One of my personal favourites.
The 'Review Deck' says it all, I've yet to play a game that'll ever beat Final Fantasy VIII for me. It's not to everyone's taste, that's understandable, but Squaresoft have made THE game for me. Final Fantasy is a leg... Read Full Review

A passable story combined with VERY broken gameplay.
To begin, I joke around about this game being sexist. It's not seriously, but the female chars. in this game, for the most part, suck. (I mean, in FFX, Yuna is the second best char., next to of course Auron.) There is al... Read Full Review

Nonsense story, non-dimensonal characters, infuriating out of place mini games and probably the worst battle system.
Where to begin with this mess of a game; I guess I would have to start with the cover and logo for this final fantasy which I originally saw when I was around 12 or 13. My impression then was that the story was about tw... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy VIII is perhaps the most experimental game in the series, and it succeeds for the most part.
NOTE: This review was written by me over 10 years ago. I managed to dig it up from the void, and now I'm sharing it with the world! ***************** SquareSoft's Final Fantasy series is arguably the most popular RP... Read Full Review

This is simply my 2nd favorite video game of all time. The story is amazing, the characters are well developed, etc :)
Just play it and see. Final Fantasy 7 is overrated to no end but the 8th game is fairly underrated. FF8 added a very unique "Junction System." Basically this Junction system allowed you to "Junction" magic to your Stats ... Read Full Review

Reminds you of the days when Squaresoft reigned supreme.
My second favorite Final Fantasy after IX. Just like all final fantasy games this one does well at drawing you in early and keeping you there till the end. The graphical improvement over 7 also makes it an easier titl... Read Full Review

Just know this, Final Fantasy VIII is a game truly of its own class.
Square's (now SquareEnix) into 3D RPGs was one of the greatest things to ever happen to them and to RPGs. Their entry into 3D RPGs was their game called Final Fantasy VII. This game was revolutionary in every way, from t... Read Full Review

I found myself not caring what happened. *some spoilers in here*
Of all of the Final Fantasy games I've played, this one was the worst. I had tried to play it in the past and I had not enjoyed it. I thought it was because I had been too young to understand it, but when I bought it aga... Read Full Review

"Shut your damn mouth Chicken-Wuss!"
Good: -The writing is at least as complex as FF7 if not moreso, and the periodic tie-ins with Laguna's story is compelling. -Most characters look and act more mature than traditional RPGs and have distinct personalitie... Read Full Review
