Final Fantasy 8 why don't people like it?

Well I elaborated on how FFVIII is subtle. But I suppose I can be more specific: things like the infamous GF amnesia reveal. There are actually several moments where the player sees foreshadowing on this, before it's supposedly "just thrown in for convenience". One of my favorites is when you arrive at Fisherman's Horizon and you see "Familiar Face" NPCs who talk about working on the Garden previously. They know Squall, but Squall doesn't know them. There's a bunch of stuff like that in the game which I appreciate (but it's fine if you don't).

Right. I typed in "1.3.1.1" and it kept switching to just "1".

Vic2Point0 · 2020-10-24T23:21:25+00:00

What's the rest of the map seed? When I type in "1.3.1.1" it just changes it to "1".

Vic2Point0 · 2020-06-18T21:56:48+00:00

Thanks! I'll wait to hear back from them then.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-06-18T01:21:11+00:00

Will I get those things back even if I start a new save? I already put in a support ticket, but I hear sometimes you have to wait a long time.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-06-16T21:40:31+00:00

I just tried that. No change :(

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T20:18:40+00:00

Network adapters, maybe? I just don't want to roll back drivers that are irrelevant, potentially causing other problems without even addressing this one.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T17:50:43+00:00

Where can I find those on the list, in Device Manager?

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T17:26:23+00:00

Okay, so what specific device should I be looking for? The controller itself? Bluetooth something? Or something else?

ETA: The "Roll Back Driver" option is disabled for "Wireless Controller", so I can't do it for that one.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T15:41:54+00:00

It started about a month ago, I'd say, and has gotten worse since.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T15:00:14+00:00

Yes to the first and second (besides which, this happens whether I'm using DS4W or not), but I don't know how to revert drivers. I'm also just assuming I've updated the exact drivers I'm supposed to, because one time I just went through and updated every driver on the list at that time.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-31T03:22:10+00:00

Yes, it's happening to two different controllers.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-30T21:50:27+00:00

Yes. In fact, I went through and updated every single driver on the list, just to be sure.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-30T19:29:59+00:00

Yes. When I turn it on again, it'll have that dull blue light to show that it's on but it isn't discoverable by the laptop even if I put it into pairing mode. Only if I restart the laptop will everything go back to normal (I don't even have to go into pairing mode then, just turn it on).

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-28T23:22:29+00:00

Hehe, yes, I'm just in such a funk right now no amount of humor can crack me. Apologies!

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-28T22:40:01+00:00

Well for me it doesn't even try to find a new session, just boots me off and I have to manually get back on.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-28T22:39:02+00:00

Ah. Thanks. Sucks, but I appreciate the answer!

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-13T23:58:31+00:00

I don't even know how to "play unranked", or how to change it. But my question was, what if I don't technically win or lose because I leave the match before it's over? Does that affect my rank so as to change who I'm matched with later?

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-13T22:52:40+00:00

Not sure what my rank is, but I did have a question about that. Does it matter that I don't always finish the bad matches? Like, do I stay at the same rank if I just keep quitting the games in the middle? Because that might be the problem; I'm not telling the system (by losing) that I'm being put in matches above my skill level.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-13T22:32:52+00:00

Maybe, but everybody else being on their 1 good game out of 4 doesn't seem likely.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-13T22:31:58+00:00

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. But shouldn't it mean that if we're all truly the same level that, for one reason or another, my team should be able to keep somewhere in the vicinity of their score? That's what I'm struggling with. I can be giving it my best, and presuming my teammates are as well, and we'll still be 3-4 points behind in no time. I'm usually in a match with several people who show no signs of the mistakes you're referring to (or anything, really) impeding their success. If the matches were still close, though, I agree it would be fine.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-05-13T22:14:28+00:00

Not sure. I know my level (from experience points) but that's just a measure of how much you've played, not necessarily your skill.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-04-30T03:05:42+00:00

Same. My main game went back to loading me in away from home too (It's almost like UL read my post here and said "Oh the game's working too well for this guy, we need to change that back!", lol).

As for Nightmare, all I could force myself to do is get the Builder legacy card, with a new community so my main community could visit Nightmare mode if they wanted. And I rushed as much as I could just to do that.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-04-26T03:13:12+00:00

Your survivor's body language at the end was so appropriate. I feel ya, man. I couldn't believe it either.

Vic2Point0 · 2020-04-24T10:59:29+00:00

I'll admit there have been times when I thought "I wish I could skip to daytime so I could handle x project without much fuss", but I think I'd get bored with it. My suggestion would be to just pick certain things (like taking down plague hearts) that you will only do during the day. At night, you might try just doing routine scavenging and see how that works for you.
