Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: SquareSoft has always had a sure-fire hit when releasing any of their Final Fantasy titles, and Final Fantasy VIII should be no exception. The basis of a good RPG (role-playing game) has always been the story; spectacular graphics are secondary. Final Fantasy VIII's, involved and interesting storyline is filled with great twists, well-developed characters, suspense and romance. As an added bonus, the graphics are beautiful. Everything--from the low-lit jazz club to the steam-filled railroad tunnels--is gorgeous and perfectly sets the mood and tone of a scene. The game mechanics are standard fare for an RPG: acquisition of items and spells, turn-based combat, experience points earned in combat allowing advances in levels. From exploration to battles to dialogue, Final Fantasy VIII has it all. However, Final Fantasy VIII falls to that great weakness of RPGs: random battles. While necessary for advancing in levels, the battles occur with such frequency that they can grow annoying, making for a tedious game experience. The epic storyline spans four discs--over 40 hours of gameplay--and is based around a mercenary cadet who finds himself caught up with an underground rebel faction. He winds up in a plot to assassinate the sorceress who has just seized power from the president. You could complain of limited replay value, but this gripe is of no consequence; the game is such a satisfying experience, it doesn't require replay. Final Fantasy VIII is easily worth both the hype and the wait. You can't buy a much better game. --John Cocking Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - The best FF game ever!I played this game when it was released...a good years ago. However, in my opinion is still is one o the best RPG I've ever played. Rating: - This game is the greatest achievement of the series!When i first saw ff8 all those years ago i thought little of it. It was just another game my bro played. But then i played it and couldnt get enough! I mean the fact this game is nearly impossible to get 100% on is one of the main reasons i kept playing! The story is excellent, characters are brilliant and the overall objective is something to be desired. I dont care what others think but 4 me ff8 is the one game no other can replace. Rating: - One of the best everFinal Fantasy 8 happens to be the greatest love story in any rpg, on top of that the game is massive. With it's epic storyline and plaenty of side quests I easily racked up 120+ on this one. Very few can compare to this. Rating: - FF7's more complex younger brother. (That doesn't make it better)This game would probably come second to best FF next to FF7. Although the junction system can seem very complicated, that doesn't mean it is. It's actually very simple: you use magic to enhance your stats and resistence.......that's it! The summonings (also known as GF's, Eidolons, Espers, Aeons etc...)have been made more complicated by making it so that you can use them to learn new commands like turning monsters into cards. However as a party you can become very dependant on these monsteres because it is so much easier just to watch them take off heaps of damage reagrdless of what you do instead of attempting to get a weapon upgrade. And watching the cutscene of them killing monsters over and over again can get tiring very quickly. ...

This One and FF9 are the best in the series.My favourite charecter is Selphie because i think she is underrated and is one of the most useful charecters. This is the best FF so buy it! |
