Final Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.

Should I stream FINAL FANTASY VIII on Twitch?

22/100 · Thin· 21 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two biggest English streams hold 92% of the 199 people watching FINAL FANTASY VIII in English, leaving about 16 for everyone else — and the category empties when they log off.

About 16 of the 199 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 3 each if you split it with the 4 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #3.

Most of the audience here is not watching in English, is committed to the biggest streams, or you would start too far down the list to be found.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Is FINAL FANTASY VIII too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 10 people are streaming FINAL FANTASY VIII, and the two biggest English streams hold 92% of the 199 English viewers — so the room is quiet because the audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
