FFVIII was released in 1999. It has been re-released for additional platforms more recently, but there were no changes other than platform compatibility that I'm aware of. Some characters from FFVIII have appeared in other more recent Final Fantasy franchise games (e.g. Dissidia, Kingdom Hearts) but as the plots of those games are not at all related to the plot of VIII I believe they are separate canons.
