Final Fantasy VIII is weird in the sense that I definitely can not say the story is good as a whole especially because some of the dialogue is terrible but it has great concepts.

It's like if you got an art book of a game that never existed and you used magic to force it to be a video game. Shit won't make sense, things will be frankensteined together, but what's good is very good.

There's a lot of good shit there, there's also a lot of bad shit, and there's also shit that could have been amazing that was later forced to be bad.

I know that sounds terrible but I mostly want to see if any other ff8 fans agree with me lol.

This game would benefit greatly from a remake but they would literally need to change the story itself. A 1:1 story remake wouldn't do it justice.

FFVIII tried to do too many different things at once and a lot of it is stapled together. For a quick face value example of how good the best parts of FFVIII are, simply watch the intro. It has one of the best, if not the best FF intro sequence to date.
