The best FF?

by rebel316 , Jan 16 '00
Pros: gameplay, battle system
Cons: storyline
Not in my opinion. I find this game's story line somewhat hard to follow. It is a great game and all, but lacks a good storyline, and what good a rpg without a good storyline? The game is like any other Final Fantasy game; great graphics, good...

An Artistic Breakthrough

by scrptrjn316 , Nov 30 '01
Pros: Awesome graphics, lots of excitement, interesting side quests & card game
Cons: High difficulty level, junction system (see below)
I was amazed when I saw FF8's graphics (having been used to the Super Nintendo versions). The characters were startlingly life-like and the rest of the graphics were also very realistic.
The main characters are Squall, a moody military academy...

A great time to get it!

by aindovin , Sep 21 '00
Pros: everything is great. LOVE the movies
Cons: little fight heavy. Story a little confusing
This can now be found for $19.99 brand new, and it is a must have for adventure enthusiests. For newcomers, its great to pick up as well. This story stands alone from all the rest (as does FFVII) so you wont be missing out on anything.

FFVIII #1

by MrNelson007 , Feb 10 '00
Pros: Lots of side quests, addictive card game, interesting magic system, lots of character control.
Cons: Short.
Another excellent addition to the Final Fantasy saga from Squaresoft. Admittedly a tad short, but its many redeeming qualities help you to forget about that easily.

There is an excellent storyline, complete with a nice cast of characters that...

Final Fantasy 8:Fact or just plain dumb!

I purchased this game because I had just finished with the game that set the standards for all roleplaying games,Final Fantasy 7.At the time I purchased the game it was fifty dollars.It was a small price to pay for such an intense game.I'm 14 years old...

Final Fantasy getting better

by gotpoop , May 16 '00
Pros: Great Graphics and Music
Cons: Draw option made the game too easy
Final Fantasy 8 is just as good as the other Final Fantasies before it. Some may see its not as good as Final Fantasy 7 but I think its just as good. The graphics and music is no doubt terrific, nothing but quality coming from square soft. The story is...

fans should not pass this one up.

by angryrobot , Jan 02 '01
Pros: everything a fan wants!
Cons: some of the changes detract from the depth of the series.
Seeing as this game came out a little over a year ago, any hardcore fans have no doubt taken the two or so months out of their lives for this game already. but if you haven't picked up last years Final Fantasy installment you should definately do so now....

Square Soft continues to outdo itself with each new game in this Play Station series for teens.

Excellent, great graphics

by abidiar , Jun 08 '00
Pros: great graphics great story line
Cons: too many monsters
The FMV sequences in this game make playstation look like more than a 32 bit system. The graphics are by far the best I've seen on an RPG, and I have been playing RPG's for a long time. The story line is brilliant, this game is a masterpiece. You, are...

Not quite FF7, still better than other RPGs!

by tobg , Apr 22 '01
Pros: A story to beat all stories Characters worth caring about Stunning animations
Cons: Too many random battles Combat is, as always, turn-based and offers minimal excitement
Notice the devisiveness of most of the customer reviews of this game... There is a reason for this; FFVIII is a definite love/hate title. It's rare that I find anyone who says "Eh, FFVIII was OK."

The 'thing' about FFVIII is, it strays away...

Final Fantasy 8? Good God.

by joshagreen , Jul 09 '00
Pros: The graphics are better than any other game there is.
Cons: It takes a long time to finish because it is four discs long.
How many will they make? 43. Geez. This game is the best one yet but 8. When will they stop? I know the games just keep getting better and better but 8 is a lot of sequels.

I like Final Fantasy 8 better than the rest because the graphics...

Greatest Final Fantasy?

by falconman , Jan 31 '00
Pros: Action, suspense, and engrossing gameplay
Cons: Hah!! None...
No, not really. For those who played Final Fantasy 7, you enjoyed the Playstation's best FF game. Don't get me wrong, FF 8 is hardly a bad game. Technically, FF 8 has superior graphics and cut scenes than any prior FF game. The video direction is...

Not as good as the rest.

by RyanD004 , Apr 15 '00
Pros: Good graphics
Cons: slow story and annoying main character
Final Fantasy 8 was good,but not half as good as final fantasy 7. Squall, the main character, is a soldier in training at Balamb Garden (gardens are basically big schools). The idea behind the game is fun, but veterans of the final fantasy series may...

RPG of the year? Not quite

by DarkEclipse , Nov 25 '99
Pros: Beautiful graphics, excellent sound and music, good storyline
Cons: Reliance on GFs is just too great, no more buying weapons and armor
I know there are people out there who will rip my head off for this opinion but then again, it's just an opinion so don't go psycho over it. Don't like it, don't listen to it, simple as that :). Final Fantasy 8, the latest installment in its series has...
