Pros: New Graphics and sound
Cons: not a game you can pick up and play right away

This game has excellent 3D effects and sound. Compared to the previous Final Fantasy games. However, you must be prepared because this game gets to be extremely addicting. I am not a real hardcore Final Fantasy fan, but I can recognize a good game when I...

Pros: Best graphics yet!
Cons: No Chocobo Breeding!

Final Fantasy 8 is more of a work of art than a video game. It's graphics are the best I've ever seen, and the storyline is complex with detail. I love the game's new features. Final Fantasy 7 did not have a card game intrigation built into the storyline...

Pros: great graphics, great music, great plot
Cons: too easy

FF VIII is a game that is beautiful in graphic design, has wonderful music score, and an interesting plot. However, the one thing it lacks is difficulty. If one has never played another Final Fantasy game before they will probably be satisfied with the...

Pros: It Has THE Best Story Line In The Series!
Cons: The Battle System And The Random Battles!

I bought this game on 9/8/99, one day before it's scheduled release and I was so excited when I saw the first scenes of Seifer slicing a nice chunk of the Leo DiCaprio look-alike. I started the game and was very happy about the way the tutorial is...

Pros: Great Graphics!!!!
Cons: The story lags a little on Disc 2-3 but it picks up...

Final Fantasy VIII it had the awesome responsibility to live up to its predecessor, FFVII,
and it made it! The graphics for one things are spectacular, as can be see the opening
scene, an intense gunblade duel between two rivals. The...

Pros: card game
Cons: It exists

*This review is spoiler free, because a spoiler is when I ruin the game. The game is already ruined. But I do talk about the plot.*

Let me start off by saying I love Squaresoft. ALMOST every game they have made I have enjoyed. I am a large...

Pros: Great graphics, decent story, interactive combat
Cons: weak gameplay, poor character development

Final Fantasy VIII had the pontential of being the greatest Final Fantasy ever. Finally shunning the super-deformed characters in favor of realistic looking people. Unfortunatly, it fell short in two of the most important catagories of an RPG, character...

Pros: Oh-so beautiful sound and graphics. Highly involved plot.
Cons: World seems smaller, some basic concepts confusing at first.

I have played every Final Fantasy title that was widely released in America since the first arrived for Nintendo. I have never, ever been disappointed in the updated graphics and sound. As I flipped on the game and watched the intro, I actually had...

Pros: fun, good graphics
Cons: boring at some parts though

FF8 was a great game by far. I don't think it is better than FF7 though. The plot is better. But FF7 isn't as boring. In this Final Fantasy adventure you are starring Squall Leonhart a shy person who gave himself a reputation as a lonewolf. You find out...

Pros: fun, challenging, long, great game
Cons: not as good as ff7

Well, Final Fantasy 8 is right up there with Final Fantasy 7, only under it. It's got everything final fantasy had but, it's not quite there.

Hightpoints:
-smooth graphics
-great storyline, could have been better I think
...

Pros: Awesome movie sequences and music!!
Cons: Very non-linear, sometimes can be confusing.

I have played the all the Final Fantasy series of games (US versions only...) many times over. Final Fantasy 8 is well... are we sure it's a Final Fantasy game?

Basic plot, you have what appear to be large universities called "Gardens" where...

Pros: junctioning magic, lots of enemies
Cons: easy, boring, very long, few eapons, few characters, boring story line, predictable

After playing this game through to the 4th disk i found no deisre left to complete the game. It got boring, very boring. The random incounters and linear story line put me to sleep.

No matter what i did stuff would end up the way it was...

Pros: Great Graphics, Intense music, an overall awesome game
Cons: New "junction" system is confusing needs more emotion and feeling put into the game

Final Fantasy 8 is out!! The newest edition to the Final Fantasy series. Will this game be as good as you expected? In my opinion, it was a great game, but a little more time could have been put into it.
Final Fantasy, undoubtedly is a great...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, models, movie sequences
Cons: I hated the ending.

About two years ago when I first saw the introduction of this game in Japanese... I thought to myself: I must get it. I made my boyfriend promise me that I could play it before he did... and after a lot of persuasion he reluctantly agreed. I am an...

Pros: its a Final Fantasy game
Cons: flashy graphics takes away from the story and general game play. The junction system is killing the Final Fantasy Environment

I have been a loyal fan of Final Fantasy games since the very begining. Final Fantasy 7 was the only reason I ever bought a play station. These reason are why I am totally disgusted with squaresoft's new approach to FF games.

When I first...
