Final Fantasy 8 Hottakes (Non-Gameplay Related)

FF8 should have been a horror game

- The CGI graphics remind me too much of a mix of Silent Hill 2 and Parasite Eve - Squall with blood on his face was so striking as the colour red does not appear often in the game - the frame of Squall’s lack of face gave me nightmares when my game lagged during the ending cutscene 

- Rinoa’s unique appearance from clothing (love her DIY duster, bodysuit romper thing with the mini skirt) to her face (strong long and thick eyebrows, downturned eyes that look small when she squirts, and her pale face with no colour) makes her look quite...evil? when she smiles, she looks innocent at first but with her strong eyebrows and pale face, something about her reminds me of ghosts and spirits in Asian folklore (also Silent Hill for some reason) 

- It might just be how blocky yet smooth the CGI looks in cutscenes but the character designs are unique because it doesn’t look that anime? 

- Squall OG design has a really thick neck and angler face which made him look more realistic with the addition of not-anime sized eyes

- I think the lack of warmth on the character models make their faces look so dead which works if it was a horror game

- THE ENDING CUTSCENE! WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW SCARY THAT SHIT WAS? The two things I knew about the game was the frame of No-Face Squall from a watchmojo thumbnail and the ending cutscene (I had no context to the game at that point)

FF8 and Yugioh GX have the same weird setting design

- It’s a weird mix of futuristic (ish) mechanic vibes with socresses and aliens

- Like in GX, its surprising light hearted up until a point where it gets unnecessary edgy with monsters and magic

- It’s actually really hard to describe it but it’s not like FF7′s dieselpunk setting or YuGiOh DM’s mix of Japanese punk rock with Ancient Egyptian settings
