The complaints are usually about the tedium of the draw system , which is a fair point though there are other, better ways to acquire magic, the junction system being easily "abusable" which is certainly not true for a first playthrough, or that they simply don't understand the story.

Between 2-3x the length depending on how much much optional content you do, or if you go through hard mode. I'd saying to expect to invest somewhere between 120-200 hours in Rebirth, where as Remake 70-80 could possibly cover plat-ing the game.

Yes, Final Fantasy VIII (FF8) uses a turn-based system, specifically the Active Time Battle (ATB), where a timer fills up for each character; when full, it's their turn to act, but if you're too slow, the timer keeps running, and you might miss a turn or have enemies act first, making it feel faster than traditional pure turn-based games but still turn-based in nature.

What is the aaaa game?

An AAAA (Quadruple-A) game is a marketing term for video games that aim to surpass standard AAA titles in budget, scope, and production, representing the absolute pinnacle of development with massive teams, cutting-edge technology, and huge marketing, though the definition is unofficial and often used to justify higher prices, with examples like Ubisoft's Skull and Bones being called AAAA. While AAA signifies high-budget blockbusters, AAAA suggests an even grander scale, often involving live-service elements, extensive development, and proprietary engines.
