Final Fantasy at a low point.

by itswoodie , Mar 22 '00
Pros: Amazing graphics
Cons: Bad RPG game play
I am a HUGE fan of Role Playing Games (RPG's) especially for the playstation game console. I enjoy playing and reading the in depth story lines, and casting magical spells on monsters. In fact, my favorite game of all time was Final Fantasy VII....

Final Fantasy Marathon

by p00psniffer , Jan 07 '00
Pros: Excellent storyline, new characters
Cons: Too much drama
Not much can be said negatively about the Final Fantasy series. I've been playing Final Fantasy all throughout the past three releases. While i found Final Fantasy VII to be more enjoyable, the VIII release is still an "up all night" game....

Good... Not Great...

by Disco_Kerberos , Aug 18 '00
Pros: Its Final Fantasy!! And the graphics are nice...
Cons: Short for a Final Fantasy. Redundant and unimaginative combat. Poor resolution ruins the detail of the graphics.
I am a long time fan of Final Fantasy. I can personally say I have played every Final Fantasy title that has been released. I do indeed love the beautiful series. Each one had a unique story, captivating art, and a gorgeous soundtrack... But can there...

It's just too much

by Lacey , Dec 04 '99
Pros: graphics, battle scenes
Cons: the story
At first glance, Final Fantasy VIII looks to be a miraculous improvement from FF7. The graphics in both the movies and the game are very realistic.

But as I got further into the game, I found that there was just too much to the story, and...

Pure Fantasy

by rj4592 , Jan 18 '00
Pros: Realistic
Cons: hmmm...What's not to like
FF VIII is easily one of the best in the series. Everything has been improved upon compared to the previous chapter, and new, bold innovations in gameplay has made things more interesting and forces the player to refocus his or her strategy. Square...

The idiots at Square have killed Final Fantasy

by chancello2 , Jan 27 '00
Pros: It's pretty...
Cons: Repititive fighting mechanics, terrible music, pathetic excuse for a love story, abstract character gestures
Oh boy. Ya know, I honestly thought that this game was going to be good. I opened the packaging with my head filled with nogistalgic thoughts of how good Final Fantasy 6 and 7 were. The intro played. I was in awe at the beauty of the FMV and just how...

Amazing game.

by ikoy19 , Jul 09 '01
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.
Final Fantasy viii is Squaresoft's 8th Final Fantasy installment. This game came out about a year and a half after Final Fantasy vii did.

STORYLINE

You play as Squall is a soldier who joined SeeD, a sort of special unit...

Not Long Enough

by Sulzer , Jan 21 '00
Pros: YES
Cons: NONE
My first Final Fantasy games was the seventh one. I thought it blew me away. It took nearly 50 hours of playing time to finish. Of course nobody just plays them game 50 hours straight so it took a few weeks. I thought that the fighting graphics and...

The game that's impossible to turn off

by sands , Jan 08 '00
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...

Confusing the first time through...

by Chan_15 , Dec 26 '99
Pros: Awesome graphics, great love story
Cons: boring tuturials, characters weren't very interesting.
I loved this game. It has great graphics, a good story, and the most addictive mini-game ever(Triple Triad). This game was certainly different from previous Final Fantasy games. There isn't much of the 'fantasy' that FF6 and older games had. It's...

Fantasy Fanatic

by eric_tripp , Dec 07 '99
Pros: the full-motion videos
Cons: You fight every 3 steps you take
I've purchased FF8 and i'm glad to say that its worth the money. The characters are understandable. The story line is one that only the good people at square soft could come up with. its great! The main character Squall is a member of this elite team of...

Squaresoft Masterpiece?.....Maybe...

by The_Mace , Apr 05 '00
Pros: GRAPHICS, intriguing plot and some nice mini games
Cons: confusing junctioning system and battle system too reliant on Guardian Forces
The hugely popular and long running series of Final Fantasy by the magicians at Squaresoft have made a graphical masterpiece. An intricate storyline tells the adventures of a young mercenary named Sqaull. Sqaull is a very cold person who keeps to...

Not all it's cracked up to be.

by Jason_Caradine , Feb 16 '00
Pros: The characters are less cartoonish.
Cons: The game get's boring after the second disk.
Final Fantasy VIII was supposed to be the most acclaimed RPG of the year. I'll tell you what--it wasn't! The game may have improved graphics, but the story is so stupid, a child could've come up with it. Square should be very ashamed at what they just...
