I'm here to talk about FFVIII and what a great game it is. Who is your favorite character? What pair(s) do you ship? What would be your reaction to a remake?

i’m so sorry i haven’t replied to this earlier!!!! i went on holiday and totally forgot to reply to everything i’ve been sent in like the last month lmaoanyways - hi!! nice to meet you fellow viii friend, thank you sooo much for asking me this because all i ever wanna do is talk about final fantasy and you’re totally right, viii is a great game and not enough people give it a chance!

myyy fav character is rinoa (does my url give it away?) in fact i’ve wanted to be rinoa since i started watching my brother play viii which was when i was about six years old. i’m still certain that one day i’ll wake up as her okay but seriously there are so many people who hate her for no good reason like yea, she needs saving a few times but that’s why i love her so much… not everyone’s a superhero, she’s so REAL and honestly i wish i had the same outlook on life as she does, she’s so positive and omg i could go on about her forever, she’s my angel

of course i ship squinoa, the original otp, the otp to end all otps, the one true otp. it’s not just about rinoa helping squall to let people in, not many people realise that squall helps rinoa too, he shows her the reality of war and helps her to keep her feet on the ground - they balance each other out and i love that so much

laguna x raine - i mean… they’re so perfect, why does square have to make us suffer??? 

the most important ship.. zell x hotdogs **MEANT 2 BE**

apart from that, i don’t have any other ships tbh. the idea of quistis x seifer intrigues me and selphie looks cute in irvine’s cowboy hat so there’s that… tbh this leads into my feelings about a remake because i would personally love to see these characters more. the story is very much about squinoa and i feel like we don’t really get much of a chance to explore the other characters and their stories and thoughts and feelings. don’t get me wrong, there are things like selphie’s past in trabia and how they all were together in the orphanage but i want more dammit!! i’d love if they did episodes for each of the characters like they’ve done with ffxv, i’m just greedy and want as much viii as i can get! on the other hand, i’m afraid that a remake would ruin viii, sometimes things are just best left alone and a remake may take away from the good old nostalgia. i would love to see squall in glorious hd tho… i’m very much on the fence about a remake i’m sorry i can’t give you a definitive answer lmao

what about you anon? you can ramble at me about viii all you like, i will never get bored ^^

Leaves url and cat treats.

my opinion on;

character in general: Zell is a fun character. I can see why he could pass as annoying in the game but his antics made me smile. He is also quite serious when he needs to be.how they play them: Mun plays him quite well. Whilst I don’t personally ship Seifer x Zell, I think they write their relationship with him quite accurately as if the two were actually together.the mun: I haven’t had much interaction with the mun, but they seem like a lovely person.

do i;

follow them: Of courserp with them: Occasionallywant to rp with them: If the Dickbutt fiend comes back or if Dios needs to perform the Heimlich Maneuver after he’s eaten way too many hotdogs, I’m up for some funsies. ship their character with mine: Nah, Dios doesn’t have any intimate interest in Zell, she sees him more as a friend.

what is my;

overall opinion: @ahmyhotdog is a quality RPer. If you wish to follow a great Zell, please do so now!

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty.

Time Compression goes all screwy (well, screwier) and drops a character from VIII into the XV world of Eos and after they go back to the VIII world, the opposite happens for a brief moment before time fully corrects itself. What is the first things out of the displaced characters' mouths?

Firstly I just wanna apologise for the extremely late reply to this! It’s a really great question that made me think a lot, so thank you ^^ I hope I’ve read it in the correct way, I’m so sorry if I’ve misunderstood it! I couldn’t think of what character from each ff I’d like to write about so instead I’m gonna give you most of the main characters from each game. I’ve thought about different stories and interactions that these characters would have and because I also couldn’t decide on what location to use in both worlds, I’ve switched up time compression a lil’ bit so that when each character travels to their opposing world, they end up in a location in that world that relates to their personality. I hope that makes sense lmao. Okay, so here goes. VIII → XVSquall: naturally ends up in one of the most gloomiest places on Eos, the Vesperpool. It’s dark and damp and after looking around for a minute, he realises what’s happened he’s used to it by now. Squall’s first words is (you guessed it) “…Whatever.” Most likely, he’s shrugging off the feeling of being alone. He sees blue sky in the distance and starts heading in that direction because he knows that’s where he’ll find Rinoa.Rinoa: finds herself in beautiful Galdin Quay on the sand watching the waves. She’d be scared if it wasn’t for the tranquil scenery, it feels just like home. Her gaze wanders and lands on the back of a guy dressed in all black who appears to be fishing. “Squall..?” It’s more of an inaudible question to herself rather than getting ‘Squall’s’ attention.Selphie: Wiz’s chocobo post (where else?) Doesn’t hesitate for a second. Squeals at the sight of so many cute animals and immediately starts customising her very own chocobo. “You’re even cuter than the ones back home! AND YOU COME IN PINK!!!”Zell: is the first one to interact with someone from this world. He’s at a campfire and across from him, Gladio is sat eating some cup noodles. “WHERE ARE THE HOTDOGS?!” Of course hotdogs are the first thing on Zell’s mind no matter where he is in time or space. Gladio invites Zell to sit down and the pair have a pleasant conversation, discussing the worlds they’re from, the different books they like and who their friends are. Zell even compliments Gladio on his tattoos but the chat suddenly turns sour when Zell has a taste of cup noodles and spits them out yelling “UGH, GROSS!” Quistis: feels tiny as she stands before the Rock of Ravatogh. The first words to escape her mouth are “well this puts the Fire Cavern to shame” as she starts heading up the mountain. Nothing like a bit of adventure in a foreign world during time compression when you’re waiting to be sent back home, right?Irvine: ends up in the Weaverwilds (to him it’s the middle of no where). A blonde-haired guy is fighting some sabertusks and Irvine helps out by shooting them down from afar. Prompto runs over and thanks him. Irvine tips his hat, “Nice guns you got there. Hey, uh, any hot women around these parts?” Prompto looks confused but nevertheless shows Irvine photos of Cindy and Aranea before the two start an in-depth conversation about guns and women. Irvine also lets Prompto wear his cowboy hat for a while and Prompto takes many selfies.Laguna: wakes up in a bed at the Leville Hotel in Lestallum. “Raine?! Ellone?!” Confusion overtakes him for a while as the hotel room looks so familiar, almost like Raine’s bedroom. When he walks out of the hotel, he realises he’s trapped in time compression and sighs, holding on to the thought of Raine still being alive. He takes a deep breath and takes pleasure in how similar Lestallum looks to Winhill with its narrow paths and flower shops. With a feeling of nostalgia, Laguna walks to the market to buy some things that he can take back with him to give to Ellone. Seifer: fishing at the Forgotten Pool. It’s peaceful until “TURN THE ROD TOWARDS THE FISH!”Seifer turns around to see Ignis staring at him, arms crossed. He holds his head in his hands and mutters to himself, “I can’t believe I managed to find someone more annoying than chicken-wuss. I actually miss that little shit.” He tries to return to his fishing, it lasts a couple of minutes before Seifer gets so annoyed, he threatens Ignis with his gunblade. A fight is about to ensue when Ravus appears out of no-where. He and Seifer start arguing about whose coat is better whilst Ignis quietly disappears. XV → VIIINoctis: Ultimecia’s Castle. Noct is completely freaked BEFORE he sees Ultimecia so when she appears on the stairs he muffles a scream and hides hoping she didn’t see him. He hears her leave the room but continues to tense up in hiding. He whispers aloud, “If anyone is listening, please dear Six, I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this but please please PLEASE send me back to Ardyn.”Prompto: finds himself flying on board the Ragnarok with Selphie in the driver’s seat. “Oh my god, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE REGALIA!” Starts taking photos without a second thought. Selphie teaches Prompto how to fly the Ragnarok and they swap every now and then with one flying and the other jumping up and down and yelling “WHOO-HOO!” Gladio: admiring Balamb Garden’s library. Spends ages looking through all of the collections. He finally settles on what looks like a good read when he sees a familiar looking blonde spiky haired kid in the corner of his eye. “HEY! CUP NOODLES ARE THE ULTIMATE FLAVOUR EXPERIENCE!!” Gladio then gives Zell a lecture on why cup noodles are better than hotdogs for the next few hours.Ignis: also ends up in Garden but in the cafeteria. He smells something delicious and the cafeteria lady gives him a plate with two hotdogs on. Ignis takes a bite and- “THAT’S IT! I’VE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPEH!” Everyone in the room looks at him like he has three heads and Ignis suddenly feels extremely out of place and starts longing for his friends.Luna: Trabia Garden in the aftermath of the missile attack. At first she’s worried about where she is and why she’s ended up here but as soon as she sees there are people hurt and in pain, those thoughts are forgotten as she immediately proceeds to help the injured. Her first words are “I need some cloth to make bandages, STAT!” or some other statement that involves more professional medical terminology lmao.Aranea: appears to be in Galbadia, sitting on Edea/Ultimecia’s throne. “That’s it, I’m staying.” Aranea’s first words are before bossing Seifer around like a servant, getting him to fetch her cocktails and kneel on all fours before her so he can be her footstool. Cindy: in Dollet by the car that was crushed by X-ATM092. She’s almost heartbroken by the sight of it and knocks on the door closest to the car. When a couple answer it, Cindy’s first words escape her. “This might sound weird to y’all but… can I fix y’alls car?” Cindy has the door slammed in her face but doesn’t let it phase her. She proceeds to fix the car anyway and even gives it an upgrade.Bonus → XV chocobros after time compression stops and everyone is back home.At camp, Ignis is cooking dinner. Noctis and Prompto are salivating already. Gladio returns to camp a little later after doing a couple of more hunts and breathes in the aroma. “Mmm, Iggy, whatcha cookin’?” Ignis stares down at his grill and Noctis and Prompto look at each other with worried expressions. “Umm…” Ignis mumbles. Gladio walks over to Ignis and sees eight hot dogs on the grill. He frowns at Ignis and refuses to speak to him for the rest of the night. Safe to say, Gladio is extremely unimpressed.
