FF8 has shown some great improvements and downfalls since the other Final Fantasies.  Some major improvements were the graphics.  Since the first Final Fantasy all the way to 7 there have been cartoonish graphics, but 8 definitely impmroved in...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game has got to be the best Final Fantasy game I've ever played (besides X).  Sure in the beginning it can be kinda slow when you have to draw magic from all those enemies, but it can really help you if you take your time and do lots of random...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

After the success of FFVII, squaresoft was in a odd postition.  Now Final Fantasy was a mainstream name brand, and the next title was sure to have heaps of hype.  So what we got was the aptly titled Final Fantasy VIII, probably the most...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Of all of the FF series, I am sorry to say that this is my least favorite.  Not that the graphics are bad, or the FMV aren't cool but the game just leaves me wanting more.  I finished it, too, I didn't cop out before the end.  I rode this...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Many people hate FFVIII because of its melodaramatic story and easy gameplay.  But in more ways than one, it is more polished than FFVII in more ways than one.

The dance sequence near the beginning of the game is a killer way to grab your interest in the story.  If ever there was to be an awesome love story in a game that actually was developed fully, it was FF8.

Yet another masterpiece by Square as everything from the refreshingly distinct battlesystem to the fascinating story is all beautifully conveyed in this RPG.  With that said, welcome to the world of Final Fantasy.

I don't see why so many people were disappointed with Final Fantasy VIII.  It is my favorite FF ever.  It is the most compelling, most polished game on the PSX and is a must for any RPG lover.

The Final Fantasies are some of the most respected games ever brought out.  But if there was one game that wasn't a must-buy, then this would be it. 
Don't get me wrong.  It is a very good game with excellent presentation, spectacular GF...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Final Fantasy VIII is a mediocre game.  When I heard that to use magic you have to use items, I was a little mad.  However, it's not that much of a problem.  Especially since you can junction the magic to your stats, and increase them.  Even though...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

Another outstanding game from Squaresoft.  While I didn't quite like it as much as the other two Playstation Final Fantasy games, it was still a great game.  The graphics were great with amazing FMV's, both not too bad even by today's standards.  ...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

I, unlike many, really enjoyed this game.  It definetly has strayed from previous FF's but still had all the familiar faces from the other games (i.e.  Mog, chocobos, Shiva).  I was bummed by the lack of a lot of weapons; most characters had maybe...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

This game is far better than most people would have you believe.  First of all, the cinema graphics are the best of the series (yes, including 10).  Not to mention their direction.  The Junction system is one of the most innovative used by the FFs,...    [ Read The Full Review... ]

While it doesn't have strong characters or plot of VII or IX, it does have some nice touches to make up for it.  The interactivity of some of the limit breaks was a nice addition.  The 'home-movie' at the end is well worth finishing the game for. ...    [ Read The Full Review... ]
