Final Fantasy 8 for Windows

Pros: good graphics, long time to beat
Cons: GF junctioning can be confusing, GF animation is long.

I got FF8 as a birthday present for my 18th birthday. I went install it on my PC has soon has I got home; here is what I thought of it.

Story:
You are Squall Leonard student at Balamb garden; a military school for trading seed. Only the...

Pros: Great cutscenes, Eyes on me ( one great song)
Cons: music skips, linear gameplay, pixelated graphics, feels rushed to PC

Before I begin, I would like to say that I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series. These were my favorite games on the Snes. Ah, those were the days!

Well, anyway let's get to the game at hand. This game is a straight port of the hit...

Pros: Graphics, fun
Cons: Complexity and control

Let me start off by saying that this review is not going to tell you about the game's features or story line. That is not the point of this review. There are a huge number of other reviews about this game that have more than covered these areas,...

Pros: The card game was mildly amusing. Cool cutscenes.
Cons: Bad graphics, translation, gameplay, music, etc....

I really, really, wanted to love this game. I'm a huge fan of squaresoft and their unique ability to tell engaging stories. I was a huge fan of their early games like Chrono Trigger, but then I got into computer gaming and didn't play them as much. I...

Pros: Final Fantasy VIII's story is the best
Cons: unknown

The core of any Final Fantasy game has always been its story,
and Final Fantasy VIII's story is the best the series - and likely the
genre - has ever seen. With Final Fantasy VII, Square showed
...

Pros: best game ever
Cons: don't miss out

Oh boy, Am I still alive? I'm still living today and got a chance to play this best game that's every made by anybody? No, I'm not dreaming, this actually came true!! Look everyone, SquareSoft did it again, after their finest game final Fantasy 7, not...

Pros: beautiful animations and good story line
Cons: bad porting from playstation to PC

I got into playing Final Fantasy rather unintentionally after I got hold of a TV, playstation and FF7 my friend had lent to me. One day I was bored so I started playing FF7 without any intention of playing longer than to rid of my boredom. But to my...

Pros: Good graphics and music, great movies, long.
Cons: Long sometimes to the point of being monotonous. Slow.

The whole reason I (and my friends) bought this game is because it's Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy has never let us down before. But this one kinda stumps me. For one thing, it takes forty-plus hours to beat, and it gets old after only about 12....

Pros: Great translation, superior graphics, amazing sound, you can actually play the Pocketstation game
Cons: Poor control compared to the Dual shock joystick

If you haven’t heard of Final Fantasy 8 you must have been living under a rock. Final Fantasy 8 is made by the RPG masters, Squaresoft and is being translated to the computer by Eidos entertainment. FF8 is the story of Squall Leonheart, a quiet young...

Pros: Epic story, great combat graphics, character system
Cons: Save points, graphic glitches, poor map

PC gamers tend to pride ourselves with our top-of-the-line graphics cards, peripherals, and technology. Every once in awhile, however, a game comes along that tempts PC owners to hop the proverbial fence and buy a console. After all, BLEEM is a...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: too big

One year Before I began to play FF8, I had seen the movies and the pictures of this game. At that time I thought this game must be perfect and be the crest of RPG in a period. But when I played this game, I changed this thought.

Yes, this is a...

Pros: Graphics are Beautiful!
Cons: Comparison with other Final Fantasies

Phantom Menace Syndrome is what I call a graphical masterpiece used to cover-up a faulty story line or gameplay. I believe FF8, like FF7, suffers in part from this RPG debilitating disorder.
Be Warned! Though this game is still quite well...

Pros: A reasonably good game, Ok plot, Exellent FMV's
Cons: Need a high end machine to run it properly( the recommended system requirements are rubbish, computer takes off junctioned items at key points, in game graphics doent reflect quality of rest of game

I was so exited about getting this game after I finished FF7 in September (I got it on budget release) Well I was rather dissapointed at first because I had a large number of problems which resulted in a large expense.
Firstly the game wouldn't...

Pros: pretty much everything
Cons: overshadowed by FF7 and XG

After playing this game, all I can say is: wow. This game far exceeded all aspects of a good RPG. However, after beating this game I
compared this to other greats, such as Final Fantasy 7 and Xenogerars. All three games were amazing, so I have...

Pros: great graphics
Cons: bad battle setup, bad storyline

I have played almost every single final fantasy game that was ever produced in the us or in japan, save final fantasy 9, which just came out for playstation. I chose this game because it was, of course, a final fantasy game. All the others had amazed me...
