Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

Damn, I never realized that myself either. I was gonna add in that maybe there was Gil in them if they had treasure chests...but then I remembered that you only really obtained Gil as a SeeD salaray for those tests...

Weirdness.

Not really...i found it refreshing to not have to open every single chest in the game for once, it can get rather annoying, though if you dont have a strategy book, every treasure may be potential gold for some final fantasy players......I used to hate opening a treasure chest thinking something valuable was inside only to find something inside of it i have 99 of and i cant carry anymore, what a waste.

not having treasure chests makes a point of realism I tihnk, how often do you walk down the road and see an unlocked treasure chest, or any treasure chest for that matter, being as its set around our timezone it just makes sense

True, you make a good point, this FF was more of a realistic feel, giving the characters more of a close to human look

Yeah I notcied there were an abesense of chest, but as Pooley mentioned they wouldnt have really fitted into the FFVIII world. Just seemed misplaced, although they look ok IMO in VII.

I never actually took much notice about the lack of treasure chests. I was more concerned with making sure I had my magic straight...LOL

What are you talking about? There are unlocked treasure chests everywhere i walk...I just cant find the keys to them......they are rather annoying sitting in the middle of the street and I trip over them constantly...then again where i live Santa Claus is real and every house is made of cookies so...........

why would you need a key for an UNLOCKED chest?
