Should there be a re-make of ff8 or maybe a moive like ff7?

[Truthmaker]

Should there i know it wasn't as popular as ff7 but still it was still a good game. Give me your thoughts on this. Thxs

[Shadow Clone]

maybe if squall was like a teacher or somthing teaching some new seeD students or somthing maybe. and sifer should be in it. but as for a story im dont have any ideas.

[Truthmaker]

Yeh i was thinking along the lines of maybe just showing what happned after you see that video at the end showing what happended to everyone if they went there different ways or stayed together. That would be cool but i have no ideas haha but i think it would be cool if they did something

[Allen Walker]

Its fine the way it is mk.

[Truthmaker]

i guess so but it would be nice to see something. I'm just a big fan of 8 so it would be cool to them do the same thing as they did to ff7.

[Whiplash]

I'd prefer a remake provided it were done properly. I am struggling to think of any possible storylines based on anything already in the game (none of that making new stuff up and pretending it was always there crap) beyond further exploring Laguna's story or maybe some random game where you have a party of SeeDs and go on missions. I like where the game ended so I don't want them to try and expand on that in a movie.

[OHH~EMM~GEE]

I don't know about a movie for 8 like AC but I do want a remake of it with voice actors and better graphics....:D

[Thimien]

i wouldnt mind a remake.. allways open to a replay of FF8, i liked it alot. But no no to a movie.

Same here. Actually playing as a SeeD group would be pretty neat, but they would probably make it for JP Mobile Phones just to piss us off. But yeah, if they were to make anything related to FF8 it should be a spin-off, a remake or a prequel. A sequel just.... wouldn't work >.<

[Sephirothjr]

I would like to see a remake see how it would look on the ps3

[Kichi]

It would be cool to see a remake, but I don't know if I trust them to make just a remake, without them changing things all up and ruining the story.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

How about nay.

VIII actually had a decent and proper closure. And it should stay that.

I'm just, a little irritable about creating yet another wankfest.

[Son of Dunecat]

It would be nice if they did make a movie.However sometimes it's best to leave great games alone instead of making $hitty game movies just to make money.

I would support it..if it stayed close to the story as possible.

It would be great to see a remake on the PS3.Yet I could imagine it happening for FF7 and not for eight.Since FF7 is much more popluar I guess.

[Cathryn]

Not another fucking 'omg remake speculationz' thread.

VIII finished how it intended to. I don't think it's should be another revamped piece off bullshit, flying off movies, prequels and sequels.
Just no.

[GrimReaperXIII]

I would love all to buy all of the crap released in the name of FFVIII. Movies, sequals, prequals, spin-offs, limited edition shiny stuff, etc.

As long as it's released near me, and I don't have to travel to JP to get in, I will buy it. FFVIII remains one of my favourite games among all times.

[Naunen]

Final Fantasy VIII is as finished as it gets though people who don't even use their brains to put together things wouldn't think so. No remake whatsoever for me. It's just a cheap more-weirded-up intended imitation of an Amano Final Fantasy game. No sequels either.
I can't say much about VII. It's not my favourite but I'd say an anime would suit it (with Cloud and his hair and all). It looks strange since his hair in VII was longer than in AC.

[Strifer]

Oh Yeah. Absolutely

[entity]

I would love to see a remake :wub: FF8 is maybe my favourite of the series. But I don't think a sequel could work. The story would be forced, I think... But a prequel could do, if the protagonist was Laguna! I miss his leg cramps... :lol:

yeah the leg cramps where lols, i think u right about the prequel as there r so many gaps in lagunas story.

[Darling Heartilly]

FFVIII is by far my favourite so I'd love a remake. I doubt it will happen, but sequel wise, there were actually a few loose ends they could probably work with;

- Rinoa's a Sorceress and her boyfriend's the Commander of a military faction set to kill all sorceress'. Rebellion, anyone?:rolleyes:
- The way people normally control the Lunar Cry went totally wrong, so now there's monsters everywhere.
-They could draw something from the fact that SeeD is a school that teaches kids to kill. Just think of the psycological horror that could be implimented from that.

And if all else fails they could just pull something completely random out of their arses like they did for Advent Children. Well, it'll never happen anyway :'(

A remake's more likely, though. I bet that SE will eventually remake the first 9 games. In, like, 10 years or something, but eventually...

I agree. Then it could be like an FF8-2 ( just like FFX-2 was. I also found an image on google titled FF8-2 (with Rinoa on the picture wear what fairly look similar to Lightning's). A blog

[Auroradark]

id like a remake of VIII just cause even now im still playing VIII regularly cause its a great game xD as long as they donttry making a random piece of shit shooter using squalls gunblade like they made Dirge of Cerberus, then i could care less what they do with it xD though a sequel would be difficult they could pull it off with the right devos for it. but remake is prolly as far as FFVIII will ever get.

[Hae Jung Shin]

No, thank you. Why remake a game that is perfect as it is?

[Ixion]

Well, so far, there have been remakes made for FF 1-4 and you can bet that there will be remakes for 5 and up ( especially with 7 to consider). I hope that the remakes ( if it's done) for 7 and on would be on either the PSP or PS3 consoles.

[Unknown Kaze]

Square Fail with FF movies IMO.PERIOD. No more movies thank you very much. I wouldnt mind a remake of VIII though.

IMO, what's that? ?.?

[Darling Heartilly]

IMO = In My Opinion

[OmiVersusXIV]

yeah i think they should make a movie and a game like crisis core for PSP because its almost there 20th anniversary so they should do something good for another great game in the series.

[Bun]

No, no, no, no, no. After seeing the ups and downs (mostly downs) of Final Fantasy VII's Compilation, I am strongly against the idea of a remake or movie for this game. I like it as is and I don't know how or what they would do with it.

[Ixion]

SE didn't fail with FF movies in my opinion. AC was really great ( watched it a hundred times on my PSP and I still love it). FFVII: The Last Order ( Anime ver., 30 min, events in CCFFVII) was ok even though I don't know if you can consider it a movie with its duration. The Spirits Within was pretty good ( even though it focused more on sci-fi than fantasy).

[The Whaler]

Why make ANOTHER FFVII movie?

All Advent Children had was flashy fight scenes and nice CG, nothing more really.
Honestly the way I would've done it is:

-DoC the movie

-and no movie at all for Advent Children or AT LEAST a ps2 remake or something

[Whiplash]

^You do realise this is the FFVIII forum, don't you?

[The Whaler]

...shit....

I didnt see the 3rd I

thank you whiplash for pointing out one of my many flaws

I'm just gonna leave it so people can laugh at my post to brighten up their days

:cookie:

[UnlimitedFaith]

FFVIII is probably my favorite of all FF's... I personally don't think I'd want a movie for it, I'd of course probably get it if they did though. I just don't want them to mess with story as much as they did with VII. I don't think FFVII: Advent Children was bad... but it could have been better?
A remake would be nice though... but I doubt that they would remake it before VII, just because it is more popular. LOL I could almost see hardcore FFVII fans rioting over FFVIII being a remake before FFVII. XD

[ceru]

I don't think the game would really gain anything graphically from a remake, because its already beautiful. The FMVs in the game are all stunning and because there are so many of them during the storyline, a remake wouldn't really bring any extra glory to the title.

I'd rather see VI or VII remade, and VII CAUTIOUSLY.

[balthierxashe]

Above all other remakes, I'd like to see VI on the main console.

If they did something with VIII, I just hope they don't mess it up @.@ I'd be interested in it though. A prequel into Laguna's life could actually be fun.

Definitely, DoC had mostly great cut scenes and enough to make a movie out of (since game play wasn't all that great). If you ask me AC and DoC should've switched.

[The Ultimate Navi]

To be honest, I hated VIII, So I wouldn't get anything else of it anyway :\

But yeah, they should've made a DoC movie. That would've been awesome.

[ArxTheHero]

An FFVIII movie would be cool.

[Auroradark]

A movie would ruin the story id think. Kinda hard to shove all that story into a movie, and there isnt that much to improve on if they did a look into what happens after. remake would be cool, just for the fact itd be upgraded graphically. would give me even more reason to play a game that i already think is awsome.

[ArxTheHero]

I would prefer a Prequel or remake. A sequel could be good if done right. A remake would probly have better graphics, voice acting, and more sidequest. They could also inmprove the juction system.

[Zezlar]

Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite in there series so far and I would love to see a remake of the game. Now for the movie, the game had good ending and I wouldnt see how they could continue but possibly a movie remake of events within the game?

Squall is soo whoop @$$ he can beat cloud down. :P

[ArxTheHero]

I would like a Laguna prequel, but I want to play as Squall more. A remake could happen after the inevitable FFVII remake.

[balthierxashe]

[ArxTheHero]

Or they could always do a sequel that won't ruin the ending of the game. (They're SeeD's for crying out)

[Vidya]

Nothing. Keep the game in the original format, no sequels, remakes, or anything.

It's a good enough game on it's own, don't ruin it. D:

But I want more of Laguna! *cries*

lol JK.

What could be fun would be a well done manga/comic book series about Laguna before the game. I'm afraid that any spin off games would not be good enough or hold up to the feel of FFVIII. As for a movie...MAYBE it could be done right, but I don't want anything after the game. The game had a pretty good ending, in my opinion, so I don't want them messing that up.

So pretty much...I want more Laguna. Maybe even some kid-Squall. I want something filled with details and stuff we didn't know, sprinkled with things we did know

[Lucy]

I prefer a movie but no after or before story...just the game story with some past scenes to know more bout the characters or stuff like that..
