Final Fantasy VIII Accomplishments

After playing FFIV, I got the craving to play other Final Fantasy games. So, I found VI from the Anthology and borrowed 8 and 9 from friends. I focused on 8 first because I liked that one the best out of the three. I also wanted to conquer some old demons from that game. Mainly, Omega Weapon and that damn robot in the beginning of the game. When this game first came out, I was 8, so my RPG skills weren't as polished as they are now. So, when I got to that damn robot in the beginning, I didn't hold back and I whipped his ass with 4 and half minutes to get my ass out of there. I felt a sense of accomplishment because my friend, who is the "best" FFVIII player there is, never beat him. It felt nice to say I had that over him. But, that wasn't all I had over him. I finally beat Omega Weapon, after 9 long years. Luck is a huge factor in that fight. Squall's limit breaks come up random, but he pulled off 4 Lion Hearts in that battle, back-to-back twice! It went Lion Heart, Lion Heart, Blasting Zone, Lion Heart, Lion Heart. This was after 5 tries of trying to get a limit break from him. After those hits, Squall somehow survived Terra Break, which I thought was impossible. and ended the battle with a Rough Divide of all moves to end it with. I was relieved to see Omega start shaking and then dissolve into nothing. What I like about this game is that they give you something called Proof of Omega, which basically tells other people you beat the hardest boss in the Final Fantasy 8 world. Thank you Square Soft for reminding me of that hard ass battle. Well, I guess 9 is next. 9, for me, was a lot harder than 8 so I'm looking forward to the challenge. Well, I just wanted to tell others that Omega was beaten by me. Oh, and Persona 4 is only 2 months away! 2 more months until I whip some demons ass!

Also, I'll be 18 in 3 days! I glad I beat Omega Weapon before than because I could be getting a Xbox 360for my birthday this year! And I wouldn't be playing FF8 if I had Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey to play. Well, I probably still would!
