well this is what i think i dont know what you say
i have played FFVII, FFVIII and FFIX and i have finished them all and i really think that FFVIII has a much better history and ending than the other 2 and yeah maybe ultimecia is not that difficult but...come on my friends told me that Sephirot was great that his sword downed your life a lot and that he was soooo difficult.....i didnt even have any problems with him even that i got dissapointed with him being so weak and FFIX was similar to aother FF i think is FFVI but i dont really know so i stick to what i have said FFVIII ROCKS
