I hate final fantasy VIII

[Setzer Gabianni]

It was the first FF game I played so then I can't say anything else but, I love it!
I know the whole story is messy.
I got confused alot of times and had to go back and load old saves to understand the story because no game is fun unless you understand the story!
But ... I found it touching and I do love the music.

GAH! Why do people keep saying that? Just because it's your first doesn't mean is has to be your favorite. Jebus. I like you though. Atleast you're willing to admit the game has flaws. *gives bonus point to Ki Ki*

It's not a question of whether your first Final Fantasy was FFVIII- the game would still be the best in the series regardless, and anyone who doesn't like it is simply in denial that such a monumental achievement came along and destroyed their previous conceptions of what great story, great game play, and great characters are.

Dude, seriously, edit your post. You have the tendecy double post alot. Anyway, I was adressing the fact that people always say that FF8 is their favorite, because it was their first. It isn't the best in the series...that's exactly why I dislike 8 so much now. Because people can't see the flaws in EVERY game. Especially ANY Final Fantasy game. You're the pot calling the kettle black by saying other people are in denial. You can not face the fact that this game is not peferction; no game is. And FF8 wasn't the FF that recieved the most "monumental achievement". That was FF7... we've been down this road already. As for the characters my opinion is still set; I hate them. I liked some of the story and gameplay. Also, it's still a good game. But I'm tired of the over obssesed fans. ~Fin~

I don't mind that you are talking so long as you don't mind that I'm not listening.

No he isn't.

FFVIII is personally one of my favorite games I have ever played. But I don't think it was the best in the series.. anyways, the pros ( in my opinion ) are the battle system, mini-quests, and the music. The cons ( also in my opinion ) is the characters, the areas, and the somewhat depressing story line ( not really the story line just couldn't think of anything else ).

OH YEAH, i love the card game!

Why don't you explain to me how exactly I am "forcing my opinion" on you? I'm not going to lable every statement I make with "This is My Opinion" or "This Is Fact." If you can't realize what's fact and what's not, especially in a thread which is in regards to which FF is the best, then you're on your own.

I'm not going to change my opinions so they can match what your conceptions of what you consider to be "flaws." Final Fantasy VIII WAS the greatest monumental achievement in the history of interactive entertainment, and the only reason others cannot see it is because they were so in love with their second rate FFVII, that they could not possibly accept the idea that a better game came along.

Your concept of perfection is different than my concept of perfection. FFVIII WAS PERFECTION, so deal with it. The characters, game play, and story line were perfection incarnate. Like I stated above, I'm not going to stamp a lable on each statement I make which says "This is My Opinion." If you can't realize what is opinion and what is fact, then I can't help you.

Final Fantasy VIII was a let down in terms of story line. Let the rest be as it is, but Final Fantasy is great because it's like reading a book with moving pictures, not because of what characters look like or battle systems. There's a lot of other good battle systems in other games, but they're not worth playing because the story lacks in places. The entire second half of eight after the defeat of the sorceress doesn't make sense. It's long, boring and anticlimatic. You chase a lot of people who in the end don't matter. All that matters is this ancient sorceress or new one or whatever that had almost nothing to do with the characters. Many other games follow a sensible storyline. VIII doesn't. Besides, the money speaks for itself. Final Fantasy VII is the best selling RPG of all time.

Many other games follow a sensible storyline. VIII doesn't. Besides, the money speaks for itself. Final Fantasy VII is the best selling RPG of all time.

Final Fantasy VIII is reported as being the second best selling Final Fantasy of all-time, selling 8 million copies. FFVII sold close to 10 million copies. So it is not as if Final Fantasy VII sold 50 times as much as Final Fantasy VIII did. Check it out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VIII

Also, sales alone do not determine how good something is. Many films and video games have sold plenty of copies, only to be generally berated later by critics and the public. As far as I am concerned, FFVIII was the greatest FF out there, in game play, characters, and especially storyline.

I don't mind that you are talking so long as you don't mind that I'm not listening.

This is rude and this is a warning.

I'm also closing this thread because you people just don't seem to know how to play nice.
