| Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy. |

One of my favorites I preferred pretty much everything in this game compared to the others, the junction system was awesome a complete new way to make yourself stronger, the magic draw system was pretty cool though more ways to obtain it should be suffice, the enemies level up as you do which is actually perfect, the GF system was awesome they grew stronger as you do as well  and they are responsible for some abilities and strengths that you can use, awesome new challenges (Omega Weapon for example) though omega could be beaten in one hit  , and finally I liked the characters.
The only thing I disliked about this game is the fact of the leveling up 1000exp per level up  to easy to reach level 100 if square could remake Final Fantasy 8 I would ask them to remake the leveling up system and the game to me would be perfect.

This game was very real, in your face. You only knew what some of the characters knew, so you didn't get much. Just because you got your guts beat out, doesn't mean you need to explain yourself.
The game was honestly way too short for any character development. If Square marked how long this journey was, I'd say that it was a month long tops.

Very real??? You think it is normal during a military mission you start to worry about hurting some bimbos feelings who you just have met and you go to apologize to her while you should be doing your mission. Thats just simply stupid. Well I never thought Quistis is smart.
And real would be too that you would go on a happy adventure with a bunch of people and then suddenly one of you would remember that " hey we are from same orphanage, I just canīt remember since I was too drunk ". I would like see that happen.
And if you want seal to something forever you sure wonīt make opening mechanism to it. |

Secondly, you can quit mocking the game. It's not "DUUURURDUUUDUUURRRRR I REMEMBER YALL COS IM DRUNK!!!!!!!!1oneoneoneoneoneoneoneone  :huh :   "
It is because of the GF that they don't remember their pasts and childhoods. It slowly clouds the users past memories to the point they can hardly remember. Alternatively, it is because Irvine does not use a GF and remembers his childhood, that anyone else remembers because he brings it up after realizing no one else noticed. |
I know it is GF what causes amnesia but why then use them? I sure wouldnīt want to forgot my password to my bank account. And who knows if the real reason for amnesia is childhood traumas?
I can mock this game if I want to, not everybody have to like this game but I write things what I found very stupid in this game so someone can explain and try to convert me by telling for example you like the game.
I just happen to like more fantasy worlds than realistic worlds in RPG-games. That is one reason why I think FFXII is better than FFVIII. |

i thought ff8 was pretty good, i liked the card minigame and there were a lot of summons, and the storyline was pretty good too. If final Fantasy fans don't like this game, then they aren't final fantasy fans at all.

I am still playing this one....lol
I started it....and took me forever to finish the first disc...now on the second disc, and to be honest I cannot even remember what the hell is going on at the moment where I am.....
I will finish it, so I can see how the story ends for myself but other then seeing the end of the story I am not interested in any other aspects of this particular FF. Though not in the rush to finish it. So far my opinions are not that great:
- The story - it is ok....it is not bad at all, I do not agree with saying it is bad because it is not...though from what I have seen so far....IT IS to slow in developing in front of you...it drags out and it gets really really boring at some parts because of that slow factor....
- characters - here I have to say no no no...so far this bunch is the most boring, blend, unintresting buch of characters I have personaly seen ever in a game...absolute boredom, the lines they say, th | | | |
