Final Fantasy VIII Remastered now digitally available

The wait is finally over. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered is now digitally available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Final Fantasy VIII was orginally released on the PlayStation back in 1999 and the PC version was released a year later. For a long time it was the Final Fantasy that didn't receive a remastered version.

The remastered version includes the following boosts to enhance the experience:

• Battle Assist: The ability to always have maxed out HP and ATB, and trigger Limit Breaks at any time.
• No Encounters: An enemy encounter option that allows players to enjoy the storyline uninterrupted. While enemy encounters are turned off, players can still enjoy the story event battles.
• 3x Speed Boost: Play through the game with three times the speed.
• The Steam version will also receive additional functions, including All Items (possess all items except for a few certain items), All Abilities, GF Max Level, Max Gil, Max Magic, All Limit Breaks, and All Cards (possess max number of Triple Triad Cards except for Rare Cards).

You can get the digital version of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered for $19.99 / £15.99 / €19.99.
