Talk:Final Fantasy VIII

message: was Square Europe, not Sony. I've corrected this before, but for some reason someone has reverted this change to say it was published by Sony. Great stuff by whoever did that(!) The splash screen clearly says published by Square Europe Ltd. Thats why the SCE logo is not on the front of the box and why it has an SLES number not SCES. source here http://www.hellandheavennet.com/image/final-fantasy-8/images/boxeu2.jpg chocobogamer mine 22:38, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the article forgot that there's a PC version of this game. So, there's lack of the PC version development, till now. PC version review by IGN here. — Blue。 16:26, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I think that's the problems with featured articles; people just stop editing them thinking they're already "complete", even though they might not be (or might not be anymore, as the FF developers often release precious information on past titles in recent interviews).

message: At User:Teggles' request, I scanned ten pages related to FF VIII from some 1999 Game Informers. Just letting you all know in case there's some usable information in them of benefit to the article. Cheers. sesuprime 04:14, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's necessary to cite specific lines of dialogue from the game's script in the story section. No other Wikipedia article for a work of fiction does this, and it's actually quite distracting.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.139.107 (talk) 00:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Game script quotations are necessary for most video game articles, including this one and other articles in the Final Fantasy series. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 00:53, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it helps ensure that plot summaries are staying true to the story as portrayed and not falling into "original research" territory. With that said, I also think that script cites should be kept to claims that may seem a little surprising to readers, such as plot twists, revelations, and story tidbits disclosed during sidequests. That sort of thing. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 05:59, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's also not true at all that "no other article" does this. See many, many video game FAs. Axem Titanium (talk) 03:06, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi, big question - The game of Triple Triad that features ithin Final Fantasy VIII, isn't mentioned by the Wiki-link in this article; that goes to an article about reoccurring themes in the Final Fantasy series (from what I've seen).  I was wondering if anyone would be alright if I included a sub-section of this under the "Gameplay" section of the article, merely to outline how it is played, general rules (not the rules like "Open", "Same") regarding it, what types of cards there are and how to earn more, and describe how in-game rules are changed by different regions and such like.   GUtt01 (talk) 13:03, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That information, unfortunately, would be more suited to the Final Fantasy Wikia. That level of game-guide detail would be inappropriate if it was on the FF8 game itself, and much more so for a minigame inside of it. A wikipedia article on a video game gives a general overview of how the game is played, but shouldn't go into too much detail that is only of interest to players of the game, and especially without sources. --PresN 14:30, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds fair.  How about revising the Wiki-link to a url-link to the webpage on the FFWikia page that talks about it, rather than linking to the page it currently goes to? GUtt01 (talk) 18:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't usually do inline-links like that to other websites, but I think it'd be reasonable to add an external link to the bottom of the page to whatever Wikia pages you think would be useful to readers. Kind of surprised they're not there already. --PresN 21:07, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I've removed the FVIIIGirls image. While the image description was trying to state it was showing the game's unique art style, there isn't really prose to support it specifically for the promo art specifically. Maybe we could find a statement or more specific in-game thing over the promo art as the game's character don't exactly show off this with the promo image.
