Then: Age of Empires II / Final Fantasy VIII

Now: Final Fantasy VIII

Winhill is home, Balamp is the school and Deling City is where my friends and I would sneak out to and walk around on free days.
Quote this with your favourite game from 1999 NOW, and what your favourite was THEN (if you had one)

Localisations/expansions count, remasters/ports don't. Remakes depend.

Two-way ties count.

eu não lembro nem se tem alguma coisa pra fazer nesse lugar mais tarde no jogo com o squall e mesmo assim cada casinha em winhill é feita com tanto amor, todas tão aconchegantes

Nearly 3 hours up and down Win Hill in the Peak District, 9km distance, and half a km up (and then down again). I've earned this pint!

I'm honestly surprised nobody in Winhill pointed out Squall's resemblance to Raine during the party's visit.

He looks JUST like his mother. The resemblance is undeniable.

The residents there are flawed people, and Laguna's rosy memories paint an incomplete picture.

While you see hints of it during the Laguna bit, visiting the town with the main party confirms that the people of Winhill DESPISED Laguna and saw him as an outsider unworthy of Raine's time or attention.

Laguna idealized Winhill and his life with Raine there. Seeing it through his eyes during the Laguna story sequence, it makes sense that he'd view it in the best light possible.

However, when you visit it with the main group, you realize that Winhill is what it is: Just a small town.

One thing I find interesting in FFVIII is when you visit Winhill in the Laguna Sequence, the lighting is very warm and the whole town feels cozy and homey.

When you visit the actual town with the main party though, the lighting is a lot more dull and the colors are all washed out and grey.

Want to talk more about my FFVIII prequel and sequel now after showing Jack a specific Winhill Situation™️ from my sequel...... 👀

(re: Winhill Village)

Feel free to weigh in. This might be my favorite location in the game so far. The music is driving me a bit insane, but hey, you can't win 'em all. 🤷

Silpha met Zenith whom was resting under a tree outside Winhill.
Their first drawing together was sometime in 2012.

so she was required to be under the radar from the SeeDs mostly (basically, in this verse it was a side thing that edea, cid, laguna & odine led an excavation) and travel a LOT between edea's house, esthar, and winhill (she loves the kids there....)

but also, in the sequel it's a bit of a different take, they don't go to the DSRC either during base game in this verse, they do it AFTER. prior to the inaug. ball, BG gets reports on seismic activity affecting winhill + other towns, so the SeeDs head over to the DSRC... +

🎂 ¡Hoy es el cumpleaños de Squall Leonhart!

Raine dio a luz al hijo de Laguna en Winhill tal día como hoy, un 23 de agosto diecisiete años antes de los eventos de #FinalFantasyVIII.

El taciturno héroe se convertiría en el comandante del Jardín de Balamb y en Seed legendario.

The indications of the parentage of certain characters have been too sketchy for me to accept; it would be good to review/learn them. (I admit that I haven't paid much attention to the Winhill side quest.)

É Winhill de FF8 🤩

Following a gamefaqs walkthrough to try and figure out where in the gotdam I am in ff8, and first I try winhill, then trebia garden, then I scroll a bit further in the guide and it's just "go back to balamb". Fucking god damn it lmao

Putting aside little issues like monsters falling from the moon every now and then, FFVIII's prerendered backgrounds have me believing it would be a nice world to live in.

I love this quote so much! Very poignant and just the overall story surrounding Winhill, makes me emotional ;_;

Laguna in the war. Laguna embarrasing himself in Delling. The Adventures of Uncle Laguna in Winhill and how an absolute DORK scored a girl like Raine.
Please inject that shit in my veins.

set the vibes fantasize about abandoning a war you hate, starting your life over with a hot exasperated wife, a little orphan girl, the occasional feral bird, and the pseudo-Anglo-French countryside

Sale en varios lugares de manera aleatoria, uno cerca de Timber, otro Winhill y alguna zona más. Luego tienes que ir a una zona para derrotarlo, si no recuerdo mal tienes que tener unos cuantos elixires. No sé si te lo explique bien, porque no recuerdo los pasos exactos a seguir pero algo así era
