JMC's Full Review: Final Fantasy VIII for PlayStation 1
When FF8 came out, I said to myself, "If this does better than FF7, it'll be because it's better." News flash! This game is better than 8 and in some cases, 6! There is an ACTUAL STORYLINE in this game. You're not only saving the world, you're trying to find who you are. Your memory has become distorted so much you don't know what's going on.
Personally, I liked Cid's attitude the most. Barret's was okay until after Cloud had regained his identity. "We didn't come back for you, blah blah blah..." If anyone was the ignorant one in that game, it wasn't Cloud, but Barret.
And I don't know what it is about this game, but it has gotten krem de la krem alike from socalled "True Squaresoft Fans". One guy decided to make a "mock rumor" site about the game after he got a good grade on pics of a white chocobo. Unfortunately he thinks that he's a true SquareSoft fan. All I know is that this man alone has tricked so many people into believing there WAS such a thing as a white chocobo that several boards were bombarded with "proof" and all sorts of other things. Because of my trying to explain to this guy that it's disrespectful to the makers of the game, I'm now getting called a moron, that I need to "get a phucking life." All I's got to say is this: if you plan on insulting me, at least spell right. (Yes, this writing IS the way I talk, so don't get on my case for being a hypocrite, k?)
