Final Fantasy VIII Remastered has a release date
After being considered the red-headed step child for a long time, Square Enix finally announced a remastering of Final Fantasy VIII and now we know when it is coming. The game will hit Switch, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on September 3.
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered celebrates its 20th anniversary by bringing the cherished RPG to modern platforms, featuring newly rendered visuals that bring the game’s beloved characters to life like never before. Players step into the shoes of SeeD recruit Squall Leonhart and resistance fighter Rinoa Heartilly as they work together to save the world from the military nation of Galbadia.
There have been a few tweaks to the game, apart from the visuals, for instance you can play the game at three times speed, meaning no more long wanderings or if you want, you can lose random encounters and just play for the story.
