Pros: Great graphics.
Superb soundtrack to go with it.
Good replay value. Cons: Wierd camera angles in some scene.
What a game!!!! Many people have said to me, "Buy Final Fantasy VII, the storyline is really good" or "buy Final Fantasy IX, the graphics is breath-taking". Then I went home to think about it and finally I told myself "Okay! I'll go and buy Final Fantasy...

Pros: great graphics, good story line Cons: not as good as FF7, GF sequences too repetetive
Following in the footsteps of Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8 is also set in a futuristic/modern day type setting. A young man named Squall meets a girl named Rinoa; who is the complete opposite of himself, a military warrior. Together they have to...

Pros: Graphics, You are taken into their world... Cons: Difficulty for those not familiar with RPGs
It was apparent when Square released Final Fantasy VII into the U.S. more than a year ago that they had a marketing plan to "trick" the world.
The commercials for VII only showed the gorgeous cut scenes, which were strategically...

Pros: Long; Fun and almost never boring; Great looking videos Cons: Junction system is really, really complex
Final Fantasy 8 is the 8th game in the Final Fantasy series, which is a very successful series as you may be able to tell. Final Fantasy is an RPG in which you walk around in a world, going along the storyline, and meeting people who join your group....

Pros: Beautiful graphics, innovative gameplay, gripping story Cons: Some characters aren't fully developed, the game may be too complex for some
OK, I played through Final Fantasy VIII a second time, I must say I'm actually pretty impressed. Now granted, I still don't think FFVIII is the greatest game of the series; in fact, if you ask me, it's fourth to FFIX, FFVI, and FFVII. But still, having...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, CG movies, story Cons: Long periods of monotony
I must admit I love and have played ever single Final Fantasy game released in the U.S. This game is no exception. The backgrounds and environments are superbly done. The music by Nobuo Uematsu is excellent topped off by "Eyes On Me" sung by...

Pros: Visuals and storyline... somewhat... I guess. Cons: Uematsu-san's awful downfall in the music department, monotonous gameplay, awful character design and the sheer superficiality of it...
As cliche as my review title may be, it's true -- what is a game with excellent graphics without the gameplay to back it up?
Ok, so perhaps I should start from the beginning. Everyone knows the Final Fantasy name. Well, quite a few people do...

Pros: Great story, good graphics, and beautiful music Cons: Takes some getting use to the new features, Story doesn’t quite pick up until later on.
The latest sequel to the most popular RPG franchise is quite possibly one of the greatest games ever made, for any system. Now, I’m not much of a hardcore RPG player as I’ve only gotten into playing RPG’s recently, but I know a great RPG when I see it,...

Pros: A slide-show of masterfully rendered eye-candy. Cons: Decidedly slow plot development and a hollow cast.
Ah, the Final Fantasy Series. As far back as I can remember in my console gaming experience, they've been one of the first things I would buy. I've got all of them released in the states, and soon I'll be recieving the next installment. They have always...

Pros: excellent graphics, storyline, and keeps you on your toes (plus, the Triple Triad!) Cons: junctioning system a bit too complicated and takes time to learn, soundtrack isn't the greatest
I am an avid Final Fantasy fan. I have started playing these games since Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV in Japan) came out onto the Super Nintendo back in the early 90s. And when Final Fantasy VIII, the latest in a series of outstanding role...

Pros: Visual presentation, stunning soundtrack, compelling story, higher degree of strategy than found in previous FF titles. Cons: Uh, grey text boxes? Selphie's hairdo? And what's up with the max number of items? 100? I want my 99! Old skool forever!
Final Fantasy VIII. The sequel to the RPG to end all RPGs. The sequel to the game that got people to put down Crash Bandicoot and immerse themselves in a world unlike they had ever seen before. For many people, the seventh installment in Square's...

Pros: Amazing graphics, fantastic storyline, unique, new universe concidering Final Fantasy. Cons: Average music track, unique game play style.
When Square made the move from the now defunct Super Nintendo Platform, to the soon-to-be defunct platform of the Sony Playstation, people wondered what on earth Square would do with it...
Sadly, the answer was Final Fantasy VII.

Pros: Magnificent Graphics/GamePlay Cons: Only 40 SomeOdd Hours :)
Squaresoft has done it once again with the 8th installment of the Final Fantasy Series. This game is set upon an incredible landscape in which you travel on by many means of transportation. During your travels you :walk on foot, drive a car, drive a...

Pros: Gorgeous Graphics, Lush Soundtrack Cons: Dull, Dull, Dull!
I guess I should preface this review by pointing out that I am not simply a "bandwagoner" fan of Final Fantasy, one who got on at the ground floor with Final Fantasy VII. I have been playing Final Fantasy games since I can remember, but they...
