Pros: Excellent cinemas and graphics
Cons: Character development a bit weaker than other Final Fantasies
Square never ceases to amaze me and every other gamer out there, Final Fantasy VIII delivers, yet again, a solid and definate masterpiece of a game. Its no surprise that Square is heading to the movie business with the Final Fantasy name, this...

Pros: Nice FMV's, good graphics, fun card game
Cons: not very good story (as far as I got anyway), junction system porvides nothing but tedious micromanagement, cant identify with and dont care about main character
First off, please dont track me down and kill me for this review...
Anyway, I am a big fan of the Final Fantasy series, having completed or almost completed FF 1, 4,5,6,7,8 (duh...or else i wouldnt be reviewing it), FFT (GREAT game!), and I am...

Pros: Graphics definitely, characters, world, music
Cons: Mainly the storyline, repetitive, uninteresting at many points in the game
I have beaten every final fantasy EVER made. This is the first time that I didn't enjoy it. Graphics are out of this world but graphics aren't everything. I was so disappointed with this, ESPECIALLY, after FF7. After Final Fantasy 6, I didn't think...

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, Enjoyable, Intelligent
Cons: Having to watch the GF's every time
Now a days most video games are advertised as great games, but end up being your basic shoot up game. Final Fantasy games are different. A game that entertains the player with high quality graphics and a great story line. I still haven't even beat the...

Pros: Top of the line graphics and sound
Cons: Over kill on seeing the GF's special abilities every time you call them out.
I purchased FFVIII because I had to see if it could out beat FFVII, and by all means it did!! I will always love FFVII, but it just can't compete with VII. The beginning of the game where it shows the fight between two of the main characters just drew...

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: Beautiful cut scenes, character graphics are huge improvement over FFVII
Cons: Confusing battle system, very difficult, boring character interaction.
A FEW GOOD POINTS
I finally finished playing Lunar 2 and decided to start Final Fantasy VIII next. The animation sequences are quite impressive and smooth. I wouldn't mind if the game consisted of more cut scenes than actual...

Pros: Graphics, Cinema scenes, GFs. Just an O.K. game.
Cons: The whole magic system, drawing, equipment and weapons.
First of all I'd like to say that FF8 isn't really that horrible, it's just O.K. I mean it's still an O.K. RPG if your looking for something that's not really a FF game. To me, FF8 doesn't seem like a FF at all, but instead just another RPG of some...

Pros: Interesting side events and "quirks"
Cons: Plot was dissappointment compaired to other Final Fantasies
This newest installment to the Final Fantasy series was a big dissappointment to me. While graphically advanced, it's plot was just not as gripping as earlier Final Fantasies. I felt that the plot was either focusing too little on characters or too...

Pros: There has been much dispute concerning the supremacy of Final Fantasies
Cons: Take a look at my argument and leave comments for feedback
I know how strongly people find themselves getting attached to RPG's. Posted on IGN.com are the "25 best PS games of all time", and much to my suprise FF8 was ranked several spots higher than 7. I read the reasons and couldn't believe what I was...

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: Graphics and engaging story
Cons: gameplay dependancy on summons
Final fantasy VIII is a good example of what happens when you take a good thing and push it way too far. Compared to its predecessor FFVII, FFVIII is just overwhelming in every sense of the word. There are too many spells, too much relying on summons,...

Pros: Laguna's story, Eyes on Me, FMV cutscenes and Triple Tirade!
Cons: The spectacularily un-amazing story, unlikable characters and the grainy, in-game graphics
What do I think about this game?
Where does my charmed first impression end and my dissapointment set in?
It's a good game, really. It's great the way time back-tracks itself, and the characters mature slowly, yet surely, but it just...
