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...

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...

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...

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...

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.
Story of FFVIII is simple and linear but thier are secrets that players can...

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.
Too bad I lost interest a...

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.
The story, like...

Note : This review was written for my small videogame airship website, http://mysite.verizon.net/vze20u4b/hangar, so it will focus on the airships more than on the human characters.

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.
To be honest, the game had to be good because it...

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...

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...

Although this Final Fantasy was my least favorite, I still iked a whole lot. This is mainly due to the futuristic theme and the steller graphics that still amaze me to this day. The battle system is extremly similar to that of FFVII's, but I...

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. ...

Those of you who thought squaresoft took a odd turn when they changed the systems from 6 to 7, they really went insane when they changed it yet again for 8. The system they use here is compleatly innane and complicated. The story it's self has a...

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...

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,...

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. ...

No RPG series creates the anticipation and high expectations that Final Fantasy does. With each release, Square is expected to surpass every other title on the market and set a new high-water mark for RPG's. Congratulations Square, you've managed...

This is my favorite FF game. And no, I'm not ashamed at that fact, so all you old schoolers can keep your rants to yourself. This game was truly amazing and I loved everything about it. It had incredible graphics at the time, great musc...

Final Fantasy 8 was a dissapointment to me. When I got it I was very excited to be playing the latest FF game. I was let down. It isn't as much like the other FF games as I hoped it was going to be. Sure the music, graphics and FMVs are...

I like this game a lot. It's not necessarily "Final Fantasy" in terms of fitting in with the series norm, but it's still better than 90% of all other games out there. Most of the Guardian Forces are in what I still see as my favorite incarnations...
