underrated!
I done a forum a while ago saying this was the best final fantasy some people agreed but I think its one of the most underrated games ever! the graphics, story and the game play are very good but I think because 7 was so good people wanted a sequel to it not a totally different story who agrees?
To be quite frank I think this game gets far more praise than it deserves, even if it does receive a fair amount of hate as well. It had quite a few good ideas but they were all implemented in a mind-numbingly awful manner. It’s not a terrible game and it’s not the worst game in the series, but it’s definitely towards the bottom.
Well.... I think 7 was just easier to finish... But I only prefer FFVII because of Tifa. But you're right I think it deserves more credit. I love the storyline, even though Rinoa annoys me.. I love Laguna coz he's cool and Selphie is just darn funky!
When something gets too associated with the word 'underrated' it tends to get the appreciation it deserves from those who finally take some time to acknowledge it and effectively no longer remains underrated. So whilst I don't believe FFVIII is underrated anymore I still believe it is the best game of the series
...Geddit?

I don’t wana turn this into “FF8 is the best game because” everyone has their opinions about the best FF game but to say FF8 is one of the worst is crazy.
Best Final Fantasy game ever, and deffinitely underrated. I've noticed that really smart people who are deep thinkers tend to enjoy FF8. I guess we see something much deeper in it than is apparent on the surface.

Hmm, the game has plenty of fans it seems to me. I rather like it quite a bit. It's a huge departure and very unique system, so it's probably just in the "love it or hate it" category of things.

You could make a case that every FF game other that IV, VI, and VII (maybe X) are underrated, because they don't appear regularly on 'Greatest Games Of All Time' lists....but come on. FFVIII has a fairly rabid fanbase, and its main character is iconic.
From what I have seen FFVIII is remembered as a very good rpg, but not a great one, and I think that is fair.
I think people just like to berate it xD It's definitely a very polarizing game; people who like it can't comprehend why anyone wouldn't and vice versa.
IX = Underrated
VIII never really seemed underrated to me. Squall is probably on of the most recognizable characters from any FF game (Cloud being # 1). So no, I really don't think this game is underrated at all.
It isn't so much a case of FFVIII being a terrible game as it is most other FF games being better.
Sorry, but it's true. I've noticed it.

This thread made me laugh out loud.
FFVIII is far from being underrated. Just compare it to games like FFV or FFT.
Please say you aren't serious! This game is far overrated. Its love story is incredibly forced (along with the rest of the story), there is almost no difference between characters in battle except for their limits, and characters, and the level up system is cheap and abusable. The game gets far too much praise then it deserves.
And this is the largest bull of read all day. The reason you think so deeply is because you want to believe there is depth in this game which is rather devoid of a good storyline.Sorry, but it's true. I've noticed it.
Whew...
Besides *we all know that the most underrated second generation game is FFIX.
*We as in fans not fanboys
Hahaha, you know that's totally true. I know people that simply cannot understand how I can play VIII at all. Although, this thread is pretty much becoming proof of the polarizing factor as well methinks.
