What if Final Fantasy 8 had trophies?
I came up with that specific thought because FF7 was re-released this week with achievements. And then I thought, what if FF8 has achievements? Then a surge of ideas came out of my mind, hence, this post. But before I name my trophies, I just want to point out that the achievements in FF7 re-release are so lame.รย If Square-Enix wanted to milk this re-release, they might as well put more challenging achievements, right? Let’s say, Defeating the weapons individually will get you a bonus or something. I mean, seriously is that too much to ask? I’d suggest they added more twists in some of the achievements like รขโฌหBeat Emerald weapon without KOTR รขโฌ™ or something to that extent.
Geez, also consider that FF7 is already more than a decade old, gamers can easily go through the achievements effortlessly. Anyway, enough of FF7, letรขโฌ™s talk about FF8 if it has achievements.
So letรขโฌ™s start the list.

Some of you might think that some trophies are too hard or insane (especially the hidden golds), but thatรขโฌ™s the point of achievements right? If you played FF13, there are lots of insane trophies there. FF8 has a lot to offer when it comes to missions, character, stories, sidequests and etc. So I just included whatรขโฌ™s hypothetical in my opinion.
So hereรขโฌ™s what weรขโฌ™re going to do, remember the last time you played FF8? Take a look back on the list and count how many trophies you got or maybe you got a suggestion for the achievement? Sound off at the comments section!
