love it!!!!!! My first FF and got me hooked on the series so I guess I may be a liitle biased lol! still the love story was WAY over the top but the GF's and junctioning were really good; the story was kewl as was the battle system. Wish Irvine wasn't in it though wat a waste of space...........

I actually liked Irvine. I thought he had a good, although a bit cliche, character background. The fact that he lived in the orphanage with them, though, added to it and made him more unique. His over-the-top ego was a classic cover for the fact that he secretly was afraid of assassinating someone, especially someone with such power. I will admit, I near-despised Irvine when I first played through the game, but I learned to like him and when I started using his limit break is when I actually got attached to him as a character. The backstory with Squall, Laguna, and Ellone was amazing and the story with General Caraway, Raine, Julia, and Laguna was surprising and deep, so it would be very difficult to say that it had no story or ackground. There was plenty, and a lot of it was hiden. The Moombas calling Squall 'Laguna' and the way the Moombas got to know Laguna, etc. The game was well thought out and a wondrous addition to the series.

Meh, somewhere in the middle, probably leaning a little more towards love though.

Loved it for:
-GF system
-Squall/Rinoa/Irvine
-Laguana/Kiros/Ward story
-Futuristic feel being a change of pace
-Balamb Garden/concept of sEEds
-Lots of sidequests
-Assasintation attempt at the end of disc 1
-Ultemicias castle on disc 4
-Balamb vs Galbadia fight

Hated it for:
-Ultemicia, didnt really do it for me as a villan
-Zell/Quistis
-Not focusing/showing Squall and Rinoas relationship more
-Galbadia prison at the start of disc 2
-Time compression plot being too confusing first time around
-Never revealing Ultemicias actual motivation

I really enjoyed 8, personally.

I really enjoyed how realistic it was(character wise at least).

An all human main cast just made the overall experience better for me. FF8 remains my favorite.

I happen to love FFVIII, it has an awsome story, the battle system rules and so do the weapons systems for that matter, and i love the limit break system.

Also, the GF summoning system and the way you can learn abilities from them was a big plus for me! this is my fave final fantasy game ever!!!

Now that Atomos mentions it, I really liked how weapons were achieved in this one. Getting materials to have them designed was a really cool and creative process. I just wish there were more to choose from. A lot more.
Great, I hate it when I start thinking of how a game could be made better because my mind goes crazy with it. Next thing I thought was thought you should be able to give any character any weapon so that Rinoa (or whoever) could use a sword, etc.

That'd be badass.

I love FFVIII, obviously... its by far the most emotional installment, and you have to give the story credit for being so intricate that even the little things give relatively big reactions. Not to mention the whole thing loops at the end... I mean... c'mon... the whole thing is just plainly badass.

This was my first FF, too! It put a very good impression in my mind of RPGs, what with all of the twists and surprises, as well as the FMVs and rich character developments. Of course there are some parts in the game that were less than exciting, but as a whole it is very well done.

i do beleave finaly fantasy xIII will be a great game.
the only thing i can seem to feel about the game is it will be rather short compared some of the greta titles like ffX and ffX-2
i still think i will love it
