    Good Points: Is there a limit? Not a really big fan of play cards on it but it turns into items so it's ok.

    It's the only game I can play over and over and never get old.


    Bad Points: This is some good and bad points together.

    I don't like how you have to collect magic where as in every other game you learn it then keep it - in this you can loose it. But on the other hand you can junction it towards strength and other attributes which comes in helpful since leveling up doesn't do much.


    General comments: My personal preference is Final Fantasy VIII over VII for a couple of reasons:
    1. I scratched the 3rd disk on 7 so I never really got to finish the game within a reasonable time.

    2. I'm just a bigger fan of 8 as I had it first and played it more often.

    Final Fantasy VIII is an excellent PlayStation game. It is definitely worth the money, and is an all round great game.

    All in all there's only one word to describe Final Fantasy VIII: a Masterpiece. Many people will say that it's not so but let's review what a masterpiece is , shall we? It's something that most people enjoy(humm that's one point for FF8), it's original and nothing ressembles it(well everything is this game is unique, the plot, the gameplay even the characters...). It's or was a blockbuster on the market(well at i-don't-know-how-many-millions-of-copies sold you can't argue..)So there you have it, ...

    Final Fantasy VIII - I loved this game. I beat it like 20 times, but I haven't played it in a while. The storyline is just breathtaking, a lot of action, and adventure. Great storyline, all the characters are cool, cool and interesting monsters, good weapons, great levels and places to go. Good Gf's. Go and get this game and for the next few days that's all you'll be playing until you beat it.

    The Final Fantasy VIII game has a few gameplay flaws, maily the junction system, however despite the 10 hours of your life taken up by that, this game is well worth a play. It will engrose you (you may have to get over the begining) and leave you wanting more. This game requires alkot of time and effort but I guarantee it is worth it.

    It only took me 50 hrs of my life to beat both weapons,get all the GF's, and beat the game.And I don't know very many people that could say the same.I hope that Squaresoft comes out with a sequal to FFVIII,but the possibilities of thst happening are very slim, because I know many people that said that 8 sucked,but they just don't know what their talking about.(losers)

    It's the best game I have ever played far out strips the other r.p.gs in the shops but it is too hard to get upgraded weapons.
    The movie clips are amazing like nothing I have ever seen before.

    After playing Final Fantasy 7, I thought none of of the other games in this series could live up to it. I was wrong, real wrong. Final Fantasy 8 takes the best of the old and mixes it with the best of the new. Squaresoft definately increased the quality of the graphics as well as the music. With awesome gameplay, great graphics, touching story line, and a powerful musical score, this gameshold be loved by RPG fans everywhere. It's a real treat!

    Final Fantasy VIII from Squaresoft (for the Sony Playstaion 2) is REALLY long, so if you're not up for it, than don't play. O ya, hard to get GFs too, especially the one where you have to fight in a magical lamp, what is it?, o ya, DIABLOS
