FF8! What's Wrong With It?

[aeris2001x2]

"And finally, FFVIII has nothing on either FFVII or FFIX...or any other Final Fantasy come to think of it."

then u have not played ffII or ffX-2. ffII is the most annoying game ever made, while ffX-2, despite being fun, is absoltuly crap in almost every rational way.

If you're talking about FFIIj (Origins) I have played and finished it.
And it was so much more fun to play through.

Are you sure that he hasn't played those games and just doesn't feel the same way as you do about them, thus actually thinking that FFVIII is absolute crap, as you feel toward FFX-2? There are a lot of people that feel differently about those two games than you do, just as there are a lot of people who feel differently about FFVIII than you do. Let everyone have their opinion, just as I let you have your opinion about FFX-2 without slapping you everytime you bash FFX-2 in like every other post you write.

The villain has no apparant motives at all.

Ultimecia wished to compress time, thus bringing all sorceresses into one point in time. Thus all the pieces of Hyne would be present, and by killing all the sorceresses they would have no one to give their powers to except for her. Thus she would absorb all the pieces of Hyne and become all powerful. It's not stated in the game, but you can more or less deduct it.

I, personally, think its a great game. The only thing I didnt like about it was that I thought that the main characters werent "fantasy-ish" enough. But, Besides that, the game is excelent. Not my fave in the series, but very, very good.

hey man i was only joking. i,m not conceited enough 2 believe someones opinion is wrong. i just like to defend ffVIII when it gets bashed.

i should really put something in my sig, saying everything i write is an opinion.

p.s- i dont bash ffX-2 all the time...i bash ffII. at least ffX-2 was fun enough personally, 4 me 2 master

Oh don't mind me ranting, I was having a rather bad day yesterday. And if you wish to imply humor or sarcasm without saying those actual words, try smilies. Here, have a cookie

[SadisticStreetSoldie]

I thought that this game was pretty easy and good and the whole Balamb Garden thing put me at ease because it had a 'safe and sound' atmosphere to it (I'm easily scared and FF7 scared the poop out of me :shame but sometimes it got boring and repetitive. And plus I really hated:
The desert prison part
The sewers
Having to save Rinoa in space
Having to be with Rinoa in the spaceship
The lack of character development especially when it came to Ultimacia
Ultimacia's castle
Having to waste nearly 8 hours looking for Ultima Weapon all around the world
And the too-mellowed out music

[UltimateSpamGrover]

the stuff that I hated about FFVIII

1. No MP consumption system
2. GF has HP
3. No weapon shop or armor shop
4. you had to "make" your own weapons
5. only 3 people in a party!?
6. if you run away from a battle, you have to go into menus.
7. too much camera angles
Just my 2K.

ohhh, ffVIII, i flame u so...but i do love u. ffVIII=Genius .

personally i found this one to be one of the strongest musically...

[Chris]

It did have a wonderful soundtrack
Some of my favorite songs are "Fisherman's Horizon",
"Julia's Piano" and "Fragments of Memories".
Even though I didn't like the game that much,
one can't deny the fact that its soundtrack is amazing.

>>> With FF8 I never felt like playing a Final Fantasy game.
The only high points were the music and the FMVs..

[DJZen]

When I played FFVIII I felt like I was playing a FF game with WAAAAAAAY too much eye candy. Actually, thinking back on it, I thought the gameplay was VERY FF.

[Gunblade_Master]

hi i'm new.

anyways, i think that ffviii is the best ff game ever! please don't flame me! yes, i think it's the best. nothing is wrong with it. i wish they would make a sequel game for it...

[Ultima Shadow]

1. No MP consumption system- Yea, that's bad.
2. GF has HP- Hey, that's great!
3. No weapon shop or armor shop- There IS weapon shops... oh, well... Junctioning shops atleast.
4. you had to "make" your own weapons- I liked that idea.
5. only 3 people in a party!?- Hey, that's not just FFVIII!!!
6. if you run away from a battle, you have to go into menus.- Not only FFVIII.
7. too much camera angles- I don't think so.

I'm only dissapointed with the non MP system. Your magics should just grow stronger as you collected more of them.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

5. only 3 people in a party!?- Hey, that's not just FFVIII!!!

Well, FFVII made up for that flaw, and FFX made it too easy with the "switching people in battle" thing, and FFX-2 just plain sucked.

6. if you run away from a battle, you have to go into menus.- Not only FFVIII.

I think FFX had it too...

7. too many camera angles- I don't think so.

FFIX also had that problem, especially when a battle starts.
