Final Fantasy VIII

Few weeks ago I suddenly wanted to listen to the OST of final fantasy 8 called "The Castle". It's one of the most memorable OST I ever heard out of the FF series I played(VII. VIII, IX, X). It's been around 7-8 years since I last played final fantasy VIII. 


As I remembered I initially hated the junction system last time cuz u gotta draw magics from monsters and draw points to use them with a max cap of 100. During that time I was still a kid and probably wont understand how the hell to do the junction thingy. So I used GAMESHARK!!! WAKAKA! (which means cheating).

However, when I play it this time on psp (although it flares me up since it always freezes or hang when u cast spells), I actually quite enjoy the junction system. The characters, settings are quite realistic compared with other series. One of the most memorable thing bout ff8 is OMEGA WEAPON. It's one of the toughest boss in FF series. To me i think it should be tougher than Ozma of FF9 since it has about 1.1M hp. But of course after few trial, I manage to beat the hell out of it. YEAH!!!

This was once my least favourite series last time cuz i dun understand at all. After I play it this time, I'm in love with it. I love all the characters from the game (esp Laguna, Irvine, the extremely cute little Ellone during Laguna dream sequence at the start of disc 2 at Winhill).

The OST's are so mesmerizing (esp Julia, The Castle, Under Her Control, The Extreme, Dance with the Balamb Fish, Fragments of Memories, Ami, The Man With The Machine Gun, Fisherman's Horizon) almost all huh? XD  Man, Nobuo Umetsu totally ROCKS! (other production include the famous one-winged angel from ff7) I downloaded the piano sheet but due to the current level of my piano skill I'm unable to play them properly. >.<

It's kinda sad that I've finished this game after 2-3 weeks. T.T  I want to replay it but when come to think of it, i shouldn't waste any time replaying it. The ending is quite awesome. Seifer turning from bad to good again and 1st time see him smile with real happiness, and my favourite part is Laguna's part. Damn touching and funny as well. And the last part as well, the recording part by Selphie. :)

When I find the OST on youtube, I noticed many positive comments regarding the songs. I realised that it is one of the best game I've ever played. Truly AMAZING!
