Thumbs down

I put hate it, since I disliked most of what VIII offered in terms of gameplay. Though I did enjoy the game story wise and a great amount of sidequests.

I absolutely love the game. There seems to be a common theme though with those who liked ffVIII, and that applies to me as well. That theme being most people didn't like it when they first played it, then later after returning to it, loved it.

It ranks right near the top as one of my favorite RPG's.

I disliked the game at first, however after I played it for a while I really got into it, and now I like almost every aspect of it. It's not as good as my personal favourite, Final Fantasy VII, but still.

Being it was the first game I had purchased out of the series I beat it in a matter of days. Despite the "emo" main character I still enjoyed it.

I did, however, dislike the fact that the monsters leveled up with you. I got Squall to 99 in the Training Grounds and everyone else suffered. :(

"emo" main character? how so?

Anyways i didnt realy like the game because i didnt like some of the systems such as the GF. I thought it was the worst system in the series accept for the liscence board. I also hated the Draw system WITH A PASSION. It was the absolute worst thing ever.

The thing i did like tho was the card game. I enjoyed collecting the cards and battling other players

Personally I loved the game. I couldnt find any fault with it except for a few annoyances. I hated the junctioning system because it got ridiculous after the beginning. I also hated the card Rules as it made so friggin hard to win player cards most of the time. I like the fact you could see the weapon you bought. the weapon graphics themselves.

I really liked this Game, like all final fantasy's they make you to continue playing the game until the end, I also liked the fact that training was quite easy!

LOVE IT!

Seriously loved this game, and it is my 3rd fave in the series. I just loved the Characters in VII, especially Edea....

I personally loved this game alot. The characters were well done and the story line was done very nicely.

The junctioning system took a moment to grasp and get use too but, once you got it, it's pretty easy. lol. I loved it.

It had the best GF level system of the FF games. Cuztomization was done very good.

Only thing I hate about this game is how long it takes for the game to actually start. All that stuff you go through in the beginning is so pointless. -___-;; lol.
