Pros: nice graphics, good storyline
Cons: framerate slows a little at times
Summary: The only games that I ever played on my PlayStation were Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 9, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. I loved Final Fantasy 7 ever since I played a little bit of it at my friend’s house, and so it was the first game I bought with my ... read more

Pros: Beautiful graphics and sound. Complex and involving junctioning system. Breathtaking story and characters.
Cons: Junctioning system too complex! Battles are a bit simple. Story sometimes confusing. Pros outweigh cons!
Summary: After finally finishing the legendary Final Fantasy 7 and spying this beauty in the shops I ordered my parents to buy it for my birthday (I was only about 11). I came straight home to play and boy was I not disappointed. But boy was I surprised. I ... read more

Pros: Hugely Engrossing. The grapics still manage to hold up.
Cons: It ends. There could have been more character growth.
Summary: As far as the Final Fantasy series goes, the fans are divided. Some love VII & IX, while they can’t stand VIII. Me? I love VIII, X & X-2, and could never get into VII & IX. Yes, I know, if you aren’t familiar with the series, what I just said was nothing ... read more

Pros: Amazing storyline, cutting edge graphics, a vast world to explore
Cons: Awkward battle/magic system, no money for battles, monsters level-up with you
Summary: Think of a fairy tale that will never come true, and then think of this game. They are virtually the same. Final Fantasy VIII is the tale of a love story... a love story that, infact, can only happen on your television screen or in a book. A ... read more

Pros: Characters, FMV, Storyline, Music, junction system everything...completely different to ff7
Cons: The Laguna scenes were a little boring
Summary: Truly the best final fantasy by far and i know i'm not the only one who thinks so. The characters were easier to relate to and understand, they were extremely well developed and interesting which I found ff7 lacked. The characters, especially Squall, ... read more

Pros: Decent graphics. Interesting storyline.
Cons: Junction System!!!
Summary: Final Fantasy 8. Out of all the final fantasy games, I am sorry to say that this is my least favorite. It's not the storyline - I found it interesting albeit a little confusing. It's not the characters - though I must say the character development is a ... read more

Pros: Great characters, stunningly beautiful graphics, addictive card game, fun gameplay
Cons: Repetitive GF summons, plot could be better
Summary: I'll admit it-Final Fantasy 8 was my first in the series and my first RPG. Although I have a huge collection of video games, I’m probably not what one would see fit to label a *hardcore* gamer. With my miserable attention span, I typically need ... read more

Pros: Excellent storyline, stellar soundtrack and graphics.
Cons: Junction, Junction, Junction!
Summary: Have you ever thought of walking in the shoes of a member of an elite mercenary force? Like action, adventure, and drama? Fortunately for you, Squaresoft delivers all of this- and much, much more, in an unforgettable RPG: Final Fantasy VIII. ... read more

Pros: Awesome GFs, Great FMVs, Acceptable battle system, superior graphics over VII, LION HEART!
Cons: Melodrama, Cheesy dialogue, and that crazy biatch Selphie
Summary: My review title is a quote from Squall Leonhart, the protagonist for Final Fantasy VIII and by far the best RPG hero ever. I was actually influenced to act like him from time to time, especially when dealing with strangers or enemies. Squall's quote ... read more

Pros: Junctioning system is fun to play around with. Ending is awesome. Rinoa is cute.
Cons: Squall takes his sweet old time coming out. Drawing magic is tempting but tedious.
Summary: Of all the games in the Final Fantasy catalogue, VIII is the one which leads to the most debate. People either love this game or they hate it. I could try to talk about why. But you know what Yoda says, "There is no why." The thing ... read more

Pros: Creative design, highly detailed environments(backgrounds more use). Lots of CG movies.
Cons: Has some flaws in the game. Drawing system of magic takes forever depending on issues.
Summary: The plot was understandable (for me anyways), packed with action, customize your characters (level them up to become stronger, use magic to make them more efficient in different areas, like defense, speed, ect.), fight, fight, and fight some more to ... read more

Pros: Creative gameplay elements, the existence of Rinoa
Cons: Confusing, unbalanced gameplay elements, the existence of Squall
Summary: After the tremendous commercial success of Final Fantasy VII (and giving birth to the single most annoying individual game fanbase of our generation), Squaresoft obviously had a lot of work to do for an encore. And it's obvious they did a lot of work, as ... read more

Pros: it's deep like the ocean, and the j-pop song is OK too
Cons: the final boss has 4 forms to beat. real time graphics are a pixilated mess.
Summary: ladies and gentlemen of the videogame playing jury. I am a guilty man, i am guilty of loving this game. i am guilty of loving this game so much, that it ranks as no.2 of my top 5 favorite videogames of all time (with no.1 being final fantasy 6). and it's ... read more

Pros: Great graphics.
Superb soundtrack to go with it.
Good replay value.
Cons: Wierd camera angles in some scene.
Summary: What a game!!!! Many people have said to me, "Buy Final Fantasy VII, the storyline is really good" or "buy Final Fantasy IX, the graphics is breath-taking". Then I went home to think about it and finally I told myself "Okay! I'll go and buy Final Fantasy ... read more
