FF VIII....not the Best FF

The greatest RPG ever made is FFVIII maybe you will think that i am crazy but im not, i have played Chrono Trigger, FF7, FF9, FFX, FFX-2 FF6 evrything and non of them liked me like this one, maybe you think that is because FF8 is my favorite game cause was the first i played but nooo is one of the last. And come on guys dont tell me that the history sucks because its extraordinary, FF7 i liked the game but the endign bah didnt like it and neither aeris death, FF9 too easy good game didnt like the characters a lot, FFX and FFX-2 good games, FF6 very very good RPG but not as good as FF8. Favorite characters Squall and Rinoa of course lol :) :) :)

I liked most of the storyline, except the orphanage part. That was just kinda of corny. I didn't like the drawing system for magic as well as the junction system. Their both more work than they're worth

how can drawing magic be hard :mad: :) ? it's much easier than equipping materia just to learn spells :p . i like challenges, but i also like things simple and easy :cool: . in FF8, magic may not have to be learned ;) , but it's a responisibility, as in keeping a good supply :D .

I can't really comprehend how anyone could consider the ragnarok SLOW after traveling by GardenX.x now that was miserable.

Ragnarok is slow compared to the newer games aircraft.

True, but Rubah makes a very valid point: the Ragnarok goes at warp speed compared to the Garden (actually, I think the Highwind from FFVII was faster than the Ragnarok too, but still, anything is better than the Garden).

Actually, what I really didn't like about the Junctioning system was that it made magic useless. To get good stats, you had to junction the best magic, so to use the magic, you lost the stats. Really bad idea there.

cloud and red, i'd expect you guys to like it least. FFVIII was my first FF, therefore no matter what anyone says, it has a place in my books as one heck of a game, and in my oppinion, about || <--- that much better than FFVII.

same goes for me :D . don't get me wrong here :) , but i always thought that although FF8 :cool: isn't the best of the PS series, it's probably one of the most favored :up: , since i don't see very many complaints about it ;) .

Meh. I was rather put off by the Dawson's creek esque characters. Music was alright. Graphics were alright. Junction system made it too easy to create Demi-god characters if you knew how to use the thing. Story was nothing to write home about either. All in all I don't hate it but find it overated.

it is obvious that all the anti-ff8 people have gotten tired of arguing with you guys. Because a couple years ago we would have gotten tons of replies telling in detail why ff8 was a BAD game.

FFVIII is #2 for me....but one of the things I liked about it was the "teenage" approach...younger kids but Square displays them like many teenages you see in the high school/college scene

FF8=my favourtie game (for personal and game reasons)

and it was the first ff i bought with saved up money on the pc (sorry Sepho didn't have a ps back then so couldn't play ff6 "-_-")... but onto the point. i admit, ff8's storyline wasn't a "masterpiece", but define masterpiece right? if something as simple as forgetting your past can be crafted like how ff8 has done it, then it deserves props man!

FF VIII was kinnda cool but story you think wich smurfing story the charcters and there limit breaks where awsome specaily the one of zell and laguna:D an jutining and magic system was kinda difrent from the real FF style i say F VII is the best

i liked the tonberry Gf's abilities such as haggle it made me rich
