Yeah, they gave the title "FF Gaiden" to somethin' else. Man, I wish they'd make THIS FFGaiden. The one with Seifer. Crap, crap, crap! Everytime I look at this, I see so much potential MOCKED and DENIED. Can't anyone out there make a cheap little one disc PS1-type game like this? Just a short story with Seifer, Raijin, Fujin, maybe Laguna, Kiros and Ward too? Please? SOMEONE out there? We GOTTA be able to do this somehow.
The GIA reported yesterday that Square was creating Final Fantasy Gaiden. The information, screenshots, art, and movie were created for the GIA by the skillful Nick "Rox" Des Barnes. (And no, he's not telling how he did the movie.) Square is not planning to release Final Fantasy Gaiden in any way, shape, or form. The GIA apologizes for any inconvience from the story.
Aren't you glad April Fools' Day only comes once a year?
I'd like to see this actually made my self. Even as a Psp downloadable content it would be good. Also would like to play more as Laguana,Kiros,and Ward. Tell alittle bit more about how it was in the war. I mean,hell,If they gave Vincent a crappy spin off they could atleast give those guys something.
I wonder if anyone could actually make a PS1 game themselves. It'd be nice to see FF8 Gaiden actually made. I know it's just an AFD joke, but I'm a huge Seifer Almasy fan. Wish his character and all the other side characters got their chance in the spotlight, and maybe Seifer get "redeemed" in an adventure all his own.
The (now defunct) GIA created this as an April Fool's Joke. There never was any plans of creating a side-game of sequel for Final Fantasy VIII. If you really want to know confirmation I suggest hunting down Andrew Vestal where ever he may be. The GIA was led by Vestal after the UnOfficial SquareSoft HomePage was resurrected as RPGamer after he handed the content over to Mikel Tidwell. All credit regarding this piece should be given to Vestal and his staff that created this piece so long ago.
it really is a shame but its really hard to create a sequel to a style of game that doesnt have any sequel so i can under stand squaresofts decision thats also why FF X-2 was not very well reviewed
And this was so long ago... 1999 I guess. There was also an speculation about a full game with Laguna and his friends. But I don't know why did square cancel these games. It'd be cool to play. I guess in those years they were a lot worried about their first movie: "Spirits Within", and then, they were not foccused in anything different from that.
Actually this is one of the games that the old squaresoft was supposed to release to complete the FF VIII Saga. I heard about it. This was going to tell Seifer's history. But it was cancelled right away it was announced.
I was so mad when I figured out this was a fake - I love Seifer, and would've adored seeing a sequel with him and how he might've changed... but alas, it was just a cruel joke... And all Square seems to care about these days is FF7. Granted, I like FF7 myself, but they can only milk that so long before it's dead in the water.
Yeah because even years after the immense success of PS2 and the slow-building power f the PS3, the company was totally still making shitty PS1 sequels.
Show a whole battle from start to finish. All you used was magic-- I want to see them actually attacking.
I will say this much; I fucking love Seifer's attack stance. It's just twenty kinds of badass.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
gaaaaaaaaaay...Final Fantasy VIII rocks..this is just retarded though...anyone here can tell u the same thing...i mean, come on...Raijin, Fujin, and Seifer? lame as hell... =P
Seifer is easily done on PS. Not sure about Fuujin and Raijin on PS, but on PC you can make a party using "enemy control" mods. Also, their victory stace comes from in-battle dialoge. "ELLONE, WHERE?" - Fuujin
lol, i can do it with an action replay, they jsut replace one member of the party, say you kick out selphie for Fuujin, fuujin will have selphies limit break, her equipment (although not shown in battle) and all of selphies dialogue as if she was selphie.
lol, it's an old video & the descript is the article that was posted with it. Whole thing was an April Fools joke :3 There's two images of screenshots as well, but I'm too lazy to post them.
@SomeGuysBasement Wow! when graphics are as good as their's there's no need to change... "Fuck Face Faggot!" What did you want...Squall to have a Raging Boner! that'll make A Queer like you thirsty?!...Or maybe Rhinoa should look more like a man So that you may feel more attracted to...and yes i know how old your post is ya "Fuck Face Faggot!"
@llLaserBoyll I believe you have overlooked my rhetoric; I was not suggesting Final Fantasy VIII needed upgraded graphics, but that the author of this video was manipulating the game so as to falsify the existence of a sequel to possible the greatest game ever made. I do, however, enjoy the rage which my comment has inspired and the ludicrous way you seem to attribute my accusation to sexual frustration. Alas, some of us do not entertain homosexual fantasies about video game characters.
oh gameshark... man what i woulda done to swap squall and rai

It's fake. It's a video of a battle in FFVIII, probably using cheats to get the right characters and such, and with some really bad image editing.
It's a cute idea, though.

I don't like sequels, I don't like spin-offs. (except kingdom hearts) So remake Vii or leave it alone.
But I would prefer an ffviii remake.
