If ff8 didnt surpase ff7 for graphics, they wouldnt let it out, Square has a standard to surpass, As better and newer technology became avilable, and the limits of the ps1 was explored more it would obviously get better graphics wise.

I believe if you use game shark and use the debug room you can do any story part with out changing disc as long as there is no FMV. Xenogears was the same was. ALL of xenogears was on one disc but they had to split it into 2 because of FMV.

I agree with DJZen about the graphics, but I liked the story line for a ps1 game and they had some good summons.
What! You don't like this game!? I know your entitled to your own opinion but still! I agree with you about the character models but this was 1997 (or was it 1996?) this is early Playstation the beginning of the 3D era give it a break! The story is good it takes some time to understand it but you'll understand as long as your not a total idiot you'll find out it's a great story. Yes some of the music was damned annoying but overall it was pretty good! I can't believe you hated Materia I loved the customizing and building up it was cool. Speaking of materia just in case some of you didn't know if you sell a mastered All materia you get 1.2 million gil!! :eek: ! You'll be swimming in cash (unless you blow it all at the Chocobo Racing section of the Gold Saucer).

Gregoriev, you should never write a review until you've beaten the game.
If you play the game two minutes then write a review, you'll never get a good review for the game.
Otherwise, I say welcome back.
You do realize that reviewers never beat 99% of the games they play before they review it. They may get far or not. They might cheat to do it. But they don't really finish playing them for the most part. Too many games and not enough time.Quote:

Based on story alone, not graphics, halo also has a freaken awsome story, but about 99% of the time you are just shooting stuff and hearing people issue commands to you. FF8 really so bad story wise that you could condense it to about 3 pages of typed 12pt text?
I loved this game, it had a great story, great characters and great bosses. I don't understand how people can not like it.. but everyone is entitled to their own opinions I guess. =/
Out of all the things you wrote, Sound/Music is what I kinda agree with you. Troughout all the songs, it always kept like a high-pitch kinda flute and that really annoyed me a lot. Yes, I did put on different music. But when it came to Aeris' Death Scene, you can't argue with that composition taken from FFVI, just an awesome re-make. The World Map song, both the happy and sad, was really good. One Winged Angel of course is just awesome, hands down one of the best. But other than that, yeah, I'd have to agree with the music thing...just didn't hit me like other FF's.Quote:

yeah I think ff8 had terrible music, I seriously think they only had like 5 songs, which they varied to make it sound like more. the song at the seed ball is the chocobo dance song. I really couldn't take the ff8 world map music and I think the ragnarok theme song was really annoying. I think 7 had better music, but not better sound quality.
FFVIII has a lot of good tracks that you seem to be overlooking, the good overrides the not so good tracks pretty easily. (such as the world map one(one of the few not so good tracks)) There are many more than five songs which are not variations of each other.Quote:

edczxcvbnm, I was just pointing out that reviews are alost never good if that does happen and it never should happen.
Hey!! i liked the flute... :( it sorta had that hero feel to it... esp during the battle theme.. sometimes i would time my limit breaks to just in time with the flute too!! made it more meaningful to me :)Quote:
