| 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. |

I don't straight out dislike FFVIII, I'm just not fond of the plot.
I'm sure I've already explained my disrespect for the story line countless times throughout the forums.
Things to frown upon:
1.) Lack of character development.
2.) Moody antagonist who takes orders from everyone (Quistis and crew) but his authority figure (Cid).
3.) Horrible love story.

If there is anything in the game that confused me is why they made Quistis the same age as the rest aswell as a teacher. I thought that was very strange. She looks a lot older than the rest.

Well, I have always been a HUGE fan of this game, and I still am. In fact, I even have my own FFVIII RP board. 
Quistis is older than all of the characters, apart from Seifer (I think), but I'll need to double-check on that.

I can't decide weather I love or hate this game. I love the updated graphics and the new GF system. But I hated the new minigame "the card game". I know how to play it but I just don't see the point. In 9 the card game does comeback but square made it a "must know how to play" game. Because eventually you have to play and you have to win. But now I'm getting alittle of subject. I also didn't like some of the upgradeing system for the weapons. Most of the materials needed to find to upgrade are hard to find. Not only that but you have to find issues of an old magazine to know your next weapon or ability. But that's also why I love it. All of that adds a challenge to the game that makes it that much easier or harder depening on what you do. So I'm stuck in the middle.

I liked the game, I really liked the plot, even a little more than FFVII. The one thing I didn't like about the game was the fact that you had to draw magic, and then junction it to strengthen your abilities. to me it was confusing and a big pain in the butt.

Actually, Quistis and Seifer are a year older than the rest. But yeah, I know what you mean. I suppose Quistis was mature enough to take the role of a teacher. She certainly has that aura about her, don't ya' think? |

The only thing I can actually hold against this game is the amount of time it takes to actually grip the player in to wanting to progress within the story.
Personally, I found that only at the end of disk 2 it began to get good. And seeing as that's nearly half way through the entire game, I'd say that was quite poor.
Good game, it just takes a while to get into.

Well. . . .
I have to point out before I start that i love all the FF games, I just don't love this one as much. I mean sure you've got the epically difficult side quests (which is a plus) and I agree that having to find certain materials for making weapons doesn't simply make it so all you have to do is acquire enough gil. And its got a wonderful magic and stat system, yet even with all the making of an awesome RPG, the most important thing is caring about the characters and their plight. Say in VII (the second best) you really start to care because you've got Sephiroth, and as much as Cloud is a screaming emo, you feel his plight. And instantly in IX (the best) you get the Dagger/Princess I want to be free kind of feel. As much as this is a good game, I don't connect with the characters, thus, well I didn't enjoy this game to much, but its still an awesome game !
