An almost flawless game. I can't say anything bad about it. I absolutely love it.

I don't know about a third time through, though.

It's been a while since I last played it, and I can honestly say I'd play it again in the future once some time has passed. For me, this game doesn't take all that much time to beat, which is why I would replay it again. :3

Absolutely love it. It was my first FF I bought (I had played FFVII before) and I still think it's just amazing.

I love it. My first Final Fantasy was X, after I finished it and noticed what I've been missing out on all these years I made a plan to play all the FFs before that one. When I got FFVIII I wasn't expecting much since I typically thought X would more advance in everything than all the rest before it, but I ended up hooked on VIII even more so than X. Even after I went and passed IX, VIII was still my favorite. That was because I liked how the game offered a realistic-more-modern time-atmosphere, and the romance of course, I'm just that type of guy. =P I won't say VIIIs battle system is the best of them all, but I did have fun playing the game and getting the final weapons. *drools at Lionheart e_e* Thing is, regardless of how my level of RPG comprehendsion/experience was then and is now, FFVIII gave me the biggest overall impact and satisfaction thus far.

Love it. Though it was my first FF so I'm biased.

But I'd probably of fallen in love with the game regardless. Before coming across FFVIII, I had never thought a video game could actually form into an obsession.

And even now, some 7/8 years later, the obsession has still yet to completely cease. The replay value is ridiculously high. I'd beat it for the 400th time if my friend (whom I let borrow it) hadn't moved away. =(

Also, I liked the whole "anime high school" vibe.

A beautiful game with beautiful music and an addicting story. And let's not forget Sir Laguna Loire and the moombas (whom IMO, rival the moogles for cutest species in all of Final Fantasy). Yeah, I love it. =D

I love final fantasy VIII. Originally I bought it for my dad (yea really!!!) along with a ps1. I saw him play it a few times and I thought omg, i'll never play that game. Then one day I was bored so I just picked it up and...got lost in the wonderful world of final fantasy. It was just such an awesome game and the music was epic!(well some of it) The junction system was pure genius BUT the magic (having to constantly draw and stock) was awful. I hardly ever used magic, except for aura (best magic ever) and just stuck to limit breaks really (soo cool!). Squall was my favourite character. Even now i still play ffviii every now and again and i have the soundtrack too. The best part of the game was the SeeD test in Dollet, no doubt about it. Oh yeah and seifer's a jerk!!

My favourite game of the series, without question. I immediately liked everything that was introduced throughout the game. I thought the storyline was nicely drawn out, engaging, and the romance was intertwined perfectly. Loved the game, love the game, will always love the game.

I still can't decide my feelings on this game, as it's the only FF game I own that I have not beaten. I'm kind of on-the-fence because the characters don't capture my interest as well as those in VII, IX, X, and XII, though some parts of this game remind me vaguely of Harry Potter. I still don't understand exactly why though.

I'm changing my mind. Before I loathed this game, and was a very vocal critic of it. But now, I love it. It's a lot of fun, although it takes a loooong time to really get going - once you have, it's awesome. About, half way through disk 2 is when I started finally enjoying this game. And I've just killed Ultima Weapon and gotten Eden ^^
