[Please read before playing]

* Entering or leaving vehicles such as cars and the Garden may occasionally get your character stuck between the vehicle and terrain features, or freeze the vehicle in place. This seems to happen more often when you leave your vehicle in close proximity to impassable terrain, or when you try to enter or leave your vehicle during certain scripted events. Currently, the only fix for this is to reload a previously saved game, so please make sure to save your progress often.

* Some locations may be difficult to navigate using the Speed Boost (x3). We advise you to turn off this feature in such cases.

* Make sure to check the FAQ section of our support page for solutions to common issues:


We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may cause, and thank you again for your interest in our product.

## FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered Reviews in United States

### *---- "NEW “HARASSMENT” POLICY"
To those who may be as yet unaware, Square just put out a new policy taking a stand against harassment. They now reserve the right to refuse services or deny your right to purchase their products for engaging in behaviors that may exceed socially acceptable norms… but they have listed asking for “changes” to a game as an example.

I’m not kidding. Requesting a change be made may just be enough to get you SUED. That is also not an exaggeration! Square has specifically said they will pursue legal action, and their policy is vague enough that mere CRITICISM may be enough to land you in court if they don’t like what you have to say!

UNACCEPTABLE TO THE NTH DEGREE.
-- Gaymer93, 2025-01-12

### *---- "Scam"
Won’t even open past the opening screen
-- GrL Pony, 2025-01-07

### **--- "Great but…."
Card game never loads,tried many saves
-- Tim moody $$$, 2024-12-27

### ***** "Synchronized with my ps5 system"
One time I had them saved in thru backbone control how to merge game data from iOS to psp/ps5 controller
-- MjediMatrix, 2024-12-21

### *---- "Won’t load"
Not sure what’s happening.  iPhone 13 and phones updated but it won’t get past first loading screen.
-- Blankchicjen, 2024-12-05

### ***** "PlayStation remake"
I dig
-- Lux.33, 2024-10-20

### ***** "I really loved playing it on phone"
No complaints. None. Just a total blast and great story. Sure some people don’t like the nature of Ff8’s gameplay. It’s so unique, clever, yes you can exploit it… the risks they took, the story they told, the artwork they made, the music they composed… it’s just beautiful.
-- reidaawggggg, 2024-10-03

### ***** "6 hours in so far"
Seems great so far, enjoying a classic.
-- Bit user, 2024-09-10

### ***** "This Games Great"
Thought there was a bug in the game at Rinoa’s house but it was a user error. My apologies. Can finally continue the game :)
-- NuMarzz, 2024-07-19

### **--- "NO SOUND."
I would love to tell you about the gameplay, however despite the familiar gorgeous graphics in the opening there was no sound. 😫 Cmon man.
