Final Fantasy VIII… As A Science Museum Exhibit

I was digging through my old photos and realized I almost forgot about this little nugget. Final Fantasy VIII was on display in the Hong Kong Science Museum. Aside from teaching kids about anatomy, both physiology and qi flow (very neat!), you can stop in the computer lab to play Final Fantasy VIII. What makes Final Fantasy VIII so special that it’s on display next to educational software? I’m not positive, but it might have to do with the theme song. Faye Wong who sung Eyes On Me is a Hong Kong pop star so there is a connection. It’s either that or someone beguiled the museum staff that the Seed exams were educational. All kids need to remember HP-J is a junction ability.
