FF8 is my favorite game...

"I hate this forum. Everytime I reply... it logs me out. Except, ...wait for it...


this time.


Seriously, I wrote a whole freakin; essay on why ff8 is the greatest, and before I remembered to copy the text, I hit reply, and guess what? "YOU AREN'T BLOODY LOGGED IN MATE! GOOD FREAKIN' LUCK NEXT TIME THOUGH!!!!1!!one!!!!!!"

Is this a reocuring problem I should know about, or does the internet just hate me?"

That most certainly puts a dampener on my day when that occurs with me, though it's happened only twice. To be frank, more often than not, it's not much to get angry about, but I do certainly understand how frustrating it must be.

However, I'd say your praise for the game goes beyond any typed essay because you actually got angry that you couldn't list all your reasons, and that in and of itself would seem to convey a great love for the game. Video games are usually sources for entertainment, but when emotions get mixed in, that's when you KNOW you've found a game that you'll always keep close to you.

Take care all.

All too true. I may essay it up again sometime in the near future... but man... it sure did take a long time...


But yes, the game does have a certain emotional pull on me... It's one that took a while to develop, I might add...

And if you think FF8 is the best, try playing every other one. Like V. V is better than VIII, hands down. X is the only one worse. -King Bahamut

I have all but ff11 (which costs around $130) and ff8 is the best!

No offense, but I cannot believe anyone could have FFX-2 as their favorite game. FF8 was my favorite, and I am glad someone made a thread about it.

I absolutley love FF8..the best ever!

Hey, people are entitled to their own opinions. I personally can see how someone would FFX-2 as their best. And yes, with all the "I hate FF8" threads, it's nice to see one to the opposite. I love this game as well.

Eight was the best game i ever played! The series went downhill from there onward....oh well!

For the record- eight rocks! WOO!

FF8 has it's strengths, that lie in it's uniqueness. Having bought this game about a year after it's release, it was different from FF7, and not a bad game. I liked the way you could obtain different weapons, and the card game and how it tied in with the gameplay. Everything has a purpose, it seems. Unlike, say, FF9, which has a bunch of unnecessary extras put it to amuse long-time FF players.

Have you played FFII?

to all the ff8 haters, seriously, i dont rate ff8 that high (i think its 6th or sumthin overall) but open your eyes to the utter horror that is ff2. u may slate ff8 for characterts which is fair enough, i do it to except for squall, but ff2 is the only other ff in which the characters were supposed to have personalities but didnt. and ff8 is shakespeare compared to ff2.


sorry if i sound condescending but i really think the ff hating should go to ff2. i,m gonna open an ff2 slating forum now.

[Trumpet Thief]

Off Topic: Sorry 'bout that SeedRankLou, but I seriously hated that game. IMO FFX would have been better without a sequel.

Anyways, FFVIII, FFVII, and FFVI are my favorite FInal Fantasies. FFVIII's junction system was very reqarding if you undrestood it, and it made it mandatory to use GF's and Magic, thus making it a good game. Also, I loved the characters. I felt close to them, and understood how they felt. Just my opinion though.

is there some sort of bias where the first ff you play is automatically your favorite? it seems to be that way, more often than not. FF8 was my first one, and it's the best game I've ever played in my entire life. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I want to see more Squall-like characters in the FF serires. Don't get me wrong, I love Tidus to death, but I want to see more unhappy, brooding characters. The characters are what really made this game for me. The first time I played the game, I rushed through the battles WAY too quickly just so I could se what the hell was gonna happen next. Surprisingly, not one of the characters in it bothered me. I thought that Selphie would, but no. Squall and Irvine are my absolute favorites.......I think I'll shut up now.
