Good Points
Good storyline and interesting characters, and monsters.
Bad Points
Chessy graphics, except when it's a movie, then it looks real, other than that it's bad.
General Comments
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.

As far as FF VIII goes do you feel it was a poor sequel to VII? VIII concentrated too much on providing a "realistic feel" to the characters, instead of using the cartoon feel, like in VII and then IX - which were both, I feel any ways loads better than VIII – perhaps they realised this and reverted back to that look for IX.

<br>Interesting story all the same but it just didn’t have the same addictiveness.
<br>
<br>VIII did introduce the cards though, hats off a dead addictive little side game in itself!
<br>
<br>Did you mange to get all the cards?

<br/>In all fairness to the Final Fantasy VIII PlayStation game's graphics, at the time of writing this review they were already 5 years behind the times. In 1999, when this game was released the graphics produced in this game were breathtaking. There is no game released prior to this game that can match its graphic sequences (at least not to my knowledge).
