital but later I learned was some type of school. The students are training for something called a SeeD exam. We'll learn later what's that for.[/FONT] [ATTACH align="left" width="176px" alt="amarec20251202-002103.PNG"]132100[/ATTACH][ATTACH align="left" width="178px" alt="amarec20251202-001256.PNG"]132098[/ATTACH] [RIGHT][/RIGHT] [FONT=courier new]So our first mission is to go to the [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][Fire Cave].
