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: Adictive, Good Story, Hours and Hours and Hours of fun, Good Music Cons: hard to get the hang of junctioning andstuff if you have never done it before.
This game was the first and best game I ever played on my Playstation. I have yet to complete it. There are 4 discs, and after about 3 months, i am on the 3rd disc. Long, but fun!
Extracted Prologue from the Player's Manual:

Pros: Love Story Storyline
Character Development = Relationship Development
Graphics
FMV Scenes Cons: Love Story Storyline
Character Development = Relationship Development
I have found that among the gaming community and RPG fans FF8 has either been greatly accepted or completely rejected.
Generally one thing that most fans or critics of FF8 will agree is that the graphics where a large step forward from FF7...

Pros: the graphics, uh, the characters were OK, the fact that Squaresoft made it Cons: Squall, Squall, Squall, plot is thrown everywhere, a little easy
WARNING: THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN A FEW SPOILERS HERE AND THERE, BUT NOTHING THAT WILL RUIN THE GAME, SO I DON’T KNOW WHY I AM WRITING THIS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT’S A SHAMELESS EFFORT TO TRY AND MAKE MY EPINION LOOK LONGER THAT IT IS, EVEN...

Pros: The long hours of play are fun and exciting Cons: hmm i didnt really like that seifer guy.
Or all The Junctioning.
I had nevered played any final fantasy games or rpg games. To tell the truth i began to play the game out of boredom. But as I came to find the game was fun. The awesome CG's and fmv's(full mode videos). At first It is all so simple a few battles here...

Pros: Everything. Cons: Nothing.
Final Fantasy viii is Squaresoft's 8th Final Fantasy installment. This game came out about a year and a half after Final Fantasy vii did.
STORYLINE
You play as Squall is a soldier who joined SeeD, a sort of special unit...

Pros: has the noteworthy tittle "final fantasy", good graphics, good music Cons: bad fighting strategy, needs hard to find pocketstation, no challenge
I have one word to say for my opening statement, "Sucks". This game sucks more than I expected as a final fantasy game. I have personally played and hope to beat every single one of any video game with the words final fantasy as the title made by...

Pros: Incredible graphics, realistic atmosphere, excellent music Cons: "Eyes on Me" will drive you crazy
Never before has the world seen an RPG like Final Fantasy 8. Unlike the blocky characters of Final Fantasy 7, the graphics and characters almost look real. The cutscenes make you feel like you're watching it as a movie and they're enough to blow you...

Pros: Great graphics, nice soundtrack and sweet FMVs to boot, Gotta love the Love Story Cons: Where's the fantasy? Futuristic setting? Almost Non-Existent Villian, More Development for Irvine!!!

Thank You

Pros: incredible cinematic presentation, excellent soundtrack, deep, entrancing gameplay Cons: battling consists of nothing more than repeated GF summons
Squaresoft's FF8 does it's best to harness the energy, emotion and entertainment value(s) of the previous 7 games in the series only to fail miserably. Put simply, this is NOT a real Final Fantasy game, at least not according to rabid FF fans....

Pros: Grahpics are awesome... Cons: Everything else sucks.
If one is willing to commit enough time and effort, I will admit that getting to watch the end of FFVIII is worth the effort of going through one of the worst RPGs I've ever played (and one of the few as well). The only thing is, you have to play...

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: Graphics... music Cons: ... the rest of the game.
FF7 was considered ground-breaking... it brought the whole RPG gaming community to a halt as they stared in wonder at it. When they heard there was going to be another FF game they were happy... heck I was happy.
But let me compare some of...

Pros: The best game ever!! Cons: The best game ever!!
This game is the best but the only problem is that I wish that Final Fantasy 7,8, and 9 would all continue from each other but hey can't get everything you want. The game is still good and better graphics than Final Fantasy 7 so that's good. They have...

Pros: Great Graphics, Best Uematsu Soundtrack ever, Incredibly innovative Cons: It's different, so nobody seems to want to give it a chance
I really can't figure out why everybody loves to bash FFVIII. The graphics are awesome, the main character is very well-developed, and the battle and ability system is very innovative and multi-faceted. I'm not really going to sit here and tell you...
