Pros: If you love movie like sequinces, and in-depth gaming, this is the game for you. Cons: If you dont like to read alot, this isnt the game for you.
FF8 is as good as rpg gets. For the low price of 40.00 you have perfect, percise graphics, and pure gaming fun. I choose this games for two reasons, I wanted the next version of the Final Fantasy series, and I love the fact that Squaresoft handles...

Pros: Great game Cons: Lacks in a few areas
Under the suggestions for writing an Epinion, one of the first is to tell the reader 'why' you bought the product. Well, that's about pointless for this review, 'cause I'm sure that just about EVERYONE bought this game not because the commercials were...

Pros: graphics, story Cons: music is a little weak and GF animations are repetitive
Square established itself as the premier company for RPGs with the Final Fantasy series. I have been able to play every single one of the Final Fantasy games, 1-8, and each one has been an improvement upon its predecessor. Each game remains a...

Pros: Mind shattering graphics! Cons: A little too much role play when you want to fight
I have to begin by saying that as a devout final fantasy VII fanatic, I was a little skeptical when I saw the display in the software store's window. It was the early stages, so they weren't showing much detail to the product being endorsed..the ol'...

Pros: Great graphics, good story Cons: battle system
If this were any other role playing game, it would be great. However, I felt that this game is the bastard step-child of the Final Fantasy series. What's wrong with this game? Is it the graphics? No, the graphics are good. The cut scenes are some of...

Pros: graphics, CGI scenes, gameplay, well defined characters, open ended junctioning system, fun subquests/card game Cons: boring GF sequences, too easy of a magic system, corny and predictable storyline, terrible weapons upgrading
Final Fantasy VIII is a great game, I won't deny that. The graphics and gameplay are a great improvement over the previous Final Fantasies. The CGI scenes are incredible, seamlessly built into the gameplay, and occur all the time! The characters for this...

Pros: Detail in sound, graphics, and gameplay; addicting storyline Cons: Random battles sometimes seem too often
Final Fantasy VIII is by far the most stunning game on the Playstation game console. The awe-inspiring graphics pushed the system to its limits, and no other game on the Playstation at the time of its release came close to looking as magnificent as this...

Pros: Graphics, Graphics, Graphics! Cons: Took some time to learn
By far the best Final Fantasy game yet, The graphics blow FF7 out of the water. Gameplay is fantanstic as is the story line. Two things that disspleased me were the Elaberate dialouge and the complicated junctioning feature.
Junctioning is...

Pros: Awesome Graphics, nice story-line. Cons: "drawing", magic, mini-games, weapon upgrading.
Final Fantasy VIII is a game that truly marks a classic, the Final Fantasy Series. It has excellent characters, awesome battles, and truly powerful special effects. There are some downsides to this great game.
Unlike in the other Final...

Pros: the fmv, cg ,graphics Cons: storyline,gameplay, repetitive sound
I simply bought this game because I thought "hey square is usually on top of their rpg game" well little did I know that after about 2 hours in the 3rd disc i came to the conclusion that Square made a giant boo-boo.
First let me say...

Pros: Amazing graphics, FMV is outstanding, good story Cons: Too similar to FFVII, story not as good as it could have been, the Junction System is more annoying then its worth
I remember when Final Fantasy VII first came out all the way back in September of 1997. The fact that it was so remarkably different than Final Fantasy VI in graphics and nature, I was drawn in immediately. The game just breathed with new life. It was...

Pros: It's made by Squaresoft....What else can you say? Cons: Not as good as I thought.
This game was not as good as I thought. After playing Final Fantasy VII, I expected a better game to come out. After playing Final Fantasy VIII, I compared the two games. Overall, Final Fantasy VII came out the winner. FF8 didn't have too many mini...

Pros: graphics Cons: game play style.. not enough limit breaks
Truthfully, I have been a loyal, FF-er for quite a while. Final Fantasy is one of my favorite game series. However, in VIII, I thought there was something a little more less "puhzzazz" than the first couple of em. This time, instead of using...

by Rare_Thunder , Jul 17 '00
Pros: GREAT Graphics, unique gameplay elelments Cons: TERRIBLE storyline and empty hollow characters
What really makes an RPG? Graphics would be near the end of my list when judging an RPG. To be a truely great RPG it must have a well written story with characters who develope and change and grow and learn constantly throughout the entire game. FF 8 may...
