Final Fantasy VIII now available for PC

Square Enix… stop teasing us. We’re sure console players wouldn’t mind slightly HD enhanced releases of classic PS one Final Fantasy games too. Either way, for under $12, it may be worth it to just go to Steam and download a copy.

Check out the launch trailer, some screens and the announcement. It hasn’t aged well, but FFVIII is still one of the greatest classic Final Fantasy releases ever.
