| 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. |

Wasn't there one in the Desert Prison? I'm not sure where, but I think it was in one of the cells 
I don't think treasure chests would fit into the FFVIII world. It just wouldn't be right to have them there

It's probably because FFVIII has less of a focus on items. They aren't as important in battle as I suppose magic and your GFs. You don't get weapons that way either because you remodel them with other items you can refine with GF abilities, and you usually get them through battles instead of finding them on the floor. Even the magazines aren't in treasure chests, and the characters don't wear armor. The special items like Solomon's Ring are in plain view. I suppose they've eliminated the concept of the treasure chest in favor of the item just being there on the ground.

Yeah, if they had chests in FFVIII, it would've killed the mood.

Truthfully, I never really noticed any of that.

They really wouldn't of fit into the world at all in my opinion. And like it was stated, instead they give us draw points which are just as cool in my opinion. |
