Final Fantasy VIII (PS1) Playthrough - Disc I (No Commentary)
22Final Fantasy Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPO56tlewLYRJe-Q5MYFMmBq7ytICiLo5
This is the original PS1 version of Final Fantasy VIII.
I will be initially be including random encounters as I run through each area as the story requires. FFVIII gives you a way to remove random encounters entirely after Dollet without cheating and once it becomes available, I use it. The RNG system this game uses is really quite horrible and you will see some shenanigans during the Dollet section. It's easy to manipulate for various means but it was a huge pain to deal with for recording.
There are many, many scenes and individual instances where text will auto-advance.
Although this may serve as a decent video walkthrough, it has never been my intention to produce such a thing.
Gameplay notes
The beginning of the game features a number of tutorials. I skip some of them. It's a lot of repeated information.
During the second Dream, the actions I performed have consequences later on in the game.
