They probably hated the story more in FFVIII because of how poor it seemed to others. At least XII wasn't some generic love tale.

I loved this game especially for it's storyline. I liked how the GF's were used but the thing i didn't like was how the monsters leveled up when you leveled up. If you couldn't beat a boss then you couldn't just level up some more and try again...even though the bosses weren't that tough except Omega Weapon and I though Diablos was pretty tough.

FFVIII is my favorite of the series. It had everything right! Graphics, story, characters, music all is top notch. Story was immense had you thinking the hole time. Junction system is very underrated i personally love it because it gives you the chance to completely customize you're characters. Drawing magic was, I'll be honest not so great but its easy to understand and pick up. I don't understand why everyone seems to hate it so much!!

The only reason I see that would make people hate it is that the junction system and all that stuff was too hard. Therefore If it was too hard for you, than your either stupid or you suck at FF in general and you don't deserve to play the game.

It's FF people! it's supposed to be a chalenge. If there's a game to be hated its FF12 with it's stupid battle system.

Gotta say that I loved it. It got me to play the FF series.

For me, the Junction system is just a new name for the Materia of VII. It was annoying at times, yeah, but if you put a little thought into it, you could find the perfect combo for everything.

As for making a character uber right from the start, you could.....so long as you busted your hump doing the work for it. I worked as much as I could at leveling and ubering my chars, and still had to wait until I had full access to the world before I could really get them there.

But I will say one thing. If they were going to make another game in VIII's world, I would want the whole GF memory thing changed from the storyline. That, and be able to set your magic so that you don't spend past a certain amount, or set it aside completely.

-Sigh-

I hate it.

Into context:

The only thing that kept this game from winning the Worst Final Fantasy Game recognition (in my opinion) is the fact that it has many improvements over Final Fantasy VII. Both the character and enemy graphics are much more detailed, the music is superior and the FMVs are amazing instead of unprofessional looking. However, this did not make for a great game when compared to other Final Fantasy titles. While the character personalities fit almost perfectly, this game is even more futuristic that the previous title and once again that took the Final Fantasy out of it

With the Full Motion Videos being amazing, you'd expect an equally great story. Unfortunately that is not how it worked out. Even though the story isn't exactly bad, it can frequently feel like you're playing an interactive movie, which is not what this series is supposed to be about.

As a final note, this game was almost as straightforward as Final Fantasy X, with just a little more room to stray from the direct path. While it fit the game well, it definitely could have used a little more freedom.

I loved it! not perfect as ff7 but its awsome! i wish junctioning was more effective and better but hey it was fun if you had 100 ultima , life, full-life, shell, triple, double and aura (did i leave any good ones out that need 100 too be perfect but was hard to obtain?)

I didn't see the problem with this game. People usually say they hate things but its ironic they can hardly make up a good excuse as to why, which pisses me off. The junction system was interesting, and they had the good old battle the summons which is very fun. Also it was challenging to get most the character's weapons and I enjoyed finding all the parts, even though I cheated

So IMO there is nothing wrong with this game.

I've not played much of this game, so I understand this is quite a biased opinion:

I hate it.

The Juction System ... It leaves me pulling my hair out. I mean: WTF? Drawing Magic (Instead of bloody using it ¬_¬). It just makes everyone copies of themselves :\ Give me back my classes!

The only one of these so called "amazing Limit Breaks" I've actually managed to use is Seifer's "No Mercy" (It does get points for reminding me of Amarant's "Flair" ability

). It wasn't all that.

The characters do hardly any physical damage. Timing the attacks for Quistits, Zell and Selphie with the R1 button is really hard ¬_¬ Magic does really naff damage, plus, I can't frigging use it without lowering my stats!

Squall ... *shudders* whoever thought of this anti-social fucktard should be slapped. Ugh. I just hate his whole personality. When Quistits is telling him how she feels at the place in the Training Grounds and he just blanks her ... what a bastard. I want a game with a protagonist with PERSONALITY. (Hence why I adore IX <3)

It's funny. I keep hearing about Squall/Rinoa ... but all I'm seeing so far is Squall/Seifer. I actually like Seifer.

*Casts Protect to save himself from Flames. Oh no, my Defence stat is now gone :\*
