Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy VIII is the 1999 Squaresoft RPG, the eighth main entry in the series. This is the Dutch market Platinum reissue on the SLES-02080 English-language master, released on 29 September 2000 in a Multiway Jewel Four Disk case with Hologram B on the case and a four-disc set inside. The barcode is 0711719194026. The Platinum reissue marks the title’s transition into Sony’s budget range less than a year after launch, an unusually rapid turnaround that reflects the game’s substantial commercial reach. Within the nineteen-variant PAL catalogue, this Dutch Platinum sits alongside the parallel UK Platinum on the same master and is reliably identified by the localised printed matter and the recorded EAN.
