Yeah, that’s right: Screw your fancy new PS5 Final Fantasies — devout Final Fantasy 8 fan Phil Salvador decided to launch a website dedicated to what he views is the best Final Fantasy, one full of very funny articles and impassioned arguments.
In his day job, Salvador works as library director of the Video Game History Foundation, which means he is continually finding and cataloging old games publications and unusually aware of how games like Final Fantasy 8 were received, discussed, and promoted. That, coupled with his deep and abiding love for the game and a penchant for weird URLs (like https://bit.ly/3V2OHKC), meant that Salvador had more than enough gas in the tank to fuel a whole website in his free time.
Recently, I met with Salvador over video chat to talk about his new site, which he still cannot believe has taken off to the point that he’s being interviewed about it.
