Pros: YOU NAME IT! Cons: YEAH RIGHT!
FINAL FANTASY VIII blows many of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing games away on just about every level. Simply compared to its predecessor, FINAL FANTASY VII, it's several steps up in game-making and game-play.
First of all, there are...

Pros: FF8 Cons: FF
To explain a Final Fantasy game is to dive into the depths of RPG greatness. I'll try and make that plunge into the waters of what they call a RPG with the series that revolutionized the genre, Final Fantasy. Many people will tell you that FF8 is nothing...

Pros: Stunning graphics, music, uncharacteristically good translation, lots of secrets to unearth Cons: Game goes -sloooooowly-; spell animations grow repetitive after the zillionth display; plot weak, overdone
It's gotta be tough to generate a game that's going to have the name "Final Fantasy VIII." It doesn't matter how many innovations you put in it, how stunning the artwork you draw, how intricate the orchestral arrangements, it just doesn't...

Pros: Excellent everything. Cons: Plot slightly ambiguous.
Final Fantasy VIII, in a nutshell, is a fabulous game. My only regret is that I didn't rush out to buy this game sooner than I did, because let's face it, Square Soft is the best company ever.
The graphics, of course, are no less than...

Pros: In this FF, there's no MP points! Cons: The game is way too short!
Could this actually be the last Final Fantasy? Don't think so. Or least I hope not, because if FF7 was good, and FF8 was better, that means FF9 is goona blow everyone away! This game is great because there are new characters and the they look way better...

Pros: Cool battle and leveling system, Monster system adds a challenge, Tries to fight Pokemon popularity (Gfs and Cards.), etc Cons: We wanted Mini-games, way to linear, GFs are way too powerful and essential, Lost Love Story, etc
Final Fantasy 8
After what seemed to be an eternity to be released, Final Fantasy 8 hit the US on 9/9/99 to match the Dreamcast’s popularity. Square has a well known history for making good games, but with a concept like love and some of the...

Pros: Fun, Adventure , Game Cons: Frustrating at times
I have been playing RPG's for quite some time now. (That's Role Playing Games if you didn't already know) However, I must admit that I have never enjoyed a games more than this. Action, Adventure, Romance, and enough side quests to keep you playing time...

Pros: excellent graphics, well thought out storyline Cons: way to many movie clips, seems as if they want to be like every other rpg now a days..there originality is what made them great until now.
Well, there i was, completely addicted to Final Fantasy 7, thinking to myself.."I CANT WAIT until Final Fantasy 8 comes out." The day it came out i rushed to the store to start yet another Final Fantasy quest, only to be extremely disappointed....

Pros: Everything, the graphics, the plot, the characters Cons: None, none at all
I recently rented a playstation and this game. I couldn't save it so I spent two days and two nights playing this game. I could not put it down. The only time I let go of the controller was to eat and use the washroom. This game lacks nothing....

Pros: The beginning and overall stories Cons: Too many story line gaps
No one disputes that Final Fantasy 8 is a good game, but I think that the story falls off as the fourth disc progresses. Any RPG fanatic will love this game and, if you haven't already, should buy it. I thought the story was great, especially in the...

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!
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 ...

Pros: Magnificent cinimas, inventive magic and limit break usage, controls are fabulous. Cons: Plot a little difficult to follow, monsters are mundane, music for battles monotonous.
The FF series strikes gold again as another video game deity will live on in the minds and hearts of all. I bought this game expecting the best (having bought FFVII). And, for the most part, I was not disappointed. First of all the story line draws you...

Pros: the game kicks Cons: none really
Okay, I know that this game came out a while ago and being a lover of RPG's I should have picked one up earlier, but now that I've completed the game I can die a happy man. The Story in the game is incredible with plot twists all the time keeping you...

Pros: graphics are great, easy to follow Cons: none
A little background on me, I am not a RPG player. My brother is, he has EVERYTHING RPG!! But when I saw this game I had to try it. So I sat down and had my brother teach me how to summon GF's and fight and use magic. Little by little I was learning to...

Pros: Great Game!! Cons: None
Final Fantasy is one of the best sets of games ever. You have to follow the game to know what to do next and you have to think about what is going on. It is not like other games where you just stare at the screen and press some buttons. In number eight...
