This was the first FF game i played and i really enjoyed it, especially on disc 3 when seifer beats odin and gilgamesh apears!

Also the GF junction system was awesome but the magic was a bit of a let down.

I think 8 has the best storyline by far. But i kinda hated the whole junction system. Honestly if 8 had a better battle and upgrade system id consider it the best final fantasy

I love FFVIII, far more than I liked FFVII. Squall is my favorite character in the series, and I got more into the storyline with 8 than I did with 7. I enjoyed everything about the game, from the character development, to the romance story, to the music, to the draw/junction system. I thought the junction system was very creative.

I loved this game! Its the first ff I ever played and ever since I've been an addict to final fantasy. Squall can take on Cloud any day baby!

I loved VIII because it had a great storyline, though the Junctioning System made it pawnable. My favorite characters were Squall, Seifer, and Edea, the others were fair except for Irvine who was annoying.

On top of that, every character can be used to beat the game, so the victory does not depends on a single character all the time.

I didn't hate FFVIII, really. Neither was it the best of the series in my opinion.
Of course the graphics were more realistic (in comparison to VII), which was a plus, and I really liked the CG scenes.
I don't necessarily hate the junction system. To me it just seemed like you spent more time actually adjusting, customizing the system hogging attention away from the story line and having a player forget their place, where to go, or what the issue was. The story I found to be interesting: not into the whole love story thing first, save the world second idea, but the characters emoted enough for such ideology to be recognized.

I didn't enjoy Final Fantasy VIII at all, it's probably my least favorite of the series

I didn't like the battle system, nor the way you acquired new weapons, but I admit the story was quite engrossing.

FF VIII is one of the best in the series. In this series I can actually feel the characters develop as the story develops. This was also the game that introduced me into the series.

Square had put effort in this game like many other of the ff classics. It seems like FF games Square develops now are all rushed, and uncreative.

no doubt the laziness came from the enix enterprise.

FF VIII was... Hard to describe in my opinion. The story was pretty cool, I do enjoy the future setting. I liked the characters (most of the time). But FF VIII had one weak point, the Junction system. The Junction system was incredibly painful to me, I found the game almost to easy as long as I kept Squall junctioned with the most powerful magic I could find to his strength. Also I like to be able to cast magic without drawing it or having let me stats go down.
