Pros: Fun and long Cons: not challenging or good-ended or good people, things don't turn out right
Well, I must agree, my opinion has changed throughout my almost a year and a half of playing and liking and hating it, I will come with a not so final rating. However, I will try to stay more stable than in my previous reviews of this game. However,...

Pros: A lot of fun to play! Cons: FF9 was a little bit better.
If you haven’t already read my epinion on Final Fantasy 9, then you wouldn’t know that I used to absolutely hate all RPG’s. (Until I played FF9) The first RPG that I played was Final Fantasy 9. I loved that game so much, that I decided to buy Final...

Pros: Nice story-line with twists, wonderful cinematics Cons: GF summoning takes too long
It seems a lot of people had some problems with the way magic is used in this game. Squaresoft, in an attempt to get away from the standard Magic Point (MP) system of old, uses a method called drawing (where the character draws spells from its opponents...

Pros: Great Graphic Cons: Pretty much everything else
I have been an avid fan of the Final Fantasy saga ever since the American release of the first game in the series on the NES (1990). I had played similar RPGs at that time, like Dragon Warrior, but it was Final Fantasy that really hooked me on the Role...

Pros: Good graphics....but I can't name anything else. Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE.
Oh man,I may not be an obsessed fan of the FF games,but FF7 was excellent.So I had high hopes for this game,but what happened here?
Well,let dear Riza here tell you:
Storyline:Ha Ha,what's this?The story is not even exciting or...

Pros: good graphics??? but hey, Squaresoft released FF9 so who cares! Cons: everything other than the graphics...and the music...maybe.
This is the most disturbing game ever made....more so than Final Fantasy Mystical Quest. And you know what? I don't have to make this opinion some senseless rant either. I'll list every reason why this game should go die. Don't you ever wonder, ...

Pros: Graphics, characters
Cons: Storyline somewhat surpassed by fellow Final Fantasies
Squaresoft, the little company that made it big. Made popular by its amazing Final Fantasy series. And now we are blessed with the 8th game, however some people believe it to be a cure, I ask why? I found this game an amazing combination of human...

Pros: Graphics, music was decent Cons: Game play (draw system should die, and die repeatedly.)
After final fantasy VI and vii, and final fantasy tactics, square was on a hot streak. After beating every part of final fantasy vii, I began to anticipate the arrival of the eighth installment. Little did I know that I would enjoy myself more through...

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: Nice FMV's, good graphics, fun card game Cons: not very good story (as far as I got anyway), junction system porvides nothing but tedious micromanagement, cant identify with and dont care about main character
First off, please dont track me down and kill me for this review...
Anyway, I am a big fan of the Final Fantasy series, having completed or almost completed FF 1, 4,5,6,7,8 (duh...or else i wouldnt be reviewing it), FFT (GREAT game!), and I am...

Pros: everything a fan wants! Cons: some of the changes detract from the depth of the series.
Seeing as this game came out a little over a year ago, any hardcore fans have no doubt taken the two or so months out of their lives for this game already. but if you haven't picked up last years Final Fantasy installment you should definately do so now....

Pros: Great graphics good story line Cons: Need less reading and more talking
Final Fantasy VIII was a really good game but I could not get anywhere without the book. I really liked the story line in this one. IT was a very good and challenging game. I liked it a lot better than Final Fantasy VII. The graphics were much better and...

Pros: Great graphics, some of the added features Cons: Draw system is terrible, GF's are too powerful, most changes were for the worst
Like all other die-hard RPG fans out there, I can't wait to get my hands on a brand-spankin' new version of Final Fantasy. Unfortunately this time, I was a bit too enthusiastic. Actually, the only thing that saved this game from flat out sucking...

by mlcrewe , Dec 31 '00
Pros: Fantastic graphics, nice music, interesting characters. Cons: Plot rather weak, characters not developed enough, battle system somewhat awkward.
The first thing you notice when you pop Final Fantasy VIII into your Playstation (or Playstation 2 if you were lucky enough to find one) is the spectacular quality of the graphics. The FMVs are amazingly detailed, with human-looking characters who...
