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...

Pros: excellent storyline, excellent gameplay, long and very addictive Cons: poor fourth disc, magic spells a bit weak

Pros: The story, FMV, characters, and everything else! Cons: Guardian Force cinema's too long
Now, this game is a piece of art! From the opening sequence on, this game grabs hold of you and doesn't let go. The story is one of Square's best, but still isn't as good as Final Fantasy VII's. The FMV is THE BEST!!! I still can't get enough! This...

Pros: Great Graphics Cons: Absolutely no replay value
This game is probably the worst of the Final Fantasy series. Even though it is a mediocre game it is not good compared to the others of the Final Fantasy Series. It started out good but there is no replay value at all. The ending CG movie also sucks...

Pros: Great game, Cool ending movie and ending theme Cons: Too short and easy
Final Fantasy 8 brings the rpg genre to the next level.Superb graphics, awesome music, and very cool story. As we all know FF8's theme is about love, which is very unique since no rpg or any other games out there that tackles this subject.
Like any...

Pros: Graphics, Quistis, Irvine, Vicks, Wedge, The Plot (Which is still good even if it's not as complex as FF6 or 7) Cons: *Zell*, Doesn't quite have the same detail of story as the other FFs but still good.
Back when I was in high school and just finished playing FF6 I asked myself internally if we'd ever see computer graphics so detailed that it would be hard to tell the difference between the CG and a filmed person. With the comming of FF8 my question...

Pros: Great graphics and game play Cons: Hard to find things
Final Fantasy Eight is the best role playing game ever, with the greatest graphics to support it. This one tops them all, Final Fantasy 1-7! You will be amazed by the whole game, it has every thing: Great graphics, sound effects and even the...

Pros: graphics, story Cons: music is a little weak and GF animations are repetitive
Square established itself as the premier company for RPGs with the Final Fantasy series. I have been able to play every single one of the Final Fantasy games, 1-8, and each one has been an improvement upon its predecessor. Each game remains a...

Pros: Storyline,cinemas,graphics. Cons: Is a little complex at first
Square has always amazed us with their FF series even in the SNES for a couple of reasons: graphics,sound, gameplay but overall in story,plot and character development. In FFVII they proved they could do a very long epic story that had elements from...

Pros: The Game ROCKS.. Best of the Final Fantasy Series Cons: Edios was the sole designer of it.. Maybe the only realistic Final Fantasy game made..
I admit it, I've always been a hardcore Final Fantasy fan since the day of the Nintendo.. and as each game advanced, the games became more and more realistic.. I broke away for a while from the role-playing frequency.. And came back with my Playstation...

Pros: Breath-taking graphics, full FMVs, easy controls, interesting plot, many hours of gameplay Cons: Long dialogue text and story gets confusing
Ever so often does a video game push its console limits to the max...Final Fantasy VIII is one of those games. The 8th installment of the Final Fantasy series, and the 2nd installment on the Playstation game console, FFVIII is one of the best RPGs ever...

Pros: Incredible Graphics, Involving Storyline, Interesting Characters, Hours upon Hours of Gameplay Cons: Some bugs, some characters are annoying, plotline is a bit thin for experienced gamer.
Final Fantasy 8 was released in late 1999 I believe, and it set the standard for FMVs and simply graphics in general. It rotates around a young adult named Squall, who's enlisted in a mercenary group known as SeeD. The first portion of the game, you go...

Pros: Did I say the graphics because I'm not sure and the music Cons: The endless random battles. A fight every other step come on!
As long as the words Squaresoft's Final Fantasy is printed on the box I will buy it. I don't know how they do it but every Final Fantasy title that Squaresoft churns out is a hit. Though we didn't get them all(hopefully we will on Playstation2) it is a...

Pros: Great story, graphics, and sound... Cons: Junction system sucks, to envolved a game for casual people
First of all, let me say that I loved Final Fantasy VII. That game was the peak of console roleplaying. That said, I expected Final Fantasy VIII to be an improvement, but basically the same. THis is where I went wrong.
Don't get me wrong,...

Pros: Another great Squaresoft offering! Cons: Not for the impatient: it takes dozens of hours to complete.
I have been a Final Fantasy fan since their first releases on the Nintendo system (FF Mystic Quest, FF II, FF III). Since I enjoyed FF VII so thoroughly, I looked forward to the release of FF VIII with high hopes. I wasn't disappointed, either. The...
