VIII didn't click with me until I played it on 3DS with the quality of life improvements they added (enemies on the field, faster animations etc.) but unfortunately it looks like crap compared to other versions. A shiny new 4K remaster with the improvements from the 3DS version would be nice.

It’s very episodic in structure, yes, with each new area having its own arc. There is crossover at points but I’m sure you’d be ok once you finished whatever you were currently doing.
Do you remember how far you got? By the 50 hour mark you’d probably unlocked job switching, yeah?

Quick look at pricecharting and the US version of that is $350 CIB. You're still losing out! PAL wins with Monster Hunter Stories though.cosmicjellybean wrote:but why is my copy of ‘solatorobo’ now worth £100-150?
