About

Final Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.

Frequently asked questions

Can I play Final Fantasy VIII on PC, Mac or Linux?
There is no known port for Windows, macOS and Linux yet.
Do I need the original game?
Your own copy of Final Fantasy VIII is still required. The projects rebuild only the code, and the art, audio and levels come from the copy you already own.
Is there a decompilation of Final Fantasy VIII?
Final Fantasy VIII Decompilation is a decompilation of Final Fantasy VIII. It turns the original machine code back into readable source, the groundwork most native ports are built on, but not something you play on its own.
Is anyone working on a port of Final Fantasy VIII?
Nobody has published one on RecompHub yet. Games people want that still have no port are listed under What to work on next.
