Which digital format of Final Fantasy VIII should I buy for PC? An Account or a Steam Key ?

The account format is cheaper but has a more complicated activation process compared to a simple key or code. It may also cause access issues in the future, which is why we only recommend it to users who are familiar with this format or have used it before. If you’re looking for a simpler and safer activation process and don’t mind paying a bit more, we recommend buying the Steam Key format.

If I buy the account format of Final Fantasy VIII , will the store provide all the activation instructions?

Yes, stores that sell this format usually guide users through the entire activation process, and if any issues arise, they offer customer support services. And if they don’t help, don’t worry—we’re here to assist you too.

Can I return a digital game for PC?

Some digital formats allow returns under certain conditions.

The store does not send my order and does not respond to support. What can I do?

Don't worry, we have the solution. We will handle it ourselves.

The final price is higher than indicated.

Many stores add payment fees, taxes,... in the cart. So be prepared to spend a little more.

I'm desperate: They don't send me the game, the store ignores me. I think I've lost my money.

Calm down, don't panic. Contact us and we will help you resolve it as soon as possible.

Q: Why is the Steam Key of Final Fantasy VIII safer than the account format?

The Steam Key format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Final Fantasy VIII to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

How much does Final Fantasy VIII for PC cost right now?

Final Fantasy VIII for PC starts at €4.16 at Gamivo, a Steam key.

No day in our records has it been cheaper than today.

That €4.16 already includes the GCDKGamivo coupon, so apply it at checkout or the store will show you a higher price.

With 23 offers across 14 stores there is enough competition for the price to move, so the gap between the cheapest and the rest is worth checking before you buy.

Is it worth buying the Steam Key for Final Fantasy VIII now or waiting?

That €4.16 key is at one of its best prices.

Those €4.16 are 20% below what it usually costs, measured on the store price.
14 stores sell the Steam Key at the same time, and with that much competition the price moves almost daily.
Not counting today, only 210 days out of the 2,567 days on record were this cheap or cheaper; the lowest it has ever cost is €3.49.

At this price it is worth buying the Steam Key now: what you stand to gain by waiting is a few euros, and it is not guaranteed.

Worked out from 4,066 daily records of the Steam Key for Final Fantasy VIII across 21 stores. See the full price history.

The price does not include each store's payment fees. The percentage is measured on the store price, without coupons, because that is how we record the history. The analysis only counts Key offers. Shared accounts, Steam Gift and physical editions stay out, because they are not the same product and their prices move differently.

Which Final Fantasy VIII format should you buy?

The cheapest offer is already a key for your own account: €4.16 at Gamivo, so there is no reason to weigh up a shared account here.

The 1 Steam Gift offers are pricier than the key and leave more room for error, because they depend on the region and on Steam friendship.

Can you activate Final Fantasy VIII in US?

16 of the 23 offers work on US — the Global ones plus the ones issued for your own region.

It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the \'lone wolf\', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while Seifer lacks the discipline of his rival. However, a chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly turns Squall\'s universe upside down; having thrived on discipline, Squall find the carefree Rinoa fascinating. He also begins to dream that he is Laguna Loire, a Galbadian army soldier…
