Completed FFVIII

[MustangCobraSVT]

I completed FFVIII finally and found it to be a really enjoyable game. I don't understand were all the bad feelings for this game come from. The only thing that I didnt really care for was how it was so easy to level in the game. I like the GF abilities alot and found that to be a really interesting part of the game. Story was entertaining but lacked some charecter background but overall very good and should be played by all. I also liked the weapons but wished there were more of them. I was wondering what other people thought about it, likes dislikes etc.

Also at one point in the game Selphie admits to owning a GF in her childhood but never remembers the name? What do you guys think that gf was?

It is an amazing game! And the people who say it sucks are just haters.

I do admit though, it would have made the game better if there was some more character background on the rest of the characters. Also the game would have been better if there were more weapons, and more limits. But yeah I still love that game, my favorite FF. ^_^

And uhh I think that line of Selphie saying that she didn't remember the gf's named was just a filler. But I'd imagine it would have to be a pretty weak gf.

Though I like a lot of other FFs more than this one for various reasons, I still really like this one too. I actually like how easy it is to gain levels and the fact that enemies level up with you - you can't just powerlevel your way through, but on the other hand you don't have to spend so much time leveling up. The junction system was pretty interesting too, though drawing magic was somewhat tedious. I also liked the refine abilities, Auto-Haste, Heroes and Holy Wars, the Lionheart limit break, and especially Enc-None

As for non-gameplay stuff, I really liked Squall and his relationship with Rinoa, and even the supporting characters, despite their lack of background.

I think that GF was called "Deus Ex Machina".

Even though I like the game, I have to admit that the whole "GF makes us forget stuff" was a pretty big plot device.

It is really really easy to find old games on Amazon.com some of them new. That is where i got mine. Great website.

There is in game evidence that would suggest, not prove just strongly suggest, that the GF Selphie junctioned as a child was Tonberry. And I'm not talking suggest like R=U, I'm talking more like Laguna = Squall's father.

This is by far my favorite FF. I like this game and everything about it.

Try best buy, or a used magazines/book store. (everytime I've gone to best buy, I've seen FFVIII, FFVII, FFIX, and FFV anthology... right next to each other :P.)

Oh and what evidence is there that makes it seem like Tonberry was Selphie's first gf? Please share. :P

eBay is probably the best site to buy these old games. But amazon seems alright.

FF8 is my favorite Final Fantasy. I occasionaly switch between FF7 and FF8 but FF8 is my favorite at the moment.

For some reason I think Selphie's first GF was Tonberry too. In Trabia Garden, that sick man in the bunk bed goes on about casting Tonberry or something and Selphie was in Trabia Garden for a while, so...it may be a hint. But I do doubt my opinions.

There is?

This game is absolutely amazing, i know there are other final fantasies but to me this game stands out on its own as the best game and my first ff. I mean the story was amazing for once the character wasnt a whiny little n00b or some quiet macho man made out of 7 friggin pixels( cloud) but actually had a reason and some sort of back story for his attitude. And the junction system was by far the most flexible system, sure it was a little tedious but still it was so customizable and so was the tons of gf abilities and refine and the extremely addictive triple triad. Not to mention the great music and stunning visuals.

Elaborate.
