FFVIII - Worth Getting?

[Boobs I have em]

I say yeah.

It has a good romance plot, lovable characters expect Squall *opinion he's a ass * great musical soundtrack and so much more.

The storyline is a little messy though and the Junction system is either something you adore or loathe. The card game is very entertaining and you could spent hours, just collecting rare cards. It's a fun game, with heaps of jokes though it knows when to be serious. I loved Rinoa, she's a wonderful heroine and so brave expect not having the army training the others had. The villian while most say that she's a disappointment, I have to disagree. She 's been there since the beginning, using Edea and Seifer and then later affecting Squall and Rinoa's lifes for the worst. She's a puppet master, and she's a change from Sephiroth and Kefka who before her, where more villains that stayed on the front lines and did their evil work in the open. Though sitting behind the scenes holding the strings, is not a letdown.

The graphics have kind of aged since 1999, though they're still holding up compared to other PlayStation games also made around that era.

It's worth a pick up, though it does have a few flaws. Though I haven't played a Final Fantasy yet that has been 100 per cent perfect.

I know a lot of my friends hated VIII. I can see why they would as well seeing as it came right after VII which was reallllly popular. I personally loved it for what it is. I though the Gardens and the more serious-looking character style was a nice touch and I really enjoyed the story. Tbh though I don't think my opinion would count for much unless your like me I've loved every Final Fantasy I've played except XII and XIII

I loved this game to death! I loved the card game, the limit breaks, and the junction feature... MY GOD, THE JUNCTION FREAKING FEATURE!!!!! I love this game so much that it would take me hours to explain why I think it is the best game to ever be created. Also, the story is, and always will be, my favorite of all time. Just mind blowing.
