    Same here, Slade..

    I think most people think the best FF is the one the played first.
    I personally had never heard of Final Fantasies or Squaresoft before the ads for FFVIII started rolling. That's when I became obsessed. I still am

    FFVIII is one of my favorites too.

    My first one was the original FFI on the NES (which I became addicted to), then I played FF Mystic Quest on the SNES, and then put gaming aside for university. I loved FFI.

    Finally, after about 5 years, I played FFVIII, and became addicted once more. I then played FFVII several months later. Without a doubt, I've always preferred VIII to VII, because of the "whichever-one-I-played-first bias". I really rather the junction system, because there is an option to do an automatic junction, if you're too lazy to swap all your spells around. The materia system doesn't offer automatic equiping, and I sometimes find it annoying having to swap everything around, especially after that beeotch Yuffie steals most of your materia

    It was my favorite... I kept playing and playing it until my little sister chewed the 2nd disc. *sigh*
    The storyline itself is good, but the gameplay and characters are awesome! The Junction system is my favorite.

    eight, usually a bad number -- but not anymore. absolutely the best! Final Fantasy VIII is a whole library of masterpieces :jap: .

    I loved it the first time I played it but I was probably too young to appreaciate it fully. So yeah I may have enjoyed it more second or so times.

    Played it, loved it, played it again, loved it. This game rocks and as always you pick up more on a second run through.

    Well, this game uses real life situations(Love, duh.) Except for the monster stuff, but it can be substituted. It has pretty good graphics for the year. It's characters are well described and have great personalities, all are different and don't act the same..and that's a great point in a game. They gave the characters individualality(sp?), and I loved how you switch parties every now and then. It lets me re adjust and doesn't let me get sick of one party.

    I need to play FFVIII again, but sadly, our first copy of it's first CD can't be found, and the second copy of it doesn't work at the introduction.

    FVII was also great, but I'd prefer 8. My brother thinks 7 is better, but ah well, I don't care for his opinion.

    the first one i played was 7, and i still think 8 is the best. best story, best characters, best magic system, best ending. i've played it through roughly 25 times and it just doesn't get old. cool game.

    I plan on playing it again soon. I've played it through twice I think....can't remember. It's good, though VII is still my fav.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    My brother's favorite is FFVII, too..It's pretty good, and lots of people I know like it. But FFVIII is my favorite. I still have to finish FFX2, I bought it the week it came out a long time ago but my brother in-law wanted to play it, haven't gotten it back since.
