While in the original, Balamb Garden convincingly felt like a vertiginous, multi-storey facility, here the illusion doesn’t work. The characters and story have aged like a fine Californian wine, standing up among the best in the franchise The story – concerning memory loss, estranged parents, vague and unrequited love triangles, and, naturally, the fate of the universe – is the same as it ever was, and the script has aged well. The same great Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack plonks and trills away, the Junction system offers plenty of party customisation, and the Triple Triad in-game card-trading mechanism is still plenty of fun ( why hasn’t Square Enix made an official mobile version of this?!).
Key additions include a 3x speed boost, which sees you able to blitz through the many random encounters, and the option to turn them off entirely once you’re done with grinding.Īside from these tweaks, Final Fantasy 8 Remastered is the classic you fell in love with all those years ago. New changes that come to the table on all platforms include fresh character and summon sprites, as well as improved animations.

Only the PC version throws in a few extra cheats, which will see you able to max out character stats and money. I’m reviewing the Nintendo Switch version – but, technically, there’s little difference between various versions of Final Fantasy 8 Remastered between platforms.
