What is it?
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is a refreshed version of one of the greatest RPGs ever. An epic story based on the theme of love, set in a massive new world, Final Fantasy VIII features nearly an hour of cinemas seamlessly integrated into gameplay. A member of an elite military team, Squall, is forced into a conflict beyond imagination. To survive, he must contend with a desperate rival, a powerful sorceress and his own mysterious dreams.

Gameplay
Final Fantasy VIII consists of three main modes of play: the world map, the field map and the battle screen. The world map is a 3D display in which the player may navigate freely across a small-scale rendering of the game world. Characters travel across it in a variety of ways, including by foot, car, Chocobo, train and airship. The field map consists of controllable 3D characters overlaid on one or more 2D pre-rendered backgrounds, which represent environmental locations such as towns or forests. The battle screen is a 3D model of a location such as a street or room, where turn-based fights between playable characters and CPU-controlled enemies take place. There is also the usual suite of minigames and optional extras.

Graphics
The remaster features high-definition graphics and improved character models, produced in collaboration with Dotemu and Access Games. This iteration is based on the Windows version utilising the original 240 pre-rendered backgrounds of the PS1 option, upscaling to modern resolutions at the cost of image fidelity. In the process of adding new models, several changes have been made with different hairstyles on some characters and slight alterations to summons.
