The first time I played this game, I enjoyed it but liked FF7 more. After thinking it through over the years, and after replaying all the games and then finally FF7 another time, I realized that FF7 really wasn't as great as I initially thought it was.

FF8 HAS gotten better, and better, and better. There was a time when I hated it. I thought the characters were bland, the drawing system boring. I just don't agree with that anymore.

FF8 is the most exciting FF I ahve ever played, hands down. NOTHING from another FF can match the feel I get while I completed the various missions throughout the game, including the one with the train cars, Lunatic Pandora, assassinating Edea, and other things. The side story with Laguna was a really great as well... his relations with Raine and Julia, and their adventues, all connecting to Squall's relationship and Ellone too.

Another 'exciting' aspect of the game is attaining summons. A lot of the summons have fun side quests to get them.. rather it be Brothers, King Tomberry, Bahamut, etc. Gaining a new summon is a big deal, because you gain access to a plethora of new abilities to learn and stuff to junction.

Recently what sparked this game some new life, was the low level challenge, using 'card' to card enemies you fight so you don't gain experience but gain AP for your summons, then maxing out your stats with bonuses late in the game.

Every Final Fantasy I've found has a certain 'atmosphere' to it, and FF8 arguably has one of my favorites.

I think they should've given Ellone a bigger role.... And Seifer too, of course

My first game and I have played it ...... hmm... many times
I don't usually play games just once, because when I play them again over and over I learn always something new about the story or something else.
Nice to see how many actually likes the FF8, like me. Many people who I know says FF8 is the worst... and I keep argueing with them

It isn't just you. And yes it does seem to get better everytime. And it was already brilliant to start with.

So nope, you are not alone. *huggles*

*urge to replay once more rising*
