On a scale of one to ten what would you give this game? I think I'll give it a 6.5 because the story just wasn't very interesting IMHO.
Final Fantasy VIII-Rate the Game!

I thought the story was really interesting 8) 11~
7/10.
Good enough game, but loses marks for plot holes larger than Canada. And Rinoa.

7.5/10 Interesting and exciting story for majority of the game, but battles became repetitve and sometimes i find the levelling system annoying:rolleyes2
If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
8/10 because i said so and its cool
Sexy/10 for Quistis.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I give it a 7.5 because finding items for remodeling weapons was a bit tough the majority of my characters only had their weapons upgraded one time, the game has an interesting story although it's lacking with depth in the characters, but I say it manages better than XII, but there's also Disc 4 where you can't go back into any of the towns which prevents you from completing all the game's sidequests and the game doesn't give you any kind of hint that it won't let you go back: as soon as disc 4 starts, you're in battle.

7/10 sounds about right.
I really couldn't have put it better myself, although I'd argue that a seven is fairly generous.Originally Posted by Tallulah

Good game, entertaining scenes. However, focused largely on only Squall and Rinoa, and ignored all other characters. Lame cover up with the whole "Orphanage" crap, but excellent top notch soundtrack. Nice rivalry between Squall and Seifer, his relationship with Laguna could of been elaborated on to with higher scales, and dealt with better. But hey, that's VIII for you...an unfinished piece of work.
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
8/10
I really like this game, but i think it could have been better if the game was not centered on Squall that much.
7/10
It had triple triad!!!
This is also a very important redeeming quality.

It had some good use of the FMVs early on which I loved (Quistis' intro and the transition from your walking to FMV level) was brilliant I thought. I liked the idea of the junction and magic and GF system, but it was poorly implemented I thought. The story was meh I thought. It was decent early on but once Edea appears it just goes down the crapper. I disliked the characters too, Zell, Selphie, Irvine, and Quistis kind of just were there 'cause, they had very little depth I felt and the game focused on the Squall-Rinoa love story more then it should. I give it props for the use of Garden, making a unique vehicle and the car and train system was nice, but I never made use of it unless I was bored. Over all it didn't feel too FF'ish and seemed more like an attempt to just push a sci-fi RPG.
Though I also hold very high expectations of FF's in general, so that's my main reason for a low score. >.>
This space intentionally left blank.
7, but that doesn't stop me thinking it's awesome. I'm just fully aware of its shortcomings and acknowledge them. Shortcomings like boring Laguna sequences (some of them are alright, some are dull as hell) and how broken the game is once you get magic refine abilities and all the stat Junctions.
