yep.... FF VIII is the best for me. it's my first FF series i've play and finished before i played FF I to FF VII and finished all. but FF VIII has a deep impact on my view to FF series.
let me rate it:
music: i think FFVIII has the best music above all the series. i'm sure everyboby will agree with me.
Graphic: yeah cannot compare with the latest FF such as X and X-2 but its the best graphic if its refer to the technology at that time.
storyline: no need to say much.... VERY GOOD
all over: 9 out of 10 star
