THE BEST FF EVER.46860

Lianse from Paris says (27/Dec/2007):
  I love this Final Fantasy. It's my fave. :) It has that deep storyline that lures you in if you can understand it. To those who don't, Tsk Tsk. Those that can't beat the game just need a little patience and effort, but since they want to convince themselves that FF7 is the best, they put their controller down and grumble and complain about it.

To all the people who say the Junction systems sucks, it's probably because you don't like to think and use simple strategy. Honestly. And the storyline is perhaps one of the deepest ones ever, as the characters are not the same cliche' personalities. The characters have a unique backgrounds not like those in ordinary games. And besides, I don't even like that girl in FF7, whats-her-face, that girl who was so pathetic and died in the end. FF8 is so much better than FF7. I'm not exactly dissing FF7, it's still pretty good, but I don't honestly understand why people love it.It's not THAT great. Come on, I like FFX better than FF7. But honestly, all FFs are good and you shouldn't go insulting the storylines since I doubt you can make one that's as good as an FF story so there.

Whatever46438

anonomous one from USA says (22/Dec/2006):
  Since the reveiw Has to be 200 words i'll make it that. FF8 has really good CG's for the time it was made and for a ps1 game as well. The music was pretty good too. Well anyways, I never played FFVII but from the reveiws i heard, only losers and total dorks liked it. But hey i don't really know much about it do I. All i can say about that is it's probably a good game but who cares. I think people shouldn't get so worked up about things such as a video game. It's really lame when you think about it and it's immature. anyone in my opinion who has the time and patience to write a reveiw totally bombing one game and praising another is a dork. You may want to know why i chose to write one or you totally hate me right now for even writing one and telling you all this and it's because i thought it was needed. I think that Most FF games are kool including FFX-2. I know a lot of people thought it was stupid but I never really understood why. It's a game you try it once and see if you like it and it was the first FF game i played and i happened to like it. So (fill in blank) off FFX-2 haters!! Well I like FFVII and X-2 so now what FFVII lovers. Anyways I hit my limit on this reveiw.
Peace Out All

Best game ever made!46374

Nash from TN, USA says (6/Nov/2006):
  I have plade ff,1 ,2 ,4 ,5 , 7, 8, X, & X-2. My all time FAV. is 8 I can play this game none stop never get bored.only when I got to go to the bathroom. my favorite GF "Gardian Force" is Bahamut. I loved how they made em come out like that. Juctioning is very EZ to under stand."to me" just follow what they say. I liked the fighting style they hade for these games ff7 vs ff8. magic uses: hmmm I can say that they both have very good ways of use. stories of both games are very very very good. I loved final fantasy games, ALLL of them. I hope they never quit making these games. I hope they make a movie of ff8 like they did ff7 that movie is ASOME, just needed a little more magic use in it. now for all you guys n girls out there that don't like this game just fined some thing in it you like and stop complaing about it. Final Fantasy games rock! any one that don't like these games might not have played them. so im asking the ones who have not played these games to please grab a coppie sit down and play read undestand the game then tell what you like about it and don't just sit there n say that game looks stupid. take my word for it they are some pretty great games.

Far from the best45880

Jeremy says (30/Mar/2006):
  I would have to whole heartedly agree with masamunist on this one. From its weak storyline and character development to its horrible junction and fighting system, final fantasy 8 should be considered one of the worst in the series!
I mean, honestly, the big plot twist nearish the end (as retarded and unlikely as it was), was EXPLAINED AWAY WITH A SINGLE LINE OF TEXT. Seriously! This game is like playing a bad episode of Star Trek.
Leveling up GF's is Far Far Far Far Far too easy, and the rewards are pointless, and as for the never ending limit breaks.. thats just lame. Zell is the only saving grace for this game, but that might just be coming from my unhealthy obsession with Sabin from ff3.

honestly i'd rather poke out my eye and shove my thumb in my brain than play ff8.

I gave it a 3 only for these reasons:
1. Squall CONTINOUSLY gets the $#< remove me > at ! kicked out of him
2. Zell was an awesome throwback to sabin's blitz's
3. Blood in the opening cg.

Final fantasy 7 was head and shoulders above 8. Hands Down, there is no comparison. Every aspect of 7 was great! the storyline, characters, side quests, mini-games.. everything!

ff8 is purely the best ff out there.45680

dey from corona,ca,us says (20/Dec/2005):
  This game was perfect, never played better one in my life, and to the dumbnut up ther who said it sucked just because he couldnt beat ultimecia, get a life, train a little and know that ff7 was nothing compared to ff8 because it had main characters who didn't change over the whole storyline, it's storyline sucked, and there was never a twist or turn over the whole fricken story. If you want a story where you can actually choose any path for the story or want to have a game where you are not talking to a wall, try ff8 it is the best of them, oh and for the idiot that says the whole junction system sucks, it's just a step up from materia you numbnut so unless you want to diss your own stupid game, and im not sayin that I wouldn't play ff7 but seriously consider that square-enix might have made 7 before 8 and that that would mean unless their crazy 8 would be better.

Oh and for any xbox 360 fans buying the $#< remove me > at !ty bug filled crap Microsoft is sending out, take a good look at the damn controller look familiar, c’mon im sure your head’s not completely empty, see it yet? Look a little harder? That’s right it’s a white ps2 controller, so stop dissin sony. Microsoft only went into the gaming business to prove they were they best, the only problem, their not and nothing is going to change the fact that no matter how much you kiss that 360 itont love you back

A Final Fantasy game that deserves to be right up there with the BEST in the series.45473

The Artieful from Ontario, Canada says (27/Oct/2005):
  i'm personally very tired of people dissing final fantasy VIII because they are too stupid to understand the story themselves. they just go ranting on about the gameplay and the plot in a VERY biased manner and don't take the time to give the game a bit more thought.
masamunist said that the villain is one that you never grow emotions for. well maybe if people payed more attention instead of constantly telling themselves that final fantasy VII is better they would've figured out that ultimecia is rinoa. and they would've also figured out that ulemicia/rinoa was compressing time so that she could bring squall back to her time forever. if people are too stupid to understand the amazing story behind this game it's not the game's fault. i really hate thick headed people that force themselves into thinking that VIII sucks just to keep VII on their number 1 list. so contrary to what you said, ultimecia is VERY characterized and you grow A LOT of emotions for her if you would actually understand the plot behind everything (and if you don't, go look it up cause there are TONS of forums that discuss who rinoa being ultimecia). the game tells the REAL story in forms of symbolism and incomplete text, but OBVIOUS clues make the story something truly unique.
for it's time, it boasts very good graphics and over the top CGI.
and when it comes to gameplay, just because there is no materia in it that doesn't mean the game automatically sucks. if you're dying for materia go back and play VII some more and stop complaining. the music in the game lives up to the name of final fantasy, though there are some songs with lyrics in them which do sound a bit corny, however i find it odd that nobody's complaining about the horrible song that came at the end of FFIX. the characters in the game are something different than you're regular old cliche party that came from God knows what army and God knows what organization and makes it a bit more simple. gameplay wize, the game is something that will admittedly take some getting used to if you've played other final fantasies before this, but it is not a burden that you will NEVER learn your whole life that will come to piss you off to no extent like what other FFVII fanboys say. and finally, if you ever DO happen to come across this game, be sure to know that it is one that requires you to THINK about the story to understand it's true meaning. once you do it was can truly turn out wonderful. and all i can say is that final fantasy VIII is a game that lives up to the final fantasy name. I have beaten all final fantasies from VII to X and know what i'm talking about. i'm not saying FFVIII is may favourite FF, but i'm not saying FFVII is either. they are both damn good games and both deserve an equal amount of respect in their own right.

a s**tload of fluffy romance45383

masamunist says (2/Oct/2005):
  sorry if im gunna piss some people off by saying this but FFVII is by far the best FF. Who wuz the guy up there who says that the FVIII storyline is better??? come on honestly which sounds more exciting- some badass vilain trying to blow up a Planet and a mercenary with some other guys who have had different pasts and lifestories trying to stop him- or some prissy sorceress trying to compress time for no apparent reason with a moody schoolboy and his little mates who have all had the SAME past (childhood at the orphanage) trying to stop her...
excuse me the guy who said 'you can stick to 'my little pony' and 'where's wally'' i wud say that to FF8 lovers who hate FFVII. because hey, ff8 is just a $#< remove me > at !load of fluffy romance between a guy who, like Seifer said, has just hit puberty and an immature girl who's always whining for him to save her. where's the EXCITEMENT!!? and where the hell are those 'twists and turns' you guys are talking about in the storyline??? oooh you mean the sudden splatter of information that you get halfway in the story about how all of a sudden the main vilain turns out to be a friendly lady and the real baddie is someone you don't even know and who you dont have time to build up emotions on. With Sephiroth you had the WHOLE GAME to decide whether or not you hate him. I for one think he's one of the main good points of FFVII- an excellent vilain makes an excellent game... most of the time anywayz.
I agree with the guy who talked about how the Junction system sucks and is annoying. I mean on FFVII you could just use and Ether if you MP run out but on FF8 if you run out of a certain type of magic 1) it lowers you stats and 2) you have to run across the world trying to find the monster from which you nicked the magic from. It's just stupid.
And just to add another point, when Rinoa and Squall were in the Ragnarok $#< remove me > at !pit out in space and Eyes On Me started up i literally laughed and thought that they did it on purpose to diss stupid romantic music. But then i ran into forums where people were saying 'ooh ooh eyes on me is so brilliant...' GAG!!
and the end music sounds like the crap that my old Pokemon gameboy games music. btw who around here managed to get to ultemcia's last form on 1HP after like 45 mins of using strong magic and then ultemicia suddenly gets pissed, uses like 5 strong moves in a go and beats the crap out of you, because that's what happened to me. THe last battle is just way to long and boooooring. I'm gonna have to go waste another 45 mins of my life trying to beat ultemicia just to see the end movie- because that's the main reason why i actually keep playing the game..

One of the Best45324

MoonShadow from Sydney says (16/Sep/2005):
  FF8 was my first rpg game. After seeing a friend summon a GF it looked so amazing. once i started I was hooked. At first it looked very hard, but once i started getting use to junctioning I never called on a GF again. I got most of my characters STATs to 255 exept for luck and something else cant remember. The love story is great. I liked Rinoa, but i really liked Squall. He has a personality which i could understand. I think the difficulty level of this game was pretty low, since 2 lionhearts will kill anything(and you can make it come out pretty often) except for the secret monster in the castle. I had to actually fight that one using a strategy.
The graphics was really good (for it's time), and I really love the music, especiall the scene when they first got into ragnarak ( my favourite scene). I dont use magic often when playing FF games (only healing) but once you get your stats high enough( like I did) you could actually get more than 9999 damage in 1 turn without using overdrive(??? its been a while), so magic is really powerfull. There are a lot of tricks when juctioning to make you players immune to a lot of things and also absorb spells if done right. Actuallyh i thought FF7 was a little bit more difficult, probably because you have to level the materias which took a long time to do.
Over all I loved this game(along with FF7 and FFX), but didnt like
FF9 or FFX-2, but this is a deffinit must buy.

Merk.45239

Jes from England says (29/Aug/2005):
  Don't have a clue why people slag off Final Fantasy VIII, I bloody love the game. I've been playing it for only a year, but I've finished it four times. (Unfortunatly, I have never beat Omega, yet. I'm going to try this time, currently I'm on my fifth time through and just about to go into Balamb, Galbadia have just invaded looking for Ellone.)

I absolutely love the Balamb Garden, Deling City and Eyes on Me songs. The Liberi Fatali one is also fantastic.

I agree that VII and IX are very good, but none will ever compare to VIII. Sorry, it's just the way it is. To all the reviews I read on VIII's side, can't be bothered listening the names, your reviews were all fantastic. xD

I just love the fact that Squall is changed over the course of the first three discs, although, I think it would be rather nice if he was with Selphie.. Him and her are my favorite characters. She WOULD be a bit of a handful for him though, wouldn't she? So hyper.. xP

The only character I dislike (No offense to her fans) was Quistis. For some reason, which I don't know, she came across to me as $#< remove me > at !y and bossy, like she always wanted her own way. Although, I think that makes her perfect for Seifer. It always seemed to me as though FFVIII fans had these perfect couples in mind: Squall, Rinoa. Selphie, Irvine. Xu, Zell. (For anyone who DOESN'T know who Xu is, it's the girl who helps everyone evacuate the Garden in disc 2, she's also the Heart in the CC Quest.) And then Quistis, Seifer. Oh, and Edea, Cid. But to me (my deranged point of view) it would always be Squall, Selphie. Zell, Rinoa. Irvine, Quistis. I don't know why, but I think they'd all fit together perfectly.. xDDD

Anyway. Here ends my review. THUMBS UP FOR SQUARENIX MAKING THIS GOD-SENT GAME! WE LOVE YOU! Please find a way to make a sequel.. you'd make crap loads of money, because I know I'd definetly buy it no matter what the ratings were.

The most wondeful game ever45105

bLuE FoX from Indonesia says (27/Jul/2005):
  I have nothing to say unless IT'S AWESOME!!!!! For all of my life, i've been playing lots of game. From FF 'till DOA. And I guarantee this is the best!!!
The story, the love scene, the characters (Zell... I LOVE your style, men!), the secret GFs (the thing that makes me MAD, because Ican't get all of the GF, altough i have played it for five times!!!). It's perfect!!! Untill now, I have been finishing this game for 5 times, and has a plan to finish for another five times! But maybe, the thing that was kinda dissapointing is the ending is not so good. I mean, it's just showing the characters when they had defeated Ultimecia, not their final ending (But actually, the ending was very touchy... I almoust cried!!!). But I wish Rinoa could marry Squall... I don't care what people said about this game, but I surely said that this is one of the best game that was made by Square. I just wish that Square will make a movie of it, like what they had just done with FF VII. Zell--Zell

Zellsgirl13&477 from Sullivan, U.S.A says (11/Jul/2005):
  Alright, i've read some more of the reviews and like n/e other FF8 fan, i'm getting really sick of all the badmouthing to this game. All u pple that think FF8 suxs and FF9 or FF7 are better and just type that to get FF8 fans angry.here's my advice to you: GET A LIFE. This is a ff8 fan site, not FF7/FF9 site. So please just LAY OFF!! FF8 is the greatest game on Earth! I could play it over and over agian and never get bored. (* for my good stuff on FF8 check out my first review under Feb.16 04. only differnce is the name which back than, was just Zell13) Sorry if i come across as such a jerk but im getting sick of all the sh** pple are typing.(this is only to pple who are purposly trying to get us angry.......which by the way, worked) so if u don't feel like going to one of the 1st pages made to read my review, here's the stuff that's totally awesome about this game.(not ff9/ff7) numero uno: My favorite thing about this game, is the characters. They're personalitlys all rule and most character's personiatlys match friends/ and family of mine. (i'm the zell of it all, cuz i'm short tempered, i rush things, and i get into fights (mostly verbal) alot)but that's not the important thing. 2. like i've said b4, when introducing the characters the graphics are awesome!
3. i love the plot line it's awesome!
and all in all, it's just a kick A$$ game.(like i said b4, for a more descripted review, check Zell13 Feb.16 04)

Fantastic-slash-Exquisite Game.. If you hate this, I'll eat your head!44527

A Trepie named Setsuna from Philippines says (11/Apr/2005):
  Aw man, where do I start!? First off, I {heart} Squall Leonhart. I adore the song Eyes on Me. I crave for hotdogs {because of Zell!}. The gameplay was fantabulous. The storyline was very nice. What more can I say? I just love Final Fantasy VIII. I just can't understand why people hate it.

Yes, I understand that some 'things' in FF games are the same {for instance, the GFs and the darn lead male characters that don't know what to do but to hate the world and everything in it}, yeah, that was kinda annoying but this is ridiculous. 'The game sucked'!? I don't know how you can put those words together! Look, I also like FF9. I really do. But in terms of graphics, they're just plain.. similar! The characters.. well, I like FF8's characters because they are more realistic. The abilities were similar to most of the FF games.. and better! Who's not tired of playing the black mage, the thief, the knight and such!? {I know I am} The gameplay was fantastic! And the storyline {although I really wasn't satisfied with it} is an 8 out of 10 for me. If this game sucked, then all of the Final Fantasy sucked even more. Because of this game, I learned that gaming consoles existed.

*breathes heavily* I need to stop that before I literally burst into flames.

Anyway, I really like FF8 because for me, it's so romantic. I only wish that Quistis became Squall's love interest but.. Rinoa's nice too. I adore the sounds {especially Eyes on Me and the er.. sound when you're at Balamb and when you're at the Balamb Garden} 'coz it's very soothing. If you ask me, I'd play that game all day long if I can! And before I forget, I enjoyed using the 'Friendship' item, it was awesome! For me, FF8 is much more unique than the other FF games. How can you say that it's a game so bad that it should not be allowed in this world? I admit that I'm only a beginner in the gaming stuff but what I know is that FF8 never ever sucked! {Whoah! That rhymed!} Darn it, I know I should've done this but I found 117 results for FF8 hatelistings.. but found 908 results for FF8 fanlistings! In your face haters!

Ahh.. I shouldn't be talking like this. But I just wanna say one thing.. life would never be the same without FF8! ^.^

you ppl are on something!44307

angeljez from Melbourne, Australia says (12/Mar/2005):
  Ok, so I have to point out to all those genius' who have said that the gf's suck, its just a different name for what they used in ff7. and people, its a game, chill out! if you hated it that much, then fine, but don't wreck it for the rest of us. the world does not fall apart if you don't like the game. the graphics were wicked, almost as good as ff10's. storyline was ok, absolutely despise the junctioning, the card game was sweet. The music was interesting to start with, but after a while you'll probably wanna press the mute button. the weapons are sick, but not till you get further into the game (squall's are so wicked by the end!). the limit breaks are cool, except for irvines, but then again, i just don't like him. Oh, god wonder how many people are gonna kick my ass for saying that?! lol, scary. so yeah, overall, awesome game, great buy, y'all are probably gonna ignore this, but i got nothing to do, so whatever. oh god, need chocolate... haha, i hit 200 words, i hope, ok not yet, umm, just ignore that, slightly hyperactive, not my fault. awesome game.

FF8 Is The Reason I Fell In Love With Series In The Frist Place44182

A gamer from Indiana Usa says (20/Feb/2005):
  I know I already wrote a review, but I have some things say. What's with you people living FF7's shadow. Yes, I'll admit it was a wonderful game even if the graphics did suck and yes there is parts in FF8 that didn't tower over FF7, but I don't care. I still loved FF8. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want all my games to be the same. And that's what all you FF7 fanboys want. You all want every game in the FF series to be the same. Well, you know what? Not everyone does, including me! And just because you didn't like it doesn't mean you have right to ruin it for anyone else. You know, you people who say that who ever likes this game is not a real gamer. Well, YOU'RE not real gamers. And it's not because you don't like this game, in fact it's fine to me that you don't. Real gamers are mature and accept changes. They learn to deal with them, not whine though their whole lives about how the game wasn't what they wanted. And because they weren't happy with the changes they don't except eveyone to agree with them and they don't get really pissed when someone doesn't share the same opinion. To me that's what a real gamer is. I mean, I didn't like FFT too much, but I don't bitch to people how I didn't like it and how they shouldn't buy it just because I couldn't stand it. To me they can like whatever they want. They're the ones playing it, not me. My point is, you can't except everyone to share the same opinion as you. And if they don't, leave them alone! They're the ones playing the game, not you! So what are you bitching about? Oh yeah, one other thing. This whole thing about which character is stronger or that bu*< remove me > at sh#t about who can beat who up
GROWUP!!!! Seriously, f*$< remove me > at ing grow up!!! That sh#t is for six year olds, and it also tells me you're a lousy gamer!!!! You don't like the game? Fine, whatever. No one f*#$ing cares or at least anyone actually matters!! The only advice I have you FF7
fanboys who are closeminded and think out their ass, is you better get use changes because not all RPG are gonna be same and you better learn to deal with or you're not gonna have nothing play. Then you'll really have something whine and bitch about.

Adrienne from Indiana Usa says (20/Feb/2005):
  I know that I already wrote a reveiw, but I have A few things to
say. What's with you people being stuck in FF7's shadow? Yes, I think FF7 was wonderful in so many ways even though it had crappy
graphics. And yes, I admit that FF8 lacks in some deparments when it's compared to FF7. But I don't care! I still loved it!
But you closed minded FF7 fanboys want every RPG to be just like
FF7! But not everyone what's that, including me! If you don't like the game, that's great. But you have no right to ruin it for anyone else. Yeah, and that bullsh#t about that if you like this game that you're not a real gamer, is wrong. YOU'RE not the real gamer!!! And Im not saying this because you don't like FF8, because it's fine to me if you don't. I say this because a real gamer is mature and accepts changes. They learn to deal with it weather they like it or not. And they don't whine to everyone who listen about how the game wasn't what they wanted and they don't try to convice other people they won't want it either. Also, a real gamer is someone who doesn't get pissed off
if some else doesn't like what they like or doesn't share the same opinion. That's a REAl gamer!! Yeah, and that whole thing about which character is stronger or who could beat up who, that sh*t is for 6 year olds who fight on the playground during recess. GROW UP!!! Seriously, f< remove me > at #*ing grow up!!! All that tells
me is you're a f#< remove me > at &ing moron and a gamer wannabe. The only advice I got for you closedminded FF7 fanboys is that you better deal with change because not all games are gonna be the same. To me a different battle system, story, and characters are a good thing(in most cases). It gives you more exsprience as gamer and it also makes it easier to play different games. But if you don't want to like this game, it's fine, whatever. Just don't ruin it anyone else. Let them make up their own mind instead of pushing your opinions on them.
