[05/12] Final Fantasy VIII Gunblades it way onto Steam

[Steve-O]

FINAL FANTASY VII‘s unfortunate less popular little sister FINAL FANTASY VIII just launched on Steam. Square-Enix has put it up for sale with the decent price of 12,99€.

While I’m assuming it’s a port of the PC version release in the late 90s, there are a few features listed on the Steam page, they follow as such:

Magic Booster: When Magic Booster is used, the player’s inventory of the following spells is increased by 100:
Cure, Cura, Curaga, Fire, Fira, Blizzard, Blizzara, Thunder, Thundara, Sleep, Blind, Silence, Berserk, Bio, Esuna, Aero, Confuse, Break, Zombie

Chocobo World: This version of FFVIII includes the full game “Chocobo World” that was released as a separate application for previous versions. It is possible to play “Chocobo World” directly from the launcher after booting up FFVIII and by fulfilling certain specific conditions in the main game you will also be able to synchronise data between the two games.

The Magic Booster is accessible through the launcher and is meant for those that may find the game a bit too hard, or just find drawing magic tedious and boring.

the game is £9.99 in the UK and $12.99 in the US. it also avaliable on the Square Enix Store

I'm sure I'll give this a play. FFVIII is a great game, despite it being underrated. Oh, and because the gunblade is my favorite FF weapon. Haha.

Also, I'm excited they're bringing Chocobo World back; I loved how the two games synced. I'll have no need for the magic booster, though.
