Pros: Great graphics, good story Cons: battle system
If this were any other role playing game, it would be great. However, I felt that this game is the bastard step-child of the Final Fantasy series. What's wrong with this game? Is it the graphics? No, the graphics are good. The cut scenes are some of...

Pros: Awesome Graphics, nice story-line. Cons: "drawing", magic, mini-games, weapon upgrading.
Final Fantasy VIII is a game that truly marks a classic, the Final Fantasy Series. It has excellent characters, awesome battles, and truly powerful special effects. There are some downsides to this great game.
Unlike in the other Final...

Pros: Visually Stunning, Amazing Cinematics Cons: Small Party Size, Slow Story Beginning
I'm still a huge fan of the classic Final Fantasy style, with an overhead map and a battle screen being all you get to see, but I'm so set in my ways that I cannot enjoy FF8 with it's highly detailed landscapes and cityscapes.
Visually, the...

Pros: Long, addictive, great graphics. Cons: Too adult-ish, complicated, the GFs' attacks grow old, and that stupid card game!
I think Square is going a little too far with the grown-up look for the Final Fantasy series now. Back in the day of Nintendo and the original FF, the characters and storyline wasn't so "Adult." With this new, more mature, feel to the game,...

Pros: The one song "Eyes on Me" Cons: Fun factor, replay value, and about everything else
I heard so many good things about this game, so I bought it. After the first cinematic scequence, I was, like, "Whoa, this is gonna be cool.". But it wasn't. The game hardly has a plot. If it does, then it'll take a genius to figure it out. FF7...

Pros: The unique Guardian Forces Cons: The camera angles
I had recently purchased Final Fantasy VII, and the moment I had started playing it I had become addicted. So when I heard about Final Fantasy VIII coming out soon, I knew I had to get it. So I went to my local electronics and software store and bought...

Pros: Great graphics Cons: Very bored quickly
I bought final fantasy, because i saw my friend play it a little bit, but after I bought and got to the second cd, I got very board quick, the reason it did not have many roleplaying elements to it compare to a game like baldur's gate.

Pros: graphics, and game-play Cons: none
Final Fantasy VIII, is something to remember for several reasons. The first reason is the story line I know that we all love those "AWESOME" SquareSoft stories. The very close second would definitly be the characters, these are...

Pros: Graphics and story line Cons: None
This game is by far the best of the final fantasy selection. It has better graphics and a great new selection of people, limit breakers, and weapons. My favorite attribute about this game is it's Guardian Forces. Another great thing about this game is...

Pros: incredible graphics. music quality improved, sound, gaming system Cons: lack of well thought-out, complex story
How I waited for this game. Words cannot describe the excitement I held towards this game's release back in September of 99'. It came out just a few days before my birthday, and I was dying to get it before hand. Boy, if you could see the expression...

Pros: even if you don't understand it you can enjoy it Cons: pretty costly
I bought this game for my husband when it came out. He loves it. I myself who doesn't usually care for the RPG games found it pretty interesting. I found the graphics remarkable. There is also a nice little love story that evolves. Which in my case is...

Pros: Great gameplay, innovative Junction System. Cons: Short, not as good a story as previous games sub-par music
When this game first came out in Japan I bought it and loved it. But after the glee of having purchased an import right away wore off, I found myself unsatisfied. When the English version came out I bought it and loved it. After a while, I once again...

Pros: Excellent new systems-junctioning, combat, level gaining, and weapon upgrades Cons: GF summoning gets lengthy and annoying after the first few times
Square has done it again, folks. They have brought another RPG to great lengths through a compelling story riddled with some great moments in gaming. Final Fantasy 8 delivered everything Square is known for and then some. From the opening CG movie,...
