Wow, breathtaking |
| Jack from Ontario Canada says (10/May/2002): |
This was one of the best games I have played for playstation, the graphics were great, better than ff9. I think that the graphics were 10X better than ff7. This was why I started to play the FF series. I have almost beten it and my favorite charecter is Squall. The GF's were so cool with the sweet attacks. The juctioning system was very efficient. I liked the cool cinimas. The hardest boss I've faught so far was Edea. She was hard and it took me a while to beat her. Another hard boss was Diablos the GF. FF10 is good because you don't have to fight the GF's. FF8 has it all, action, adventure, love stories, and a stunning story. When you buy it (I know you will) it has hours of awesome gameplay for endless fun.

Wow, get the guide |
| Chexbox.com from Chexbox.com says (8/Jun/2002): |
Face the facts, we all love the Final Fantasy series and they will be around for a while but they are usually pretty long. They can be even longer when you reach a boss that takes FOREVER to defeat. Well, get the information you need to defeat the bosses with the official strategy guide! It has complete lists of items such as Guardian Forces, Triple Triad cards, and information on how to access and successfully complete mini-games and strategies for the Triple Triad game. The guide also contents character art directly from Squaresoft as well as secrets you wont find anywhere else so you should definately check it out.

A feast for the senses! |
| Ginger from Cape Town says (19/Aug/2003): |
As someone that has followed the FF series I was hoping that this game would be something remarkable, I was not dissapointed! Using a style of story that has never failed, the loner who coes to apprectiate his fellow peers, we are thrown into a world where reality and fantasy combin to create a cacophany for the senses. The new junction style that deals with the magic attack/defence of each character and the equaly individual abilities of the GF's make for a moe controled game that, to me, surpasses its predesesors in every way. Final Fantasy Eight will become an obsession, even after the game is finished; due to the amount of sub-quests, that will change the way you look at the gaming experience.

AMAZING |
| Katrina from Ontario, Canada says (6/Aug/2003): |
As a teenager naturally i'm a video game fanatic, i've always played adventure games, but when i was introduced to final fantasy on the super nintendo (final fantasy mystic quest) i knew that when i got playstation that i would continue to be hooked! Final fantasy is just great i love the FMV's it's my favourite part and it just seems so real! parts i don't like are the battle system it can get confusing and u need to play the game time and time again to get it right! This final fantasy is so unique compared to the past ones...a totally different story line and fun for everyone! It has all the best qualities for all different ppl, love, fantasy, battle, it's overall fantastic!

This is a very excellent game. |
| Fish from Minatare, USA says (21/May/2001): |
This game took me by surprise. I thought that when I saw the four disks that it was going to be a long boring game. But It proved me wrong. It was very exciting game, but sometimes feels that It is going to take forever. It took forever when you had to build up your magic or get 100 magics like ultima or metor. It was well worth the time it took to play it. I would recommend this game to anybody. I am trying to get my friend to lone me his other FFs so I can see if I can beat them in record time Like I did this one. Very excellent game and I can't wait till I can get to buy FF9 or I heard that FF10 is coming out. can't wait.

fantastic |
| A gamer from Guernsey says (28/Mar/2003): |
I think final fantasy 8 is brilliant. Sure the junctions are a bit hard to get the grip of at the start when you've just started to play the game but you just have to read the screen to see what you're being told very carefully and you'll get the grip of it in the end it really isn't that hard. The graphics in this game are just brilliant. Final fantasy 8 has the best graphics out of all the final fantasy series honestly. The storyline well that's just excellent really how can anyone question it it 's brilliant. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS BRILLIANT for crying out loud you have to agree with me here. Anyone who disagrees is mad.

Nothing NEAR Perfect |
| A gamer from usa says (25/Nov/2003): |
Obviously the worst FF to date. I rented this game one day, and thought Wow... Sweet opening sequence. But after playing it, I kept getting confused on the frickin Junction system, which is a poor idea where you can use a Guardian Force things to raise your stats. And also, they have a even worse idea. The draw system, where you "draw" magic out of an enemy for your use, so if you run out, you have to draw some more. Customizing weapons was a decent idea, but you could end up fighting the final boss with the weapon initially equipped.Also there are no treasure chests. No mp too.
Square really let me down on this one. FF7, anyone

Hey!!!!! its me Rinoa stil loving FF8! |
| Rinoa from Manila, philippines says (25/Aug/2002): |
I'm back again!!! Just gotta say dat this game makes you think. I mean really think. the you draw magic you have to be careful on choosing it coz theres not alot of space 4 all the magic. I have too admit, this gme is extremely hard and it uses up too much of my time compared to the other final fantasies. But just 2 get through the game and perfect it......its all worth while. Gotta say that rinoa is the best character for me coz dats me!! hehehehehehe.....4 those who hate the game, i respect you. there were times i was so fed up with the game but i still love it. you just need patience. "whatever." Great game. I just love it.

Andrew Benavides from VA! 9/21/03 |
| Andrew Benavides from Ashburn VA : the town where i live!? says (21/Sep/2003): |
This game was awesome!!! I have not played a game so good in the series! FF7 the graphics kinda of didn't catch my liking, FF 9 was ok, and FF10 was awesome!! ^_^ Likes: The music in this game was cool, and I liked the characters. The limit breaks were awesome(Lionheart is awesome) I have seen lionheart but my main weapon right now is the Shear trigger but with 100 Tornados junctioned to my STR. i kick some major butt! The GF's are awesome. I like Bahamut ( i think Cactuar is funny) 8I So i strongly recommend you play this awesome RPG!!!!
P.S. I don't think any dislikes were stated, but can you 2X check??

I love this game! |
| Shorty from Orem, USA says (19/Dec/2002): |
Seriously, this is an awesome game. Yeah, Squall was a harsh fag sometimes and Rinoa could be a b*tch, but I really liked it. And, you gotta admit, Seifer was the coolest. I've raraly seen such an enemy. He made a few mistakes of being an idiot, though, but I personally like him. Squall was a pretty good character. I really dislike the orphanage scene. What was that, blaming their memory loss on the GFs? That was really the only gay part. The graphics were wonderful! I loved the animation. The movies were the best. I really think that it's worth it to play the game to see the ending clip. I loved this game.

an ff game........no way |
| snapper from liverpool. england says (31/Dec/2002): |
this should not be called an final fantasy game if you look at ff 7 brilliant game then you come to ff 8 the creators took everything from all the previuos games and tore it a part the game is a discrace to the ff series thank god for ff9 ff10 for getting square softs name back as good came company. the only good points in some ways was the real life characters, and the bad thing was everything i such as stealing magic the gfs the weapons and limits all very bad worse ff game i have played and that is ff5 ff6 ff7 ff8 ff9 ff10 the best being ff7 and ff10 and worst being you guest it ff8..

This one is the best of all ffs it is not better than 10 and 11 |
| omaga gamer from alabama says (23/Jul/2002): |
This is one of the best of all of the its only problom is the it is a long game. The cool thing is that it requires you to think and to figure out the junctioning and to play the card game and the eachra summos are cool it is kind of hard at some points and a snor at some it is not relly long i got to level 100 in about 20 hours with all my ppl and all the beat wepons and eveything else in about 50 hours. I give it a 10 out of 11 it is one of the beat ones but you all should play 11 i don't like some of the music in the game and some of the ppl are'nt good but it is the best game for PS.

Worst final fantasy yet |
| Dabunzae says (19/Oct/2002): |
This is by far the worst final fantasy. it stroyline is too slow and it has none of the orignal elements like the previous ones. the characters are too large and normal looking (the smaller ones are better for final fantasy like ff9) and it is too futuristic. the weapons are just plain dumb i mean a gun blade? what the hell! if your that far in the future just use a fricking gun forget the blade! i guess 1 is a little underatting it compared to other rpgs but im comparing it to other final fantasys. dont buy it buy ff9 for good storyline and more final fantasy not space age sci-fi crap.

Nothing else came close |
| MANDYY from MSIA says (19/Jan/2003): |
It's really the best rpg i have ever played in my whole damn life. I have played ff7, ff9, ff10 and i dont know why.....FF8 is still the greatest rpg game i have ever played. FFX graphic was awesome, but then it still cant beat FF8's storyline.
After playing ff8, i became so obsessed with this final fantasy stuff......well i have a dozens or more posters of ff8 characters in my room....i even use the characters name in my essay writing!! My favourite charater would definately be squall leonhart. He is drop dead gorgeous and damn even all my friends know im a ff maniac! FF RULEZ

TO GAMERS THIS GAME IS A MUST |
| Bing- from Trinidad and Tobago says (30/Dec/2002): |
I have played countless game throughout my life especially rpg's but final fantasy eight truly was the best experience.The game takes you in from the very beginning as you take control of of Squall Leonheart a 'lone wolf' whose chance encounter with with Rinoa Heartily an exhuberant young woman whose carefree attitude has our hero questioning his morals.....The game is set in in a huge world ,and the theme is based on one of love as this epic story unfolds you are treated to many breathtaking c.g.i.'s making FF8 an even more memorable experience.BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!
