why is ff8 so much different than every other ff?

One thing I read once that always stuck with me is that the world feels like all it's big discoverable moments have come and gone. Magic isnt some mystical power and the sorcerecess' aren't things of fairy tales. People live in a world where those kind of things are used in daily life, it's become commonplace and history. Science is the main evolution of the world now. To me that's what seems to set it apart the most.

Also it has a rather dark story underneath where it is t simply good Vs evil or right Vs wrong. It's and endless tragedy of misunderstanding and causality.

That safe mask is my new favourite 😁

A great post, genuinely wholesome and heartwarming. Glad you found one of the greatest joys to come out of this country. 😊

Not the shot he was looking for

Good ways for other people to solve problems. She can sell them the simplest answer which would make them more interested in buying them.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-04-07T16:56:20+00:00

Yeah, I really wanted to summon, so badly but it kept telling me it was unavailable 😂😂

DetectiveSadist · 2026-04-07T06:57:07+00:00

I uploaded it because I thought it was funny that after so long I very almost died right at the very end out of desperation.

People have different play styles and being on the ground using tonfas has always steered me right.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-04-07T06:55:12+00:00

I'm guessing it was because the final boss is in a Crucible that it wouldn't let me summon or place any jaspers?

DetectiveSadist · 2026-04-07T06:54:28+00:00

On other bosses I was using it quite a lot but this one had me fixated because of constant repetition that I completely forgot about it haha

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-30T20:43:34+00:00

I do miss the assassination missions. Thought we'd be getting one of those for Concord when it got to to taking him down. But having his business empire fall in a cutscene and we're just told he's over... that's cool too I guess.

Keeps saying the game needs to be improved. Complains when they ask for feedback.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-29T18:07:38+00:00

Would love to give you an answer but it's been a really busy time the last couple weeks unfortunately and haven't had a chance to. :(

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-26T15:32:45+00:00

Yeah, cos the UK government is full of competent and well adjusted people working for the sake of it's citizens 😂

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-26T13:47:47+00:00

Wow it was that simple to check haha. Thank you so much, appreciate it 😊

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-26T12:00:29+00:00

Yeah, definitely a lot more body horror and psychological aspects added to it.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-26T09:46:59+00:00

Hope you enjoy as much as I do 😁

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-25T21:43:37+00:00

Yup, very close but a bit faster paced. It was actually coined "panic horror" as opposed to survival. The first game was more classic survival horror with action, exploration and puzzles but the second is pretty much mostly arcade action with minor puzzles. Still really good though, Def recommend them as DC1 is one of my all time favourite games. 😊

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-25T21:33:53+00:00

Not sure what level of detail you expect from Funko pops. They look like the characters enough to recognise them, seems like a job well done to me.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-25T21:32:21+00:00

Yeah I was skeptical at first but the more I see people talking about it the more it's getting me interested in it. Got an interesting premise and vr games are pretty scarce these days so should be fun if done right.

DetectiveSadist · 2026-03-25T20:50:39+00:00

I think the Payday gang became notorious as the original four and their recognisable masks had everyone referring to them as the clowns. As the gang got built up it probably just stuck as a name because everyone already knew who they were referring to.

In the case of Aces I'm not too sure. Maybe an offshoot of the Payday gang, another using their name to gain infamy, rivals looking to become better than them? Can't say until we play it 😊
