That’s true. Music can be just as memorable as the gameplay, sometimes even more. A good soundtrack kind of “locks” the memories of the game in place, so whenever you hear it again, it takes you right back.

Oh my gooosh, an FFVIII reference! Yesss!!
Honestly... when I like one song from a game, I like almost all of the songs, or so many it's not worth linking them all. So, I'll just list the games of whose albums I like:
- Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (it's so calming, I listen to this all the time)
- Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
- Final Fantasy VIII
- .hack//GU
- NieR Gestalt
- NieR Automata
- Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
- Stardew Valley
Some specific singles:
- FFXIV: Hades' Theme, Sophia's Theme, "La Hee" (most of the Shadowbringer songs tbh)
- FFVII: Cosmic Canyon (if I got the name right), Aerith's theme, Victory Fanfare
- Ookami: I can't remember the names of them, but there are certain ones I really like from this game, too
- Cyberpunk 2077: I really want to go to your house, all the ambient tracks, Night City, West Coast till I die

FFVIII is like one of the greatest games ever to grace the Earth and I still don't get it why fans of rpgs alike hate the game so much, so much so they'd wish it was never added into the franchise. what gives?
To me it has the best story ever, character developments that are very dynamic. And gosh, even the Eyes on Me is very heartwarming

Yeah, I feel like if they're an FF7 fan, it makes no sense as to why they're not an FF8 fan because they're in the same vein, but I think it's because the junction system is so broken. You have to break it very early on in order to beat the final boss, because the final boss literally eats all of your magic of certain levels depending on your level. I managed to keep my level at 13, and it was still brutal. Took me over an hour to beat. But even with that, the story is brilliant: agreed, it's one of the best stories ever with fantastic character development.
I really wish SE would give it a proper remake with a more user-friendly combat system (and NOT Kingdom Heartify it /stares at Testuya with FF7R), because once they get past the junction system I bet others would love it.

I've got nothing to vent, I liked the junction so much, it satisfies my grind-crave gaming :>
And I also understand why they decided not to put a function where they can change their weapons and outfit. For me, it perfectly fits the idea of being a military and magic student. I've got only one complaint. Game is short, I could finish it, within 24 hours.
A remake is good too, but I'd rather they make a reboot. Make the world much larger. Like, more than a dozen Gardens, so players can really feel competitive.
