i beat them both (ffviii first) and i loved both of them. for some reason i like ffviii more because im a romanticist (not just in a relation sense), but i would not argue if people said ffvii is better.
No, sorry, FFVIII does not rule. Thanks for playing.
I like VIII's gameplay, but aside from that I think it was one of the worst Final Fantasys ever. The two main characters (Squall and Rinoa) were terrible and annoying (well, Squall wasnt at first, then he became obsessed with Rinoa and became intolerable), and all the other characters were shoved into the background and didnt get much character development. The game made it clear that only Rinoa and Squall mattered, and the others were just there as catalysts.
I felt the romance was forced and just annoying... drawing magic blewn... Triple Triad was fun, the fmvs were pretty...
All that having been said, I think VI is far better. Heck, anything is far better.
This game affected me the most emotionally out of any game in the series, actually... The most out of any game, period. There are lots of reasons for this, things in my real life going on around the time I played it, etc. For all of these reasons this game remains my favorite in the series, it's the only game I was physically compelled to cry during (twice to be exact). But just like the crew said, if you don't like Rinoa the game will suck to you. Many people hate this game because they didn't love the characters or couldn't relate I guess. I could completely because Squall was everything I wanted to be at the time, and the whole game just "worked" for me. I can understand how people hate this game, but personally I agree with the initial statement, Final Fantasy VIII definately does rock. You may not like it, but that doesn't make it a bad game.
FF8 sure rocks!
Yeah FF8 really rocks is the most brilliant ff game!

rinoa annoyd me she moved on pretty quicky when she thought seifer was dead

Okay.
Just kidding. I don't like this game as much as FFT, FFVII, or FFX, but it's certainly better than FFIX (my opinion).
:shoot:
She just has a thing for a guy with a gunblade, if she saw Brad Pitt with a gunblade in Deling city she would have dumped Squall in a second.
Yeah I thought that was pretty cruel. By the time you reach your next destination, not only is she completly over Seifer, but she's ALL OVER Squall.
Yes, it does so. :chop:

Guys what do you expect?To cry her whole life for Seifer?And don't forget that it was love at first sight with Squall.
"People Always Lie" - House MD.
Expecting someone to show a bit of respect for the dead does not mean we think she should cry forever. She seemed so upset when it happened, yet by the time you reach Galbadia (probably a few hours in their world), she's over it. She may not have still been Seifer's girlfriend, but she could have at least shown respect by not throwing herself all over Squall. Even the rest of the party, most of whom didnt even like him gave a crap still. Even Zell, who couldnt stand Seifer, cared more than Rinoa did.
And how was it love at first sight? She danced with him, then ran off (instead of, as one does when they meet their 'true love' -not that I believe in the love at first sight bull- lingering with him when she had the rest of the night to find Cid). When they meet again in Timber, she really doesnt seem to give one whit that it's him. If it was love at first sight, she would have cared more, acknowledged him more. The reasons Rinoa went after Squall seemed to be the same as the reasons Aerith went after Cloud (initial reasons again), because they reminded them of dead lovers.
Rinoa was really crass after Seifer's death, but that fits in with her selfish attitude throughout the game. The only reason she was fighting for the freedom of Timber was just to irk her dad, remember? She did a lot of selfish, bullheaded things throughout the game, not to mention needing to be rescured four times. Sheesh, and people call Rosa a damsel in distress. At least you only have to save her butt once.
