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.

What to do

My grandparents have recently had a mass clean out and discovered my original copy of Final Fantasy VIII which I bought back in 1999! Its minus the manuel, but it looks like its in fine condition.

But I have a problem. I had to buy Final Fantasy VIII gain as I lost the original and I could only get the platnium copy, any platnium Final Fantasys that got released I bought. So what do I do?

Do I keep both or sell one off? I suppose one could make some money, but I have all platnuims, so should I sell the original? But the orginal was the orignal I bought!?

So, what would you do? Im tempted to keep both really!

Keep your platinum collection and sell your "original". xD.

If you have an all platinum collection, then you should stay with that and make some cash. w00t.

well, most people would say to save the platinum because it would be worth more later. Wrong, since it's not the same with video games. I say, sell whichever will get you more, unless you like the platinum alot.

Platinum sounds cool, so you can't get rid of that XD. On the other hand, the other one is the original so you shouldn't really get rid of that either.
Keep them both Don't know how much money you'd make on them anyway...

Well the amount that you'll get for the original probably won't be worth selling it. It's the same with the platinum version, so you won't really be much better off. The money could maybe do you for a few drinks, bu that's about it
But ask yourself, would you have bought the platinum version had you not lost the original? Because if the answer is no, then you may as well sell the platinum one
