    [Final Fantasy] VI included a lot of elements that each department on their own, just on a whim, wanted to include, so they just included it, while VIII is much more calculated and strategized. VII is a mix of that, where it’s both calculated and kind of an at-a-whim type of development.

    FFVI and VII are both great while VIII mostly sucks ass thonk

      Yeah that part made me raise an eyebrow. Final Fantasy VIII is the one where you tightened down on the writing process? The game with possibly the biggest plotholes and most unbelievable contrivances in the entire franchise? Seriously?

        He's not talking about the quality or tightness of the overall plot but rather how prior to VIII there was less overall oversight and control over individual team members' contributions in terms of content and tone

        VIII is definitely more consistent throughout and has less random tangents with haunted ghost trains, opera houses, crossdressing or Chinese ninja villages
