Pros: stunning graphics and video
Cons: poor story, obfuscated plot

Well, like the rest of the RPG world, I remember waiting with baited breath for Final Fantasy VIII to be released. When it was, I snatched it up quickly and dove into it, awaiting the roleplaying experience of a lifetime from the makers of some truly...

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.
The...

Pros: musical score and CGI
Cons: everything else!!!!!!!!

Now that FF8 has become one of PSX's "Greatest Hits" along with FF7, I think it's a good time to say my piece. Well, I'll be honest and say that I did not purchase nor played FF8 until the price drop to 20 bucks.

I am a GREAT fan of...

Pros: Great Story line
Cons: Magic Gathering

Here is another game that I give thumbs up to Playstation. As a sci-fi writer, I really like the story line and the characters are great. That Rhinoa Heartly, man I tell you that's one heck of a chick. I enjoyed the movie clips that were thrown into...

Pros: Excellent graphics, great theme song
Cons: Poor storyline, uninteresting characters

I bought this game on the day it came out in Japan. I was hoping for a great game complete with interesting characters and an engaging storyline. That's not what I found.

This is a hard game to beat. Not because of any tough bosses (of which...

Pros: tutorials, challenge, originality
Cons: none

Final Fantsay 8 is an incredible game. I originally bought it because i loved FF7 so much. Every review i read about the game gave it 4 or 5 stars, out of 5 stars. If you like RPG's (Role Playing Games), you will love Final Fantasy 8. This game...

Pros: Artistically done, graphically gorgeous.
Cons: Tedious battle and equipment systems.

When you ask that question regarding Square's latest installment in the long running Final Fantasy series, the answer has to be no.

Yes, the game is graphically beautiful, the sound is astounding.
And the plot and story is complex and...

Pros: Story, Graphics, FMV's, Music, and Characters are all EXCELLENT!!!
Cons: The battles system....way too complicated.

I started playing Final Fantasy at its seventh sequel. So you may say I don't know much about Final Fantasy all in all. What I do know is that this game has one of the most intricate and interesting stories. I like the twists they build up and how...

Pros: good graphics
Cons: almost impossible to play without a guide

The first of the Final Fantasy series I ever played was 7, and I loved it. After enjoying the game so thoroughly, I looked forward to the coming Final Fantasy Eight and was all set to buy it as soon as it hit the stores. I was, like many others on that...

Pros: great graphics
Cons: Cant latch on to charecters

How many people bought FFVIII thinking it was more like FFVII? I know I bought it because i loved FFVII, i still love it to this day. When Squaresoft made FFVII they focused on the story, and building a bond between charecters, but in FFVIII they focused...

Pros: Great story, graphics, and sound...
Cons: Junction system sucks, to envolved a game for casual people

First of all, let me say that I loved Final Fantasy VII. That game was the peak of console roleplaying. That said, I expected Final Fantasy VIII to be an improvement, but basically the same. THis is where I went wrong.
Don't get me wrong,...

Pros: The cd's make good frisbees and/or coasters.
Cons: Everything else.

I really tried to like this game. I squeezed out liking FF5. I even managed to like FF7. But this game... it's the one that just couldn't make it. One of the first things I noticed about this game was how boring and unlikeable the main characters in the...

Pros: Graphics are amazing
Cons: Storyline isn't the best.

This game i have to say, I was very excited. I preordered it early, because of how much i loved FF7. This was supposed to blow FF7 away. They were wrong, this was a good game, but can't live up to the name of Final Fantasy. Great cinema, great...

Pros: Over all exellence
Cons: I get to attached to characters

I am a huge fan of rpg's and have been playing them all my life.Being an avid player of the final fantasy series I've come to enjoy the series of changes it's come through.Gameplay and options are astounding,my curiosity of the the different kind of...

Pros: Very Challenging, Great Graphics, excellent gameplay
Cons: Poorly developed plot

Final Fantasy. The name is imbedded on the minds of all RPG gamers. Thinking of it causes flashbacks of monsters, heroes, villains, challenges and all around fun. Final Fantasy 8 may not have met the high expectations that were held for it,...
