Pros: Fantastic graphics, easily learned gameplay and immense depth of storyline
Cons: Non-traditional system of pay and weapons upgrades may turn off old-school RPG players.

That was my first word when I laid eyes on Final Fantasy Eight. Wow. Four disks long. I knew damned well that this game was going to take a big chunk out of my life (not to mention my memory card!) and I was right.

I spent one weekend with...

Pros: This game has it all: A wonderful plot, setting and great characters
Cons: Like all Final Fantasies it had a linear plot

Before I playe Final Fantasy 8 I had heard many people say the game wasn't worth it. People from many places have displayed there unhappiness with the game and continue to o so today, but one thing I forgot to ask those people before I played was...

Pros: easy controls, great graphics, great storyline, excellent cinematic breaks
Cons: the junctioning system is a bit confusing at first but it get's easier

I love this game! I rented it for just two nights, and I was already hooked. I immedeately got a good feel for the game, the controls were simple to understand, and I thought that the graphics were AMAZING!!
I've played final fantasy VII and...

Pros: Gameplay,storyline,graphics, 4 CDs
Cons: No armor, somewhat difficult for new users

Squaresoft really outdid themselves this time. Final Fantasy 8 is absolutley marvelous with it's CGI movies, gameplay and storyline.
FF8 is about Squall Leonhart and his SeeD group who must overthrow the evil sorceress before all heck breaks...

Pros: incredible cinematic presentation, excellent soundtrack, deep, entrancing gameplay
Cons: battling consists of nothing more than repeated GF summons

Squaresoft's FF8 does it's best to harness the energy, emotion and entertainment value(s) of the previous 7 games in the series only to fail miserably. Put simply, this is NOT a real Final Fantasy game, at least not according to rabid FF fans....

Pros: Graphics, music, long gameplay, and storyline are all good
Cons: not very many mini-games

Many people believe that Final Fantasy VIII is simple the 'next of the line' in the Final Fantasy series and it is not as good as Final Fantasy VII. In many ways I have to agree and disagree. First of all, personally I believe Final Fantasy VII is...

Pros: Characters, FMV, Storyline, Music, junction system everything...completely different to ff7
Cons: The Laguna scenes were a little boring

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, ...

Pros: Graphics, ability to run, characters, story
Cons: trying to learn the card game.

This beats FF VII. The graphics are ten times better no holding down a button to run around. characters are great. This game is a big WOW!!
First I checked Reviews about this game and all I heard was good stuff. So I tried it out and now all I...

Pros: Graphics, storyline
Cons: storyline

Overall, I love this game!

The graphics are really great. The characters have realistic movement, the FMV sequences are so good that I'll save before them just so I can watch them over. Even the regular graphics are good. My dad walked in...

Pros: Excellent graphics and storyline
Cons: Some battles are very repetitive

I started playing the Final Fantasy series with FF7 and immediately loved it. But FF8 has taken RPGs to a whole new level. The graphics are amazingly realistic and the storyline keeps unfolding and getting more interesting. Unlike FF7, the backup...

Pros: Skill system, Storyline, CG graphic
Cons: how can there be anything wrong for Final Fantasy, are you crazy?

Like always, Squaresoft has out-done themselves again. Final Fantasy 8 is probably one of the Best RPG games of all time, since the beginning of time. The Final Fantasy series really lives up to its reputation.

The storyline is fantastic!...

Pros: story, game play, MUSIC
Cons: none

Final Fantasy VIII is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The story line is great, as you travel throughout all four discs. You start out as a seed for garden, who goes on missions for certain customers. Then the sorceress problems come...

Pros: Hugely Engrossing. The grapics still manage to hold up.
Cons: It ends. There could have been more character growth.

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 ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

This time Square Soft has out done itself! This games goes beyond all the Final Fantasy's. With the same plot but new way of going about it! From the Grafics to the weapons and characters involved! Nothing, in my opinion, on the market today comes...

Pros: Engaging story-line, interesting characters, side-quests and other things to do to enhance the game as well as the story
Cons: I'll get back to you

Hmm, maybe because gamers say "Final(ly)!" when one of these renowned rpgs is released! Just like the Hitchhiker's "trilogy", the Final Fantasy series is an increasingly misnomered rpg series, though I'm not complaining. Final Fantasy...
