What!? FFVIII is awesome. Because I played it all the time when I was thirteen and now feel very nostalgic about it. It's clearly the best Final Fantasy game because no other Final Fantasy game has managed to pull that off yet and I don't think they ever will.
just cuz you're emo 14 year old self identified with the whiny teenagers doesn't make it good.
or as Squall would say "......."
Look, if nostalgia's not the most objective way of rating these things then I don't know what is.
I just found it retarded that FF7's climax centers around the permadeath of one of the main characters. A main character that has probably died hundreds of times while fighting with you. But no this one time a phoenix down won't work. Just inconsistent.
At least in FF8 the dude falls off a cliff edge so if something kinda permanent happens there it's understandable. Not being able to find a body to phoenix down? Fine. Having the body right in front of you and not even trying? Fuck you.
Who the hell dies in FF8?

eek. Just got my timetable for this PGTA stuff I'm doing this term.
The next three weeks are going to be very, very busy.

FF8 was the best anyway. FF9 was the worst. I'm not using nostalgia for these judgments. I have a Final Fantasy scale in my brain that objectively weighs them against each other and right now my head is drooping left which means FF8 wins.

Nobody. But
at one point someone throws icy shards at someone else and that someone else falls off a cliff. Now I didn't believe for a second that that someone else died, but the "point" of the scene is to make you wonder and if he DID die, it would have made sense at least. More so than in FF7.

Your scale is broken if you don't mention FF4 or FF6 in that list.

Wouldn't guns really fuck up plate armor and make it deadlier to be hit?
well think about it, most bullet proof vest are just a ceramic plate.
I know the interceptor is at the very least.
That is not "just" ceramic though - it is a very specifically engineered ceramic, that i would wager is a multilayered composite structure.
Modern bullets will penetrate steel plate just fine. Now it's true that this is not going to be true for old weapons, but the English had developed armor-piercing arrow tips specifically designed to puncture plate armor.
yes, which had much higher terminal velocities than early bullets.

Stop using pronouns. I played both games, you can't spoiler them for me. I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about because of your vagueness.

There was this game and some shards and a guy I know fell off a cliff when a girl I know was like "yo boy fuck you" and hit him with some shards, you know?

One of my happiest moments in WoW was when I got a tanking sword that was just a longsword with a glow effect. I also had a proper shield at that moment as well. And while my armor was some what ornate, it didn't have any bits that would cause my shoulder to be dislocated or my neck snapped if they were hit. Good times.

See, in D&D, armor works like this:
Heavier armor makes you harder to hit.
I always interpreted it as "heavy armor made it harder for you to take damage".
In my games, I always paid attention to what someone's touch AC was (dex + deflection + 10), and if someone hit their touch but not their AC, I would describe the attack as bouncing off the armor, or blocked by a shield, or whatever.
Made describing fights a little cooler.
And also, I treated guns in my game as only needing touch AC to hit and deal damage; that made them very overly powerful... but real guns and ammo were a bitch to find in my games.
