Final Fantasy VIII will join Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2, and XII on current consoles and PC, and it was confirmed to be returning at Square Enix’s E3 2019 press conference.

A few years ago, we ranked all the Final Fantasy games, and even though Final Fantasy VIII only made it to #11, we did say “The breathtaking opening sequence, the failed assassination plot on Sorceress Edea, and the battle between the Balamb and Galbadia Gardens are some of the most exciting and cinematic moments in all of Final Fantasy.”

Until September 3 rolls around, be sure to check out our original Final Fantasy VIII review, in which we said “It may not exactly convert anyone who’s never played an RPG before, but there’s enough magic here to make any true believer’s toes tingle,” and read on why our reveal reaction of the FF8 remaster were mixed.
