My Final Fantasy

One of my fondest memories growing up is playing video games, Back when i was little i used to play on my Nintendo's Family Computer (i bet some of you remember that particular early console) and some of the many cartridges (yes, we call them cartridges) i used to play are Contra, Ice Climber and of course who could ever forget Super Mario, and as years go by my gaming instinct still searches for more, until when i was in college have i discovered a game that became a big part of my life.

The second installment of the Final Fantasy Franchise (the first was Final Fantasy 7) Final Fantasy 8 was released 1999 directed by Yoshinori Kitase developed by Square Co., Ltd. it was a dream come true to play this wonderful game. I quickly became attached to the the many characters of the game particularly the main character himself, Squall Leonheart. The game revolves around issues such as war, friendship, family and Love which is why the game became a complete success.

I can never get enough of this fantastic game so thats why I'm giving it a special tribute here, thanks to TheBigLT of Youtube i managed to find this video consisting of the first 11 cutscenes of the game:

1. Opening (Liveru Fatali)
2. Quistis
3. Balamb Garden
4. Zell Dincht
5. Dollet Assault
6. Selphie Tilmitt
7. The Communication Tower
8. Robot Chase (part 1)
9. Robot Chase (part 2)
10. Rinoa Heartilly
11. Rinoa and Squall at the Dance

This is just Part 1 of the 7 compiled cutscenes from Final Fantasy 8 game, and now i leave you with the most famous quotes from the beginning of the game:

"I'll be here..."
"Why...?"
"I'll be 'waiting'... here..."
"For what?"
"I'll be waiting... for you...so... if you come here... you'll find me."
"I promise."

-a tribute to the resident evil series

there's just one thing on my mind
the very one thing that have kept me alive
the only thing that i can do at the moment
until the remaining ounce of strength deserts me.
i have to keep pushing,
i need to keep on running,
even though the streets looked the same,
every corner, every alley
covered with a chilling darkness
as it seeps through your skin.
they can smell your fear.
they wanted to have a taste of your flesh
but i shouldn't give in
i desperately need to live
but there's no escaping them
every turn that i take
i know that they are there
they lurk in the shadows
they see through the cracks
they are just there
just waiting,
waiting for me to get tired
waiting for me to take a breath
waiting for me to stop.
death arrives on scorched wings
i thought i was safe, for a moment
but it was a mistake
as footsteps draws closer and closer
dragging on with their dead bodies.
i tried to outrun their insatiable hunger
but i was pinned down
slumped to the ground
their cold hands maneuvered over my body
tearing off my skin as i scream.
piece by bloody piece
they gorge themselves
they are eating me alive
i was gurgling as they rip through me
blood spurts from my mouth
from then on i knew
that my terrible fate have been sealed
i wasn't meant to survive
i was just one of their food.
