The truth is FF8 has no plot holes whatsoever. Just because you fail to grasp the full extent of the story, does not actually somehow alter the game to make the plot be deficient in any way. If you think the plot has holes, it's all in your head. That's where the holes are - not in the game.

As for games just being named FF and people going gaga over it..

Newsflash: FF8 is a real FF by Square.

Now, anything by Square Enix... Yeah, absolutely; pure bullshit and not canon.

I have this on an old trailers disc. I thought it was a trailer, not an alternate opening.

@MegaStuff LOL. Just a stupid fanboy. SE does make some good games as well as bad ones.

I see what you did there ;)

Gotta say, the one they decided to go with eventually was slightly better, this is full of spoilers, plus the gunblade fight feels a little out of place in this version

FF7 SUUUUCKS

8 was the only good one.

This opening is great, but I'm glad they didn't use it. This one shows to much of the story and the one they used is very good as it is.

@pokupokupoku What are you talking about? Sazh's only purpose was to break the tension.

@themole90 I agree. There was far too much heavy-handedness and over angsty dialogue in the latest FF. I also miss the 'silliness' that some of the previous games had. Sure they were mostly serious, but they also silly elements that lightened the mood every now and then (Tifa/Scarlet slap fight in FF7, Moomba sidequests in FF8, etc). FF13 felt like it was too scared to have a bit of fun. And the game really suffered for it imo.

@MegaStuff (Don't get me wrong in saying this, VIII is probably my favorite Final Fantasy I've played).

I don't know it seems like a plot hole to me that no one suggested killing Odine and destroying all his work thus making it so Ultimecia never got her hands on a junction machine Ellone. Of course the characters could have been too good hearted to suggest something like that and the way time worked could have prevented it but still I think someone could have suggested it.

its odd how they used the ballroom music at the middle of the video
