НАЙСКЛАДНІШИЙ БОС в ігровій історії! (FF8 на PS1 українською) Я зумів пройти Final Fantasy 8 для PlayStation 1 і цим відео підсумовую цю епічну подію. Розповім про те, наскільки складним був останній бос (Ultimecia) та до чого варто бути готовим гравцям, які лише планують ознайомитися із FF8. Особливо важливо ознайомитися тим українським ґеймерам, які ніколи не грали у японські рольові ігри (JRPG) або грають лише у RPG. Це важливо, адже 8 частина Фінальної фантазії значно відрізняється від інших проєктів цього жанру та звичних Вам ретро ігор в цілому.

Squall's greatest fear is losing Rinoa

During the ending FMV, when Squall is trapped in Time Compression, he starts hallucinating. He tries to focus on Rinoa and their memories together (mainly their first meeting) to return to the present time, the flower field at Edea's house, and fulfill his promise to her. However, the images of Rinoa — and, notably, only of her — become increasingly blurry and distorted, and occasionally she'll even disappear for a few seconds. At the end of it all, he sees a clear vision of her dying in space, with her helmet shattering. This vision completely and utterly breaks him, to the point where he starts crying and collapses.

The very thought of Rinoa leaving Squall or, worse, dying, causes him to actually cry and completely lose his will to live. By the second half of the game, she's not just his love interest; she's also his Living Emotional Crutch. That's how damn important she is to him.

Like I said in my previous post, never doubt, for a second, just how deeply in love Squall is with Rinoa, for him to have such a strong reaction to a hallucination of her dying. (Although, considering how he reacted when she was in a coma in Disc 3, this actually isn't all that surprising. Still, if he reacts that strongly over a hallucination, just imagine how badly he'd react if she really did leave him, either of her own volition or by dying...)

P.S. — Special shout-out to @squinoas because one of their posts inspired me to write this!

P.P.S. — This is the very first time I've ever created a GIF! (Over 6 years after I first created this account... oh well, better late than never!)

P.P.P.S. — I'm posting this on Final Fantasy VIII's 25th anniversary! That's right, FF8 was originally released in Japan 25 years ago today! 2/11/1999 — 2/11/2024
