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: 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: Superbly constructed, beautiful story
Cons: May be a little too engrossing

As a very, very picky RPG player, I waited months and months for this game, which promised to be everything I love in a game and more. This game doesn't play like a game...it's as though you are inside a superbly written fantasy novel. The animation is...

Pros: Graphics, story, characters
Cons: battle mode, in normal gameplay some fuzziness

Straight from the heart of a fellow rpg player. There are two games that go neck and neck when it comes to the best game on the market....one..... Star Ocean the Second Story. The other is Final Fantasy 8. Final Fantasy 8 really lays on the...

Pros: Graphics blow everything away, awesome story line
Cons: The trigger function gets a little tiresome

Final Fantasy 8 (hereafter FF8) is one of the top RPG's that I've ever played. The emphasis this time is on romance, and on the story, not on combat. FF8 has the best graphics I've ever seen, and the music sucks you into the story line. The story line...

Pros: Good Graphics and good story
Cons: sucky game play, play it only for the story and graphics

Squaresoft's Final Fantasy 8 was one of the worst rpgs that I had ever played. The game had a completely type new type of fighting style where you steal magic instead of actually learning it. Also, the new type of espers, GFs, have the ability to be sent...

Pros: 4 discs makes for long gameplay
Cons: some bug hard to learn controls.

Finial fantasy 8, the best finial fantasy if you ask me. A good long game I’ve had it for almost a year now and I still haven’t beaten it. I never really was a finial fantasy fan until, finial fantasy. The game comes with 4 discs,...

Pros: Excellent graphics, battle system, story line and music.
Cons: Can be very difficult to those who cannot figure it out.

Square revolutionizes the Final Fantasy series yet again with their latest addition: Final Fantasy VIII. Each Final Fantasy game possesses some quality which separates them from each other. With Final Fantasy VIII, these differences indicate that...

Pros: Great Graphics, Best Uematsu Soundtrack ever, Incredibly innovative
Cons: It's different, so nobody seems to want to give it a chance

I really can't figure out why everybody loves to bash FFVIII. The graphics are awesome, the main character is very well-developed, and the battle and ability system is very innovative and multi-faceted. I'm not really going to sit here and tell you...

Pros: Graphics, Game play, in-game videos.
Cons: Slow start.

Introduction: When Final Fantasy VII came out in 1997, it revolutionized the RPG industry. Finall ...

Pros: Characters, Graphics, Sound, Plot...Everything!
Cons: Not much...

Although all the nine, soon to be ten features of the adventurous RPG known as Final Fantasy are unsurpassed classics, it seems that Square have out done themselves this time...

Squall is a young graduate at the Military academy SEED. For his...

Pros: Beats me.
Cons: Everything

LOVE?! Why the hell did they include an entire game about that? I mean, Squall was a cold hearted SOB, and wouldn't love anyone. And what was with the sourceress? All of them that you had to fight, it was just boring. At least in FF7, you were...

Pros: Good graphics, original magic system.
Cons: Characters are terrible, poor defined and often annoying; ludicrous story; junctioning a failure.

I don't know what happened to Squaresoft but after finally completing the excellent Final Fantasy VII I was convinced this game would be at least as good. I don't think I have ever been more wrong. Let's see a list of main characters:
Squall:...

Pros: Graphics, soundtrack.
Cons: Plot, battle system.

I must say that I love Final Fantasy, but this one in particular was incredibly disappointing. I think this time Square was more interesting in showing the amazing graphics they can create instead of really developing the game...
I don't hate the...

Pros: great animation, powers, and characters
Cons: kinda time consuming

Man, I still remember when I finished FF8 - took me about 50 hours, but it was all worth it! =D The storyline was great and the music is enchanting! The animations and graphics were far superior than the previous FF's! They were just so good. I...
