Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy VIII is the 1999 Squaresoft RPG, the eighth main entry in the series. This is the German Platinum reissue on the SLES-02082 master, released on 29 September 2000 in a Multiway Jewel Four Disk case with Hologram B on the case and a four-disc German-language set inside. The barcode is 0711719194323. The Platinum issue arrived less than a year after the German Original, reflecting the unusually rapid budget cycle Sony applied to the title across PAL territories. Within the nineteen-variant catalogue, this German Platinum sits alongside a later PSP Hologram reprint on the same master and the differentiation between them is by case sticker rather than disc content.
