Final fantasy VIII is one of my favorite rpg of the final fantasy series

Sadly, Final Fantasy VIII is a bitter step back for the series, a decent, borderline good RPG, but not worthy of the Final Fantasy name

Reviews around graphic (4.04 of 5)
-
Final Fantasy VIII brings together a great cast of characters, a great story/plot, and some of the best graphics on a playstation game
-
When I played this game there were no good graphics the game had NO STORYLINE AT ALL
-
The graphics are worse than the last game, and you can barely see the figures
-
The graphics are da bomb, the characters are great & have their own style
-
Like all Final Fantasy game the graphics were amazing as was the gameplay.

Reviews around music (3.99 of 5)
-
The higher points in this game were the complex battle system and the orchestrated music
-
The music is wonderful, the story is still very good, and the game play is excellent.
-
In fact, the music in Ultimecia castle sent chills down my
-
I think that it started out as a great game, good gameplay, excellent graphics, mesmerizing music and a decent plot.
-
The music, which is usually four star quality for final fantasy games, was horrible

, I thought it was a great game, but not a great Final Fantasy game.
-
Simply put this game is my favorite Final Fantasy in the series
-
One of the best Final Fantasy games, if not THE best in the series
-
Any die-hard final fantasy player would have to give each game some credit

This is, in my opinion, the worst Final Fantasy game ever

Reviews around storyline (3.80 of 5)
-
the storyline is terrible and the characters are too real looking.
-
The best thing about a Final Fantasy game is the amazing storyline
-
The storyline can be a bit confusing though, which can take away from the fun.
-
This is still a good game to have in the collection, good storyline and great characters.

The storyline didn't have me screaming for more (just being honest)

Reviews around ff8 (3.63 of 5)
-
FF8 takes a stab at a rather unique combat system, which is great, but the problem is it doesn't work very well
-
Now i love FF8, but to me it lacks the Fantasy feel, there is way too
-
FF8 is by far the worst of the Final Fantasy games, to the point of me wishing I'd never bought it, and just skipped to 9, which made everything all better
-
Lunar:SSSC is another great game that topples FF8 as well.
-
A lot of people say its FF7, but wow, I thought FF8 was a huge improvement

Reviews around magic (3.62 of 5)
-
back to FFVIII.Not only does this game discourage leveling up, it discourages using magic, using guardian forces (in battle)
-
It also has unique weapons and an unlimited magic system
-
The game has trains and airships, along with great beasts and magic.
-
The junctioning system was kind of annoying and I wish the magic would have been more useful, but all in all it was a great game to play again.
-
One if them is that you have to stock magic and lose 1 quantity every time you use it

Reviews around gameplay (3.61 of 5)
-
Unfortunately, the gameplay is as dull as an RPG can get, and the "deep" junction system pales in comparison to FF7's well-done materia system
-
The storyline was not great, but it didn't have a hindering and time consuming combat system to disturb my gameplay.
-
Starts off great, leaving you wanting more, but only deteriorates as it moves on to the third and fourth discs.- The Junction System
-
The gameplay, although not the best of the series, is pretty good
-
The reason why I rate this game like this is because the storyline is very good and the gameplay is very fun

Reviews around story (3.55 of 5)
-
While you learn to compensate for bad control over the time that you play the game, you can't fix bad play mechanics, a terrible story, or boring characters
-
The story is great, just as any other Final Fantasy game
-
It is really unrealistic, I know, it's a final fantasy game, but the story is stupid.
-
This is a great game to play with what I think is the best Final Fantasy story yet
-
And the characters aren't the only bad part, the story is just boring

Reviews around character (3.43 of 5)
-
* Squall continues the paradigm set by Cloud, in that they have to stick the worst or one of the worst characters in the game, as the main character
-
The characters in this game definitely make it the best.
-
These characters are perhaps the most boring of all time
-
This is still a good game to have in the collection, good storyline and great characters.
-
They attack the realistic character design in favor of cartoonish disproportionate characters.

I would definetely recommend this game to anyone whos a dire fan of Final Fantasy or looking to complete a set
-
If you are a die-hard FF fan, then you probably already own this
-
This is a truly wonderful, all-consuming gaming experience, and I can only hope that, once I finish, I'll find Final Fantasy VII and IX to be just as engrossing.

Well, Im a huge fan of Final Fantasy Series, I actually own Super Nintendo's Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Reviews around squall (2.60 of 5)
-
People attacked Squall for being boring and Rinoa for being
-
Squall and Rinoa never truly have a bond in the game, but Squall falls madly in love with her
-
I think many people didn't like Squall because they knew someone like him in real life
-
The characters in FF8 are fresh and new, and the main character, Squall is kind of like Cloud with that
-
My other problem with the character development is Squall and Rinoa's love story.

Reviews around boss (2.29 of 5)
-
Seventh, Omega Weapon serves a good chalenge, being the most powerful optional boss in any FF game
-
Where it falls short of VII is the plot, which just isn't as good, mainly because you dont meet the final boss until the very end of the game (also a criticism of IX).
-
The only bad part was how easy the bosses in the final tower were
-
Some people will just save them for the boss battles but either your characters will be at a decent stat level after all the drawing or the instant you summon a GF some bosses will go ballistic on the summoner and severely hurt or kill your GF
-
However, dispite it's short comings it still is a good game and more casual gamer friendly since extensive training isn't reqiured to defeat hard bosses

Reviews around world (2.05 of 5)
-
The story takes place in more of a futuristic setting as did part 7, but this game is in a much more colorful bright world (although the story is far from bright and colorful).
-
A select few will actually like this sappy love story mixed with something about a summoner going to destroy the world and some other junk that I just didn't care about
-
If you enjoy beautiful cutscenes, well-characterized party members and expansive world maps, pick this one up.
-
the gf's, junction and draw system was amazing and very usefull, the limit breaks were amazing too, the world, the ragnorak, the garden, esthar, balamb, fishermans horizen, everytown and city, plus the amazing space, was fantastic, just perfect

The graphics aren't the most consistent, i.e. the 2-d scenery for the cities

Reviews around bite (1.83 of 5)
-
Its a bit hard for ff newbies but just read the tutorials and you will get the hang of it
-
Final Fantasy VIII is incredible to look at, but some of its visuals just look a bit sloppier
-
Great story, a bit of a confusing junction system, but characters are likable and music is memorable

Even with a my leaky memory, my impression is that the PS2 version is a bit solider graphically.

Every character's Limit break is unique and fun to use.

I have beaten this game with minimal, to no usage of my GF's, or magic-only using regular attacks and limit breaks

Anyways, I love this game as it provides a new and rich feel to the Final Fantasy Franchise

Reviews around plot twist (1.41 of 5)

The story is well thought out and it has quite a few strange plot twists

Like a poorly made patchwork quilt, it blatantly stole plot twists from other games... usually the stupid or bad plot twists, too.

The latest features such as Dolby Surround Sound Pocket Station compatibility and CG movie integration have also been incorporated into this masterpiece making this title a showcase in technological game advancements.Format: PSX Genre: RPG (VG)/ Rating: T - Teen UPC: 662248999043 Manufacturer No: 9758 Amazon.com SquareSoft has always had a sure-fire hit when releasing any of their Final Fantasy titles, and Final Fantasy VIII should be no exception
-
The basis of a good RPG (role-playing game) has always been the story; spectacular graphics are secondary
-
Final Fantasy VIII's involved and interesting story line is filled with great twists, well-developed characters, suspense, and romance
-
As an added bonus, the graphics are beautiful
-
Everything--from the low-lit jazz club to the steam-filled railroad tunnels--is gorgeous and perfectly sets the mood and tone of a scene
-
The game mechanics are standard fare for an RPG: acquisition of items and spells, turn-based combat, experience points earned in combat allowing advances in levels
-
From exploration to battles to dialogue, Final Fantasy VIII has it all
-
However, Final Fantasy VIII falls to that great weakness of RPGs: random battles
-
While necessary for advancing in levels, the battles occur with such frequency that they can grow annoying, making for a tedious game experience
-
The epic storyline spans four discs--over 40 hours of gameplay--and is based around a mercenary cadet who finds himself caught up with an underground rebel faction
-
He winds up in a plot to assassinate the sorceress who has just seized power from the president
-
You could complain of limited replay value, but this gripe is of no consequence: the game is such a satisfying experience, it doesn't require replay
-
Final Fantasy VIII is easily worth both the hype and the wait
-
You can't buy a much better game
