Pros: Classic Final Fantasy, as usual. The feeling of Final Fantasy is there in full force. Cons: A slight bit of nerfing occurs, making it easier for newcomers, but takes depth from veterans.
I wasn't sure what to expect went I started playing Final Fantasy VIII. Having played Final Fantasy VII, the bar was high. But this is Final Fantasy, it always meets and exceeds expectations, doesn't it?
After adapting to the new systems in...

Pros: Fun to play Cons: not so good storyline
I bought this game about 3 months ago, and I still haven't beaten it. I got the best guardian force Eden, but still have yet to go to the end boss area. I just sorta gave up on it, near the end. You really have to work up your characters levels and...

Pros: Great Story & Fantastic Graphics Cons: Repetitive Summoning Animation
The greatest role-playing series ever has spawned another sequel. Being a fan of RPG games, and of the Final Fantasy franchise in particular, I have followed the series since its inception on the 8-bit NES back in 1989. Now in its eighth incarnation, I...

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, sounds, music, the deep intricate story, and the innovative Junction System. Cons: The Junction System may take awhile to get used to, and there's still only three to a party.
Now this one was a definite step up from its predecessor, and it really shines for it's stunning beauty on its own. At first, I had doubts since 'Final Fantasy VII' wasn't up to my expectations at all. But all that changed with this monster.

Pros: good graphics, and some fun gameplay Cons: not enough interactivity

Pros: story, graphics Cons: nothing new
Final Fantasy VIII will not forever change your life. It will not give you a reason to breathe, nor will it alter your views on religion, divine intervention, and the general order of the universe. All it will do, I’m afraid, is offer a little...

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: Story, Graphics, FMV's, Music, and Characters are all EXCELLENT!!! Cons: The battles system....way too complicated.
I started playing Final Fantasy at its seventh sequel. So you may say I don't know much about Final Fantasy all in all. What I do know is that this game has one of the most intricate and interesting stories. I like the twists they build up and how...

Pros: Awesome cinema sequences; Big game; And awesome graphics. . . Cons: . . . Can't redeem this game's mind-numbing boredom
The huge amount of positive press about this game all but forced me to buy it, as I anticipated what should have been a very good RPG. After all, it's Final Fantasy, how could Squaresoft go wrong?
Well, to answer that question, they managed to...

Pros: Very Challenging, Great Graphics, excellent gameplay Cons: Poorly developed plot
Final Fantasy. The name is imbedded on the minds of all RPG gamers. Thinking of it causes flashbacks of monsters, heroes, villains, challenges and all around fun. Final Fantasy 8 may not have met the high expectations that were held for it,...

Pros: musical score and CGI Cons: everything else!!!!!!!!
Now that FF8 has become one of PSX's "Greatest Hits" along with FF7, I think it's a good time to say my piece. Well, I'll be honest and say that I did not purchase nor played FF8 until the price drop to 20 bucks.
I am a GREAT fan of...

Pros: Amazing graphics, FMV is outstanding, good story Cons: Too similar to FFVII, story not as good as it could have been, the Junction System is more annoying then its worth
I remember when Final Fantasy VII first came out all the way back in September of 1997. The fact that it was so remarkably different than Final Fantasy VI in graphics and nature, I was drawn in immediately. The game just breathed with new life. It was...
