Final Fantasy VIII doesn't have treasure chests, the player being rewarded with

finding magazines, draw points, Triple Triad cards, and sometimes items from

talking to NPCs. Triggering scenes in towns is not always linear: some optional

scenes only happen if Releases Edit

PC version Edit

The game launcher of the 2013 re-release version.

Final Fantasy VIII was the second Final Fantasy game to be ported to a Windows platform.
It was released on December 31, 1999 and re-released on December 5, 2013 for Steam.

The Steam version comes with several in-game enhancements, including a speed-up
option to fast-forward through cutscenes and FMVs, as well as built-in cheats, such as
"Battle assist", which makes battles almost impossible to lose.

Similar to Final Fantasy VII, the re-release version comes with the Magic Booster feature
that allows the player to boost their characters' magics to 100. Achievements and cloud
save data storage are also available. Windowed mode and high resolution displays (up to
1920x1080 @ 60Hz) are now supported. However, the game still uses the original midi
tracks from the 1999 version, rather than the PlayStation version music, unlike the 2012 re-
released Final Fantasy VII that has received a musical update. Chocobo World is playable
directly from the launcher after booting up Final Fantasy VIII.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Edit

See also: Final Fantasy VIII version differences

The remastered version was announced on June 10, 2019 at the E3 event, with graphical
improvements including character models and textures. The game retains its original 4:3
aspect ratio in both FMVs and real-time graphic rendering. The music is unchanged from
the original PlayStation version.[10] The remaster was made in cooperation with the French
developer and publisher Dotemu.[11]
The initial plan was to release the remaster on current-generation hardware with
unchanged graphics. However, as Final Fantasy VIII celebrated
Chocobo World gameplay.
Chocobo World is a PocketStation game compatible with Final Fantasy VIII in which the
player controls Boko the chicobo, who embarks on a quest to find MiniMog, and is assisted
by Moomba and Cactuar. As PocketStations were never released outside of Japan,
international PlayStation owners could not play this game, but its connection to the main
game was still programmed into every localization of Final Fantasy VIII, so it is possible to
play the game by buying a PocketStation from Japan. Chocobo World was ported and
included in the PC versions of Final Fantasy VIII, including the 2013 re-release,
where Chocobo World is playable directly from the launcher after booting up Final Fantasy
VIII.
