Pros: great graphics Cons: repetitive
Let me start off by saying that I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series. I have spent many hours from the series time on the NES to its super Nintendo days all the way up to the glorious spectacle that is Final Fantasy VIII. I waited with...

Pros: Great graphics and film sequences Cons: being unable to play nonstop
Final Fantasy 8 is one of the best games i have ever played! I have been a long time fan of video games as it is but never a big fan of roleplaying games as I have always thought them to be very similar. However, after seeing the commercials on TV I...

Pros: Amazing graphics and animations, overall fun to play. Cons: Very long. Very, very long.
This game is amazing to watch, especially when the game takes over and animations are shown. During fight scenes, the action is very clear and awesome, especially magic, but nothing can surpass the elaborate guardian force animations. Some of them...

If you are looking for a great game that will have your mouth watering and your concept of what a game should be raised to infinite standards then FFVIII is the game for you. This is a mammoth of a game. If you like RPG's and action adventure games try...

Pros: Wonderful story, great characters. Cons: The magic draw system can be a little tedious.
I have been playing Final Fantasy since the first one came out on the old Nintendo Entertainment system. I played all the ones that came out on north american shores and even the ones that never seen the soil of this great country (thanks to emulators ;)...

Pros: Visuals Cons: ?
You won"t find a better RPG on the PSX this year, or any other year. This game has a long, exciting quest with a lot of plot twists, great gameplay, and the finest graphics you"ll see this year on the PSX. This year"s crummy crop of RPGs...

Pros: Insanely good graphics Cons: Nothing like Final fantasy 7
I enjoy RPG's. This one is the best I've ever seen. Those folks at SquareSoft have done it again!! Final Fantasy 8 is the most involved, well written, realistic game yet. The graphics, either in the animation or real time game play, are fantastic....

Pros: Everything........ Cons: ......except the ending
The most anticipated game of the year, and it deserves to be. Final Fantasy Eight was a great game. It was tough, but not so that you had to overheat your brain to play it. The junction system was a good idea, as was upgrading weapons and drawing...

Pros: dazzling CGs, compelling storyline, solid gameplay Cons: lacks replay value, plenty of room for improvement
In eager anticipation I began to tear through the plastic wrap and pour through Final Fantasy VIII's instruction booklet. I had been waiting for this game ever since the day I finished Final Fantasy VII. When I popped it into the playstation I found that...

Pros: Improved graphics, movies, and story. Cons: Too easy to beat.
FFVIII had its good points. An original plot, the new gunblade for Squall, some references to FFVII (Cloud's Junk Shop), and some humor made for a good game. However, there were equally as many not-so-good points about FFVIII. To begin with, the game...

Pros: awsome graphics, cinematic sequences, and music Cons: a poor story line and not nearly enough hours of gameplay as Final Fantasy VII.
Fans of the Final Fantasy series were pumped about the anticipated sequel the Final Fantasy VII. But though the graphics and music did indeed exceed the expectations and the hype, the game itself ended up a little behind.
Final Fantasy...

Pros: Good graphics, interesting new ideas Cons: Boring characters and story, bad ending, all HYPE
Well, after putting in my 30 hours or so behind this game, I was sorely disappointed. After all the hype, the commercials, demo's, and such, I was expecting the best FF game ever. I was wrong. This game barely keeps in touch with FF7, and I think the...

Pros: Great game play, awesome graphics, and outstanding full-motion video Cons: Sometimes hard to understand
I have played every Final Fantasy that they have ever made, and this one is the best yet. I bought this game the first day it was released to the public in the U.S. and I have been playing it ever since. When I bought the game I had some trouble with...
