FF8 was a game I played as a teenager and didn't fully understand the plot. Videos like this are helpful to give me more context and appreciate the story
Ff8 was shat out withtin a year after 7 success. It had a bs story. All the fan fanfare is cope. Nothing makes sense in this game.or why are guardian forces stored on a school pc and only ever used by you, wirhout any bearing on the srory other than a mcguffin plottwist halfway through the game. I learned to hate it over the years.
This is kinda silly, but watching this made me realize that FFVIII's fashion is actually quite comfy. Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general are kind of stereotyped as having impractical rule-of-cool clothing, but I think I'd be fine wearing most of VIII's outfits casually. Not Dr. Odine's though, that collar would get scuffed pretty quick.
nomura's designs have always been inspired by tokyo streetwear, and the nature of viii's setting means their clothes get close enough that everything ends up looking extremely wearable! xiii's cast is also pretty good for this, at least for the characters from cocoon, while twewy is also worth mentioning, given the cast are literally tokyo streetkids.
It’s this type of story telling that makes this game so much better than what we initially experienced playing it. Many of the writers were ahead of their times in terms of what they could actually physically put in the games, but their world building is second to none. With remakes now a standard talking point, this game could be well-received if redone utilizing all of this lore you have been putting out there that exists for this game. These videos make me enjoy the game even more than I already did. Excellent job!
Final fantasy VIII was my first game in the franchise and is still one of my favorites. I thought I knew pretty much everything about it because I have played it so many times, but I am finding out so much new information from this long-form content. Thank you so much for all the work you and your team do to bring us fans these videos. We really appreciate them.❤
That so much rich history within FF8. This is an awesome documentary. Also the northern crate was due to artificial lunar cry? I always thought is a plot armour not to allow players to go to Esthar from north lol
The timing! Just two hours ago I scanned through your channel if the second part was already uploaded and I just missed it! Can't wait to follow you again into the lore, thanks for your work!
This is the kind of world mythology that future mainline titles should pursue. A mix of technology and magic, with political intrigue baked in. I feel like this is the essence of Final Fantasy stories. Great deep dive!
@@jamesgravil9162from 6 onwards, yes. Skipping 9. Tactics is very low technology compared to 12 wich is the same world at its peak. 13 is full on cyber magic punk while 15 is more like ff7 or 8 albeit with some bad execution here and there (I still find it cool).
This is SO well written and all encompassing! Thank you for highlighting such a complex story that has always hidden just below the surface 🤯 I really want an VIII prequel now!!
Because it wasn’t in the actual game. A little bit of the minute details were, but this was all told way after the game came out because fans were mad about how bad the lore was compared to 7.
The game was cut in half. They initially wanted it 50/50 between Squall and Laguna. Half.in the past, half in the present. I assume much of the Laguna section, which was cut out, had information 9n the sorceress wars.
I have played through FF8 several times.. it was my very first (and therefore special to me) FF game, and seeing this made me realize that in the grand scheme of the game lore I still knew almost nothing about it. Very deep and comprehensive look.
Thank you for tackling this story and I can't leave for the next content. This is probably the most detailed pieces of the story I've heard in a long time. Keep up the great work y'all and I can't wait for the next part!
I love the plot clarifications because I didn't get crap while I was a teenager... BUT THE BIGGEST THING WAS YOU MAKING CLEAR WHAT THAT HUGE CRATER WAS NEAR TRABIA THANK YOU
So I’m 31 and I just played FFVIII for the first time this past August-these past vids have been great cause there was a lot of lore and story I missed either due to lack of understanding context clues or (sorry VIII fans) boredum in some points, to say nothing of pacing concerns I had. So, I’m really enjoying getting the refresher and crash course.
FF 8 is not just my favorite Final Fantasy, it is my favorite game of all time 😍 thank you SO much for your granular examination of it! 🎉 Cannot wait for part 3!
Man, Final Fantasy VIII is so underrated. I go back and forth on which is my favorite (between VII and VIII), but right now, I’m leaning VIII. Thank you for your hard work on this series exploring the lore! I eagerly await future installments!
Thank you for the great work in putting this all together! This was a major game in my childhood, and SOOO much of this plot was lost to me at the time. It goes to show me how much effort went into the worldbuilding of this game!
While playing as Laguna, there is a galbadian sergeant in the hotel. That has a thought bubble about sending Laguna and Co away out of jealousy over Julia. I always assumed that's was why they were picked for the mission.
Brilliant video! I honestly had no idea about any of this lore and both videos were fantastic. Love the presentation, story telling, everything! 10/10.
Enjoyed both the videos so much! Ff8 is my favorite and will al always have a special place for me. Its interesting how this video covered on a lot that I did not even know of. Thanks for making such entertaining videos. Waiting for a part 3 that covers current timeline and the future (cid and edea, orphanage, making of garden, ultimecia, griever, seeds figting across generations etc)
these are the best videos on FF8 and I really wanna thank you for these. its my favorite FF game and these deep lore dives are just making me appreciate it even more.
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to explain the details of the story. It really makes me look more fondly back at my time playing FF8....other than drawing magic for so long... looking forward to the next one
Man, this makes Final fantasy VIII's story actually pretty good. I never knew a lot of this! If this installment is ever graced with a remake, these expansive elements should be carefully considered.
@omensoffate I think some of people's beliefs in a bad story is due to some comic reviews of the game. I never thought it was bad, but I do think it's in bad need of cleaning up. More of the "supplemental" story needs to be included in the "active" story, and needs to be tightened up a bit. With that, I think it could be on par with RPGs that set a benchmark for an amazing story. FFVIII is particularly dear to me. I'd love to see it get a remake that refreshes it for contemporary gaming, but shows those who grew up with it what can really do.
@@omensoffateIt’s because “GFs cause memory loss, Squall is a time traveler, every party member was in an orphanage ran by a sorceress whose husband makes a giant floating mercenary college” is absurd.
This game has been with me all of my life. I even have a gunblade hanging on my wall in acknowledgement of its effect on me. I always knew the story but never had the ability to truly put it all together in my head. This really helped to make clear something very deeply hidden in more recent final fantasy entries. Sakaguchi, Nomura, Takahashi and the various other writers of Square where well aware of how tragic history can be. It's almost like the purpose of writing these games were to help people work through the emotions and fears we would hold in our generation. I can't help but think of Machiavelli, Tsun-Tsu, and John Locke whenever I look at the stories of the final fantasies outside of the perspectives of the main characters. This once again really helped with that. this also keeps reminding me of the questions each game asks its player without them realizing it every time they play through these stories: What is it that separates those who live a normal life, from those who will be written in the annals of history? What did it take to make those people grab a hold of their destinies and fight to change the world they live in. Can we, the holder of the controllers hear the manifesto to change the world... can we do so? I think maybe. but only if we can break our shackles of fear, our dependence on comfort and find the emotional and mental state that allows us to burn brightly and relentlessly until the fire can burn no more. I'm American. I am sad to be one. I am sad for monsters are pulling puppet strings everywhere and I feel helpless and hopeless on how to stop the violence or repent for the sins of our country. For now all I can do is hope that this inspiriation and my life experiences help me to cook up a way to help make things better for someone somewhere. Thank you for this video. I needed it to process a part of my own feelings.
ngl i had this video on in the background for like 40 minutes before remembering it was playing, thinking "what am i listening to" and still being no closer to understanding Final Fantasy 8 that I ever was Lol.
I finally discovered a program called antimicro that lets me map my keyboard to my controller so i can play this on steam, it would never work for me and i dont know how to get ps1 emulators to work lol, so i can now revisit my favorite game from my youth! These videos are really great. ❤
I'd like for a FF8 Game that takes place during the Sorceress War, Adel is a Antagonist i'd love to see in action at her prime and possibly other Sorceresses.
42:19 HUH SO THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WITH WARD. Let me explain. In the french script of the game, instead of being injured to the throat, Ward takes the quote "'If you say something bad...." VERY seriously, and declares, in a 4th wall break, that he will no longer say a word to the "very end of the game". Laguna tries to get him to speak by calling him "FAT", to no avail. Also, to emphasize how bad the french translation was in this particular spot of the game, the quote is first attibuted to Kiros's grandmother, then to Laguna's 10 seconds later! It makes no sense at all! In fact, this problem applies in general to the whole backstory of the game, reasonnably unclear in english, but completely ignored and butchered in french, leading to mass confusion around Hyne, Adel and Ultimecia, and why they are the way they are. Your video here serves as an immense help resyncing everyone's watches.
FF8’s hidden lore is something that was way ahead of its time. If this would have come out post-Dark Souls where people began appreciating having lore you need to work at piecing together, it would be viewed so much differently.
I'll be honest, I thought Adel was a dude. I don't mind buff women, I actually find them quite attractive, but PS1 graphics and the fact I didn't speak a lick of English back when I played this game - and I still got to Ultimecia, somehow - didn't help me understand Adel has no Y chromossome.
That's a game that definitely needs it given so much of the story info is hidden in the datalogs. The issue I think though is that I believe FFXIII hasn't gotten the same amount of supplemental information as what FFVIII has. A lot of the info in these videos is in the game, but it's also from the Ultimania, interviews, and stories the writers wrote afterwards to fill out the story more.
@moonlitxangel5771 that's a fair point, one that does give a huge challenge into the making of theses videos, but I think in his granular style could help emphasise the importance of 13 in the franchise.
I won't lie, I always loved seeing Kiros. I wish he was in more FF games, and not just as a side character or support, etc. The story for this game was admittedly super confusing for my ND brain, but I still liked FF8 more than 7. I definitely loved the fight themes in this one as well.
Didn't really understand the full story when it first came out years ago and i was only about 12, but i still enjoyed it, now years later and many playthroughs and i understand the story I still enjoy the game.

@aidansearle5023, nobody asked for your input either.
Ff8 was shat out withtin a year after 7 success.
It had a bs story.
All the fan fanfare is cope.
Nothing makes sense in this game.or why are guardian forces stored on a school pc and only ever used by you, wirhout any bearing on the srory other than a mcguffin plottwist halfway through the game.
I learned to hate it over the years.
Same
@@IWantBasterds FF7 story is also a bunch of BS LOL
This is kinda silly, but watching this made me realize that FFVIII's fashion is actually quite comfy. Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general are kind of stereotyped as having impractical rule-of-cool clothing, but I think I'd be fine wearing most of VIII's outfits casually.
Not Dr. Odine's though, that collar would get scuffed pretty quick.
nomura's designs have always been inspired by tokyo streetwear, and the nature of viii's setting means their clothes get close enough that everything ends up looking extremely wearable! xiii's cast is also pretty good for this, at least for the characters from cocoon, while twewy is also worth mentioning, given the cast are literally tokyo streetkids.

6, 7, and 8 had this and even 10 to a point. I would love another venture into a steampunk world!
@@travisty222final fantasy 13 too
@@travisty222what about 12?
Isn't that what ALL Final Fantasies are? Technology, magic and political intrigue. Plus a bit of romance with some comedy added in, usually.

Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot. ~Darryl
I honestly didn't realize that Adel's imprisonment was so recent to when the Squall side of things takes place.
well yeah, it happened right at the end of laguna's arc, so it would've happened around the time squall was born
How was such an intriguing story hidden within this game? Absolutely jaw dropping to see Adel being fleshed out in this manner.
Because it wasn’t in the actual game. A little bit of the minute details were, but this was all told way after the game came out because fans were mad about how bad the lore was compared to 7.

Ff8 was rushed within a year after vii.
It was in the game. You just have to read the documents in the menus, talk to NPCs, pay close attention etc.
@@sharp7j jeah jeah, a masterpiece written within a year.

I would 110% play a game of Laguna story even if the last boss fight is just bamboozling Adel
Oh, the forests of Timber sure have changed!
But the owls are still around
Good job with the research and video.
Another amazing video about my favorite FF game. The deep has made a lot of the seemingly disconnected bits come together in a very coherent way

Thank you for your hard work on this series exploring the lore! I eagerly await future installments!
I have always liked 8 more than 7. My favorite is 10 though
FF VIII has been my favourite game for over 20 years now, I love any video talking about it and its rich lore
Im realizing that i was too young to have understood the game on its whole aspect. Great video!
It's crazy how "Eyes On Me" became such a hit IRL as it did in the game, it really is a masterpiece all on its own.
Final Fantasy 8 taught me that there can be a entire world in a video game awesome video
I've been eagerly waiting for this next part of FF8's story. I never realised how deep its lore was. Now to eagerly await part 3!
Thank you for the great work in putting this all together! This was a major game in my childhood, and SOOO much of this plot was lost to me at the time. It goes to show me how much effort went into the worldbuilding of this game!

Part III: Laguna turns into Liam Neeson. Lol
Bravo FFU!!! It is content like this that keeps the passion alive for these games.
5:40 That's funny Leviathan is being used on a chimera. That's one of the few enemies that will fully absorb it.
Love a new long form video from FF Union
Keep these videos and split them as needed, I’ll eat them all up. When you’re done I would this for 7 and 10, my next 2 favorite FF games
Brilliant video!
I honestly had no idea about any of this lore and both videos were fantastic. Love the presentation, story telling, everything! 10/10.
im so happy to see ffviii covered more and getting the love it deserves
Nice I just refreshed myself on pt 1 yesterday!
There is a reason I love FF8. The lore is a critical part of that. Thank you for showing the greater public how flavorful it is.
I am so glad someone is finally going into greater detail! You only ever hear about it in passing moments.
Amazing video! Great idea focusing on just story of Laguna and his point of view :)
There is SOOO much more to this game than I ever THOUGHT!

42:19 HUH SO THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WITH WARD. Let me explain.
In the french script of the game, instead of being injured to the throat, Ward takes the quote "'If you say something bad...." VERY seriously, and declares, in a 4th wall break, that he will no longer say a word to the "very end of the game". Laguna tries to get him to speak by calling him "FAT", to no avail.
Also, to emphasize how bad the french translation was in this particular spot of the game, the quote is first attibuted to Kiros's grandmother, then to Laguna's 10 seconds later! It makes no sense at all! In fact, this problem applies in general to the whole backstory of the game, reasonnably unclear in english, but completely ignored and butchered in french, leading to mass confusion around Hyne, Adel and Ultimecia, and why they are the way they are.

Thank you! This is yet another fascinating video, I love your in-depth explorations of Final Fantasy. Appreciated!
I'll be honest, I thought Adel was a dude. I don't mind buff women, I actually find them quite attractive, but PS1 graphics and the fact I didn't speak a lick of English back when I played this game - and I still got to Ultimecia, somehow - didn't help me understand Adel has no Y chromossome.

Great video, I'm looking forward to the rest.
Loving these videos about FF8:s deeper lore. Thank you for making these ^_^
Thanks for this! I really hope that in my lifetime, this beautiful game gets proper remake! It really, REALLY deserves it!
I remember playing ff8 when I was 10.... 25 years ago, I would love to play it again 😁
I'm here early and I feel great, to listen to more lore of Final fantasy 8! Here we go! 😊
Bring on part 3!!!
I do wonder how much is much more apparent in the Japanese, because of subtleties of implications and foreshadowing that are lost in translation.
You probably already did but I'd there a lore video you can do for Odin. I've always been curious of his background
Could you please do 13 to thie depth of this part 1 and 2.

I have spent soooo many hours on this game sometimes just playing triple triad. Sometimes roaming to see what monsters I could find
Another great video!
awesome! waiting for the next part!
This was very informative. Thank you for the ff8 history lesson.
