It may not be atop the most “classic” Final Fantasy game lists, but it has been more than 14 years since Final Fantasy VIII was first released on the Playstation 1, and 13 years since its first PC debut. Given the general unavailability of the game on anything other than the Playstation Network, this has prompted Square Enix to finally release the game via Steam as a digital download title on the PC at a price of $11.99.
Optimized for modern high-definition PCs and fully integrated with the Steam platform, this version includes a range of new features such as a Magic Booster that enables players to power up their spells, Steam cloud support, and 45 integrated achievements to encourage players to explore various facets of the game. Also included is the Chocobo World, previously unavailable to Western players on the original release.
