A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

While I didn't play FF8 yet I can see why that would be the case.
I finished FF7 last year and while I did enjoy my time with it it's clear how much of a prototype, for lack of a better word, it is as far as 3D JRPGs are concerned. There's a lot of ambition there but also a feeling they weren't able (or ready) to pull all of it off at the time.
It didn't end up among my favorites and titles I tend to replay semi-regularly but I'm glad I got to play it in its original form.
