get ff VIII!!!! if you liked ix, you'll like this more. just do it.
I didn't think so many of you guys would make graphics an issue. You all should be considering everything except that. What makes FF so enjoyable is the truly awesome storylines, characters, and the addicting battles. Their graphics mean nothing, and if you are worried about them so much then you shouldn't be playing FF in the first place.
If you liked 10, then you are REALLY going to love both 7 and 8, since they both make 10 look like a total trash heap (which it is). I would suggest getting both, if you have the time. They are both magnificent in their own ways and you will not regret getting them. If you enjoy those two and want more, then you should also consider getting 6. You can either download it (as FF3 for the SNES), or you can buy Anthology, which has both 5 and 6. 5 isn't that great though.
If your friends say that 8 sucks, then they are total fools and should be punched in the face.
See, my first FF was FF8, and thats why i love FF so much XD
If your still in doubt, check out on GameSpot for Final Fantasy VIII (PSX Version). See the ratings of the ones that played it. Im sure it will make up your mind.
In my opinion, FFVII is the best Final Fantasy (of the 10) and FFVIII is the worst, but that's not to say that FFVIII is a bad game, and that's not to say it's not worth playing, because it is.
I say stop listening to other people's opinions and buy both games (FFVII and FFVIII) because they're both great games. Matter of fact, don't even listen to this opinion. :shifty: I was never here... But in all seriousness if you liked FFIX then you will probably like FFVIII, because it's got a sappy love story in it. And pick up FFVII as well even though the graphics aren't as impressive as IX's the storyline, music, and battle system are top notch.
Your friends are suffering from ADD and can only play mindless action games. They thought FF8 sucked 'cause they played it for an hour and nothing happened. The beginning of 8 is slow, and some might argue it's boring. But it's a story. It's setting up the plot. 7 took the smart way around this and stuffed the player right down into the thick of it to catch their interest, THEN slowed down for a bit and set up the story. Like selling crack, the first sample's free. If you want more action, you have to sit through the plot development. As RPGs are the story-tellers of the gaming world. Novels. Long ones. And FF8 unfolds slowly so be warned. They both warrant a peek though so go ahead and give 'em a look. I would suggest 7 over 8 but that's just me.
People are naturally going to have trouble getting used to graphics when they go from PS2 to PSX. We're not making out that graphics are the most important part of the game, we're making sure that he actually has incentive to play them.Quote:

The differences are pretty massive.
That picture of 8 looks a lot worse than what it looks like on my TV. :/Quote:

Same with mine, but still, FF X's battle looks like VIII's FMV.Quote:
