Why do FFFan's hate this game? - Page 11

I liked the beginning... after that I just didn't understand why I was playing it. For me to like the game I need interesting characters to drive the story... which this didn't have. I also couldn't stand drawing magic. SO boring....

What I didn't like about this game and why I think it is one of the least enjoyable FF's is because of Drawing, Junctioning and the ease of the enemies.

I hate drawing soo much. I have stated this many times so 'm gonna keep this short. It was extremely long and boring. Perhaps at first, yer, but after that it was a big yawn. I didn't like junctioning because you had to draw to get the magic to junction to improve immunities and such. The whole joke of it was that the game was soooo easy that you hardly needed to have immunities or increased status that much. Especially magic. Even advanced spells such as Thundaga and Blizzaga were utterly useless; it got on my nerves. I just used attack, which was far more effective. The only spells I used were Curaga, Aura, Meltdown, Ultima and a couple others.

The other stuff was great and memorable (storyline, characters, music and such), it was just a bit of a anoyance to actually battle because it was boringly easy.

This is my favorite Final Fantasy, always has, and maybe always will unless one of the new releases games dethrones it. You can't beat the storyline, it was just amazing. I really liked Squall and Rinoa as a couple, best one in my opinion. It wasn't so forced and felt real to me. Anyway, I could praise VIII all day, but you get the point

I have no idea why some FF fans hated this game. I believe it to be the best in the whole series

the thing I DON'T understand is why everyone made such a big deal over FF7... that game sucked =P

people who hate this game for fucking stupid reasons piss me off.

someone said the enemies were too easy. what about the final boss battle??? That was the hardest in ANY FF in my opinion.

Seriously, FF8 was great. Not as good as 7 or 9 in my opinion, but it's better than X and X-2.

I'll admit that the final boss was very worth while; and the final dungeon was well worth playing through for. FFVIII's final dungeon is among my favorites, honestly.

My main peeve about this game was the lack of character development. Anyone can step up and argue that the characters were greatly designed, but the fact is that...they lack substance.

well it really depends on who you pay attention to. I think they developed quite a few of the character very well. Squall went from your cold hearted lone wolf to a great leader. zell was you immature brat to a man of responsibilitysome of the characters didn't realy need to develop. Selfie was already caring. Quistis was the mature figure. Irvine just showed who he really was to squall even though around everyone else he was just a womanizer. Rinoa was the support squall needed to become who was supposed to become.
I can keep on going on why this ff had the best character development compared to the rest

Some people never played FFVIII and that way they hated but i love FFVIII because it was the first game i played when it came out.

I started playing this game but then I stopped coz i bought FF12. Well...... that wasnt the only reason I stopped playin it. The other reason was that I found the junction and draw systems confuising. I'm playin FF10 atm but when ive finished that I'm gonna go straight back to FF8 because now that ive read the manual a few times and got to understand the systems I wish I'd never stopped playin it
