Pros: Epic storyline; excellent graphics (for the time of release); great soundtrack.
Cons: The story becomes too drawn-out and convoluted; 4-discs is just too long.

It's possible that no "Final Fantasy" game has ever provided more fodder for heated debate than the series' eighth installment (and second for the Sony Playstation console), appropriately titled "Final Fantasy VIII" (FF8). What made the game so...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: Everything else

I remember when I received Final Fantasy VII for Playstation on my birthday. I thought that Final Fantasy had been resurrected on the Playstation, and the series was better than ever. And then, a year later, I bought Final Fantasy VIII. I truly felt...

Pros: Graphics, storyline
Cons: storyline

Overall, I love this game!

The graphics are really great. The characters have realistic movement, the FMV sequences are so good that I'll save before them just so I can watch them over. Even the regular graphics are good. My dad walked in...

Pros: Strong storyline, likable characters, amazing graphics and artwork, very different
Cons: A little TOO different for some, cumbersome junction system, disappointing soundtrack

For many people, Final Fantasy VIII went down in history as possibly the most disappointing game ever to grace the PSX. After all, Final Fantasy VII was and still is among the most successful RPGs ever to grace not only the PSX, but any game console for ...

Pros: Awesome graphics, beautiful soundtrack, amazing FMV, great story
Cons: A bit too complicated for its own good, undeveloped final boss, slow to get going

Intro:
Final Fantasy VIII, believe it or not was my first PlayStation game. Back when I had FFVII PC, the sequel had my itching to get my hands on it. So much I sent my mom to get it for me the day it came out even though I didn't own a PlayStation...

Pros: Completely overhauled graphics; Nobuo Uematsu's best compositions; Triple Triad
Cons: Repetitive GF sequences; Uninspired overworld theme.

Final Fantasy 8 may have been shunned by most gamers, but don’t let its bad rep
fool you. It is arguably the best in the series.

Final Fantasy 8
AT A GLANCE


Graphics = 4.5
No...

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: This game has it all: A wonderful plot, setting and great characters
Cons: Like all Final Fantasies it had a linear plot

Before I playe Final Fantasy 8 I had heard many people say the game wasn't worth it. People from many places have displayed there unhappiness with the game and continue to o so today, but one thing I forgot to ask those people before I played was...

Pros: Wonderful graphics, cool story
Cons: Music sucks, lack of strategy

The Final Fantasy series of games have been some of the most widely popular titles in video game history. As of right now, there are over ten different titles out there, with the latest one being Final Fantasy X for PlayStation 2. I understand that...

Pros: Very nice to look at, addictive card mini game, and a re-working of game mechanisms.
Cons: annoyingly addictive card mini game, way to much CGI and layers of in-game menus

Final Fantasy 8, a breakthrough in graphics for the Final Fantasy game family, pioneer of new gaming mechanisms, an one annoying game.

The game begins with a CGI sequence full of feathers, a mysterious asian girl in a long blue coat, several...

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: Gameplay, storyline, music
Cons: Graphics

Final Fantasy 8


When you first hear the words “Final Fantasy”, you think of RPG. That’s a totally right response. Final Fantasy 8, I think, is one of the most different Final Fantasies ever. It totally gives FF games a new name. The FF...

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: outstanding graphics, good sound, Zell
Cons: below mediocre story, somewhat boring characters

Final Fantasy Eight is one of those games that will make you look back on your life and wonder…why the blue hell did I ever buy this game? While it's not terribly horrible, it is a big disappointment from a company that usually produces solid, quality...

Pros: So Many things to Do
Cons: Slow Learning Curb, Battle System

Final Fantasy VIII is a great game but there are some flaws. The music and the graphics are superb.BUT! The plot and the battle system is just confusing at times. The plot is takes time to adjust to, for instance- after you have played through at least...
