__Reads the summary on the first page__ Final Fantasy VIII surpassed its predecessor in many ways, but in the places where it lacked, it lacked HARD. True, it had great graphics, nice controls, and (my personal favorite) the fact that... [ Read The Full Review... ]

hmmm...it might be becuase i had just finished FF7 for the 3rd time right before playing this game, but i was rather dissapointed. i mean, its not a bad game at all, the graphics are nice and all, but the story and junction system just... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game was doomed to begin with trying to follow up the amazing success that was FFVII. It did not come close. While found the graphics and story to be well done, the gameplay itself got on my nerves after a while. As I don't... [ Read The Full Review... ]

FFV8 continues it's trend of quality roleplaying games. Final Fantasy VIII introduces the new innovative junction system which revolutionalizes the world of role playing. It can be very confusing and time consuming at first, but it is really an... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I live in a lonely world where I consider Final Fantasy VIII to be one of the best games in the series. Mind you, as a game, it suffers the same problems as every FF since the 6th. Everyone can eventually do anything. In fact, in this game,... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Final Fantasy VIII provided a new RPG experience when it was released. For its time, the graphics were revolutionary and battle system was very unique. In this game, summoning is extremely important to all aspects of the game, including... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		titchio	--	8/18/2006
Well. This sucked big time. Personally I couldnt understand how Squaresoft could drop quality so low after FFVII and so i only expected the best. Unfortunatley what came out was the silliest plotted, most boring RPG i have ever played. The game... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Streetballbandits (4 Trusters)	10	4/18/2006
When people here the term RPG, they usually think Final Fantasy. A lot of people hate final fantasies, but the fans of the series are usually die hards, and now I understand why. For whatever reason I never gave RPG's a chance. I love games with... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Another great final fantasy game. Good graphics (for a PS1 game...i mean.),great story, great...um, girls ;). Yup...almost everything is great...but it's not all amazing. You'll see what I mean in a second: to put it shortly, the words are: the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This is an edited version of my original Final Fantasy 8 Review. This includes how I feel about the game OVERALL, not just from the first 2 CD's. I beat the game about a month ago, and it is about time I did this. Final... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Breaking away from much tradition, Final Fantasy VIII tries new elements. Many people didn't like FFVIII due to the changes in the battle system. Traditionally characters would be able to equip...equipment. However in FFVIII the... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Final Fantasy VIII. One of, if not the most, anticpiated RPG of all time. It came after Square's greatest accomplisment in the FF series, so what is everyone expecting? Something better maybe? Well, 9-9-99 was that fateful day that everyone was... [ Read The Full Review... ]

Squaresoft does it again. With each iteration of FF, they seem to completely rework the game to create am entirely new experience. The plot is rather simple compared to the other epic FFs but that is in no way a bad thing. The entire game... [ Read The Full Review... ]

		Craig Snyder	10	4/11/2004
Final Fantasy VIII is just what I expected to follow up the legendary seventh installment of the series. FF8 brings a unique blend of new characters, all new systems (junctioning, GFs, etc), and all new, and even more beautiful, cinematics. Final... [ Read The Full Review... ]

This is the first Final Fantasy game I've played. In this game, the battles, and graphic has caught my attention. The cinemas were like the best in this game before FFX or X-2 came out. I also like the card game. It adds on to the side-quests... [ Read The Full Review... ]

I don't see why everybody thinks this is such a bad game. The storyline may not have been as good as sevens but the graphics were way better even though graphics aren't that important. I liked the materia system better too and drawing was long... [ Read The Full Review... ]

If there is one thing that went wrong with FF8 it was the fact that they tried to hype it up too much. The game was pretty good, but the fact that people expected allot more of it made them hate it. The battle system is pretty good, even if... [ Read The Full Review... ]
