I turned the controller on, started the launcher, and then went into the settings and selected controller. It doesn't respond to any button presses. The green indictator light is on, so I know the controller is working. This isn't just some cheap no brand controller either, it's a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, so I can't understand why it doesn't recognize it

I just tried it making sure it was on before I started the game. Nothing. Acts like there isn't even a controller connected. However, I can exit the game, start a completely different game, and the controller works just fine, so it's not the controller. It's the game

Is there anyway to use a controller with FF8 (Preferably the wireless Xbox 360 controller)? My controller works with other games, but FF8 doesn't seem to recognize it at all

Would there be anyway to either completely eliminate the time limit imposed by the game, or at least maybe freeze it? I know some people like the time limit, but when I play an RPG, I like to grind, and explore, and take ALL the time I need/want to see everything in the game. Some people can go through a game in 10 hours, and that same game will take me 40 or 50 hours.
