Squaresoft's Final Fantasy 8 is widely considered one of the best Final Fantasy games ever made — and that is saying something, as it followed what is nigh-universally accepted as the absolute best installment in the franchise, Final Fantasy 7. Having garnered critical acclaim upon release, Final Fantasy 8 remains one that longtime fans often revisit to remind themselves of the glory days of Final Fantasy, and was even deemed popular enough to receive a remaster in 2019.
