Ultima36, I know you keep asking question but could you stop making one liner posts? If you keep this up I'll delete your posts.

All I'm asking if you put more effort into your posts, thank you.

How did you realise all this? You must have thought about it a lot... I don't usually read that much into my games...

I want to be a writer, so I think about story structure and things like that all the time. I didn't think about it the first time I played it (mainly because I was too young at the time), but once I learned about all these things, I was able to see where other writers were using such techniques.

Cool. I think that it must be cool to see all these things, to appreciate the more subtle sides of FF. Whereas people like me, who are blind to these subtleties, probably don't enjoy that game so much. I think next time I play VIII I'll appreciate it more for what you've just told me about the manifestation of the characters' inner struggles. Thanks

The mark of a truly good story is when you don't really notice all these little details, but would notice them if they were gone. I don't think FFVIII really achieved that too well in terms of the villain, but it's still my fave of the series for some reason.

this game rocks relli but there is a few points that could be improved if they make a remake of it like the tutorials at the begining which do take forever and also the drawing magic was a bit rubbish because of the fact it takes to long to get a decent amount of magic spells like 100 at the start of the game...

There were a few threads that were made recently beating a Final Fantasy game. I've created a thread where you can post about your review on the game.

If you have beaten Final Fantasy VIII for the first time...Please post your Final Fantasy I reviews here.

If you beat Final Fantasy VIII already and still want to write a review, then go ahead.

Everything was brilliant except from having to draw magic

Edit: Put a little more effort into your posts. Thank you ^^

I agree about the tutorials; I love Quistis, but I just wanna throttle her every time I see a tutorial open up. But the fact that drawing magic is hard is kinda the point. It's work to get 100 spells, but when you've got them, it makes the game easier. It's the same as leveling up; it takes time and work, and you're not expected to have 100 spells or be at a high level when you're at the beginning of the game.

The GARDEN!! Yes, Yes...That was literally H-E double hockeystick! Going around 'WHERE IS QUISTIS?! OMG!? IM LOOOSST!" "I don't know how to battle quisties. Please give me the worst tutorial ever." F**K! EVIL EVIL EVILL! But once the end of disc one came I was like omgomgomgomgomgomg! SUSPENSE IS BURNING IN MY MIND!!! OOH!!! SO ya, I don't know how to play triple triad, at ALL! I watched the tutorial, crap. So I guess 7/10 so far...I'm still in prison with everybody from shooting Mrs. Edea evil butt crack. (thats what my six year old brother calls her lol.)
