We seriously need more FF final dungeons to be like this.

FF3 had an epic final dungeon as you guys know *laughs*
FF5 had a great final dungeon area, lots of bosses and it felt like a real journey to The Void
FF6 was pretty atmospheric
FF7 was atmospheric and felt like a trek to the Lifestream part of the planet's core

Then we have FF8 which was a arguably one of the best. Maybe not as loved or iconic as say FF7's final dungeon but FF8 really nailed it for the final dungeon area.

Great music
puzzles, exploration, rooms and unique enemies and bosses
exciting final boss

All made for a great dungeon.

What are your thoughts on the final dungeon of FF8 and do you think it is one of the best in the FF series?
Would you like to see a return for more final dungeons like this in future games?

Despite what I thought of 8 ultimecias castle was cool. Fighting bosses to get your powers back was awesome. Although some things were stupid like pressing all the buttons at the same time to open the bar doors. The music was eh.

I don't think I can have honest discussions about this game, seeing as it's my All-Time Faves.

But I do whole heartily agree that this final area was fantastic. It actually is one of the few Final Fantasies where I look forward to the ending, instead of dreading it.

I would also like to say, for the record, that the end dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV are also super fun, the first time going through them. After that first time, they are still enjoyable dungeons to play with others, but they don't hold up in the long-term like Ultimecia's Castle.

TIL: That the C is Ultimecia was originally supposed to be pronounced as K, turning my whole world upside-down. I grew up saying "Ulti-Meh-Sia", and then hearing people say "Ulti-me-sha" really threw me off.

Also, in Dissidea ,they do pronounce it Ulti-Me-Sha, but I don't count that at all.

That's the beauty and curse of voice actors. sometimes they get it right, othertimes they take their own liberties.

ULTIMEKIA? ULTI-MEKYA? ULIMIKAIA? I don't know what's real anymore. Black is east and up is white.

People saying Tie-dus, instead of Tee-dus, is a weird peeve of mine, and from someone who couldn't care less about his pronounciation, it does bother me

... I think I need help.

It's one of the great epic dungeons in the Final Fantasy. I really enjoyed it in my last playthrough because it was the only section of the game that gave me a challenge. I did a low level playthrough and abused the Junction system so much. Despite that, the last dungeon was still tricky.
