How FF VIII shaped me as a designer 25 years later


I could write a massive email that no one would read, detailing all the little nuances and micro-interactions I remember from Final Fantasy VIII. But let’s be honest, you probably wouldn’t want to read that, right?

Instead, here’s a simpler takeaway: FFVIII (for those in the know) was released in 1999, and the UI is still amazing. The little sounds when selecting options, and the navigation through countless menus, all left something on me that I will never forget.

And who remembers this?
"What is your name?"
"I don't know"
