// Still grinding, now SeeD rank 17 and about 1700 kills. Feel free to interact with me still, I'll pause once in a while. #NickPlaysFF8

//Day 2 of Squall running around the world map to the tune of "Yakety Sax". #NickPlaysFF8

//High speed mode is funny because Squall zips around the world map like he REALLY needs to use the bathroom. #NickPlaysFF8

//Wait a doggone minute, there's a *high-speed* hotkey? I could have been doing this at warp speed this whole time?! #NickPlaysFF8

//While I acknowledge I may not be optimally grinding, I think I'll hit the 10K achievement somewhere around the year 2080. #NickPlaysFF8

//Also discovered I can't turn the music off in the game, just the sound effects. So either I'm going to listen to the same 30 seconds of world map/battle on a loop until I hallucinate, or I have to put down my headphones and listen to stuff on my phone. #NickPlaysFF8 #FirstWorldProblems

//Sure glad I waited until AFTER I beat the game to look up which spells are best to junction for each stat. #NickPlaysFF8

//Well got this out of the way, at least. #NickPlaysFF8

//Not going to bed until I hit Level 100 on Chocobo World to get this cursed achievement. #NickPlaysFF8

//Thankfully you can let the game auto-run in the background, but be sure to mute that window or else the Chocobo theme will break your mind. #NickPlaysFF8

//Oh great, I have to do the Chocobo World minigame to get 100% achievements on FF8. For those unfamiliar, Chocobo World is a Japan-exclusive feature that is a little like Tamagotchi with a Chocobo, but items you get there can transfer to your save file. #NickPlaysFF8

//Final Fantasy VIII is complete. The universe is saved, although Squall nearly caused a time paradox because he's a dum-dum.

Overall, not one of my favorites. There is a lot of potential here, but it feels like it kept falling short of the mark.

#NickPlaysFF8

//We're on Disc 4, and I guess this is a point of no return? Oh well, whatever, the end is in sight. #NickPlaysFF8

//Final Fantasy VIII -- enjoy all-new features like running around on an island mashing the X button for 2 hours to find invisible magic spells to give to your party! #NickPlaysFF8

//So, uh...that didn't go well. #NickPlaysFF8

//Who the hell let Selphie near the controls? This is a disaster waiting to happen. #NickPlaysFF8

//No, it can't be! No way am I crying during the 'Eyes On Me' sequence! This game isn't good enough to make me emotional like that. Damn you, FF8! #NickPlaysFF8

//Somebody call Dr. Pimple Popper, the moon has a nasty zit on it. #NickPlaysFF8

//Oh god, the game is drunk and everything is upside down. #NickPlaysFF8

//Ah, so Final Fantasy IV is canon in this universe. Cool. #NickPlaysFF8

//Ah, I see Laguna is a fan of AC/DC. #NickPlaysFF8

//Again, Squall sums up exactly how the player (me) is feeling. #NickPlaysFF8

//I need to play more FF8. I'm about 2/3 done, I think. And I gotta be honest...I just want it to be over. #NickPlaysFF8

//As much as I like Triple Triad, whoever came up with the Queen of Cards sidequest deserves a paddling. #NickPlaysFF8

//You've gotta be kidding me. #NickPlaysFF8

//Ridin' on Chocobos! #NickPlaysFF8

//Obligatory Star Wars reference. #NickPlaysFF8

//Squall accurately summarizes what the player is thinking about this plot. #NickPlaysFF8

//Back to playing Triple Triad 500 times before I can move on. #NickPlaysFF8
