Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 8 Remastered will release on September 3rd. In order to celebrate this announcement, the publisher released a brand new trailer that you can find below.
In Final Fantasy 8, Squall and other members of SeeD, an elite mercenary force, join hands with Rinoa, a resistance fighter. Squall and his squad will fight against Galbadia’s tyrannical rule and will try prevent Edea from fulfilling her ultimate goal.
This remaster version of Final Fantasy VIII will feature multiple enhancements including additional options to customize your gameplay experience and difficulty. For example, some of these options are battle assist options, game speed boost and no random encounters.
Furthermore, the PC version will most likely offer some exclusive options. These options are:
- Acquire all Items, Abilities, Special Moves and Triple Triad cards
- Max GF level, Gil, and Magic
- Highly customizable system settings
Lastly, the game is not available for pre-order. Not only that, but the game will have a separate Steam page. Therefore, you should not purchase the Final Fantasy 8 game that is currently available on Steam (that’s the original and not the remastered version).
Enjoy!

So do I get a discount for owning the original?
Yes, SE will put one less finger in your rear end.
Sorry for being sarcastic, but couldn’t help myself :).
No worries, I am fully expecting to get fisted! Never expect any less from AAA developers.
ROFL, indeed…
Remastered? Is that what the dumb f**ks at SE call it when they merely get an EXE to run on a modern OS? Remaster….. LOL Ok.
Are you not intelligent? FF8 already runs great on modern hardware.
But THIS is NOT a remaster…. It is just a f***** cash grab…
this is more of an upconvert then a remaster. Adding bars to the side to make the fmv widescreen and sharpening the character models is no fkn remaster
LMAO, Square Enix and their “remastered” version! What a bunch of greedy f***.
Rubbish game. Rubbish remaster. Perfection.

Lmao!
