[asukaevaunit02]

i finished playin the game a week ago, and i think it is great! i dont know why ppl say it was soo crap or anythin like that the junctioning system was great and really useful, the story was a little bit on the down side but still was ok, and the characters were great especially Selphie so funny and cute! lol many great memories, i think its slightly better that ff9, but after playin ff8 i wanted to play ff9 again 4 some reason? anyways this game rules my fave ff to date

[ThroneofDravaris]

You managed to say all of that in one sentence…

I agree with you on most of your points though. FFVIII certainly gets more crap than it deserves.

EDIT:Wait, I missed the exclamation marks. My bad.

[Xzirox]

3 sentences actually.

And yes, FF8 gets alot of crap for nothing :[

[Jiro]

i like 8 but never had the patience to finish after my brother ruined my 3 best files before disk 4.

[Primus Inter Pares]

Well, VIII was certainly a lot better than VII.

[Shaun]

Not sure if I can agree with you there, PiP, but it was still fantastic.

[Kamrusepas]

FFVIII is my fave too

[Remix]

yea FFVIII would probably be my second fav. My fav right now is FFIX.

[Cubster]

Yeah, its my favorite too though I have competition when it comes to FFVI and VII which are also my favorites. FFVIII I considered to be one of the most daring and experimental of the series and I looked at it that Square wanted to create another Final Fantasy but not to put all the same things from previous games in it. It was more fresh and they wanted to know players reaction to these things instead of boring us with the same thing over and over. When FFXII comes out, it may take the same experimental form that FFVIII gave us (especially the different battle system).

FFVIII has excellent graphics, a good ending, decent story, and great music. I would love to see a remake or sequal (movie?) for it though it may be difficult.

[Winter Nights]

Well, VIII was certainly a lot better than VII.

Agreed. FFVII was decent, but FFVIII was what got me hooked on Final Fantasy.

[Ultima_Weapon]

Agreed. FFVII was decent, but FFVIII was what got me hooked on Final Fantasy.

Agreed final fantasy 8 is probably the best RPG out there and I don't think there ever be any game better or anything like it....

did you know, EIGHT rhymes with GREAT, ?

[Zeromus_X]

yeah, i always wonder why there isnt all this sequel stuff for ffVIII, youd think thered be. (just look at all the stuff for ffvii!)

but yes, i think ffViii, and ffii, get far too much smack talked about them. (especially by people that havent beaten them.)

my friend absolutely hates it, but he probably doesnt have the mental capacity to understand the junction system (or how awesome it is!)

go VIII!

[nik0tine]

I believe FF8 came out before along came polly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

[ThroneofDravaris]

yeah, i always wonder why there isnt all this sequel stuff for ffVIII, youd think thered be.

FFVIII was only the 3rd most popular FF game, behind FFX and FFVII. So in other words FFVIII SHOULD be next in line for a few spin off titles, but it won't get them, because people are idiots and would rather get ports of old FF games for the rest of their lives...

yeah 8 rymes with great 7 rymes with heaven
I hated eight because what is the point of leveling up if the monsters do it with you?
I have no ambition to pwn
So I just...got to level 20 at the end of disk 4

You're not supposed to level up in FFVIII, that's what junctioning is for. It's a good thing that you got to the end of Disk 4 at level 20.

the story is hardly amazing as well...I mean it's very cliche
Pansy man meets outgoing girl she changes him
Hello "Along came polly" anyone?

Yeah...except it FFVIII came out several years before "Along Came Polly". Not only that, there is a BIG difference between how Polly changes Reuben and how Rinoa changes Squall...

EDIT: Damn you Nik0tine!
