Everything about Balamb is so dream-like and unsettling. The idyllic design, the students running around and chatting, the fucking music.
Whenever I think about it, I feel uneasy.

i think the music is really calming

FF8 is a really bad game

Me too. It’s unnatural and unreal

Hot take ya chimp

You definitely wouldn't guess it's a Military Academy if you just visited as a tourist with no foreknowledge

I mean right next to the Library is a mini Jurassic Park for fucks sake

A military academy that specialises in magically implanting ancient ayylmao guardians that eat away memories in exchange for power.
Plus they definitely put something in those hot dogs.

Imo the whole of FF8 has a dissonant dreamlike quality to it. The whole game just feels so weird

Esthar especially feels like a fever dream
and that's BEFORE the moon starts crying monsters and Squall goes to fucking space

It's almost unbelievable how good it is, actually.

ff8 should have been a card game. the actual story and characters are stupid and boring.

mechanically it has issues if you don't like breaking systems over your knee, and insist on playing it like other FF games, but it's actually one of the best ones fite me irl

Game is great. No PS1 game was bad.

I would legitimately play Triple Triad if they made it its own game

Hear me out. The plot of FF8 would be exponentially more interesting if the roles of Seifer and Rinoa were swapped. Think about it.

Whatever

How many Anons have went to Balamb Garden over the years?

I'm there right now, bro.

Are the hot dogs really that good?

That would be telling.

What's the fastest, most painless way to get there?

Does the remastered version have any decent mods?

this would reek of chlorine or musky piss btw. think disneyland

We all know your fetish now . . . thanks.

Nah, it'd smell slightly salty. Balamb is near the seaside, after all.

tee hee

And when I was 14 I wanted to go there so bad.

I'm a hardcore fan with FF8, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in Balamb Garden where I would often train with Zell in the training center and help Selphie with the Garden Festival, but one day as I was talking to Selphie, we went to my dormitory for a private talk. She immediately said, "You know you could live with us forever.." I gave her a confused look and she continued, "We understand that you live on earth and you REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" She then giggled and said "Because we've been watching you, silly!"

This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. She then said, "I talked with Headmaster Cid and he agreed that you would be PERFECT for SeeD, you just have to do...one thing". She then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You have to kill yourself for the transfer to work correctly." I then gave her some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" She then said "Cid said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." She giggled again, "Suicide will require pain buuut...if you want it quick...Get a gun and a nice shot to the head works.

I then agreed and she gave me a kiss on the forehead, "I know this will be tough but once it's over and done, you'll get to live here!" I then woke up and this was last week and i purchased a gun. I might actually kill myself because that dream just felt too real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.

>Gun
Clearly you are absent of creativity

If you go to Balamb Garden now, it would already be overflowing with Anons who went earlier and have fucked all the girls there.

>have the perfect Harry Potter-esque "School of mercenaries, guns and magic" setting at the start of the game
>you graduate within the first 30min
>game becomes a wild goose chase over some thot with a dog and an evil witch
man they should've made the Balamb Garden merc school thing 3/4 of the game and it would've been better.

Still my favorite FF game though.

Be sure to equip your GF before going into battle.

I agree actually

Gay romance in space is far more appealing than forcing Rinoa onto Squall's dick Rinoa with an overlarge sword doing Laguna's pose in battle Seifer launching his dog with a much larger version of whatever the fuck Rinoa was using. possibly a canon now. That awkward concert date but its Seifer instead of Rinoa

I think you might be a genius, user
