Not quite what you might expect.
So, its 2010. Final Fantasy VIII has been out for a while now. and i just finished it. And I honestly must say, i am unimpressed. We'll start somewhere simple, the story. While it is very well contrived, it is almost com... Read Full Review

Here's what happens when you max out a PS1.
You start off in a futuristic boarding school, this acts as your game tutorial, war base, even temporary means of transportation later on. If I had gone to a school this nice, I may have attended more than once a week...... Read Full Review

What starts off as an okay playable game really shines by the end of Disk 1

With Stunning presentation but flawed game play, I give Final Fantasy VIII 7.5 failed assassination attempts out of 10
Final Fantasy VIII had a lot to live up to after the success of Final Fantasy VII. Though the game is technically superior to the last entry in the series, it has a couple of flaws that will forever leave it in the shado... Read Full Review

After years of it's release, Final Fantasy VIII is still the best in the series. Love it. Have it. Beat it.
Ah, Final Fantasy VII. A game that I have wanted to review since its release in 1999, but that, sadly, I couldn't. Now, with the opportunity, I have nothing else to say but great things about this game. The innovation... Read Full Review

The best final fantasy game made so far.
I wrote a review for this game years ago, giving it a 10/10. After re-reading the review (while I replay the game on vacation) I decided that my review didn't give the game the credit it deserved despite the perfect rati... Read Full Review

The best Final Fantasy game, ever. In fact, it's easily one of the best games I've ever played.
This was the very first Final Fantasy game I ever played. Yes, Final Fantasy VIII was what started my love for the game series. What can I say about this then? This is an epic, heart-wrenching, and beautiful game. This h... Read Full Review

A bright gem often overshadowed by it's predecessor
It's difficult to empathize the importance of Final Fantasy VIII, being it part of a franchise that delivered so many incredible games. To understand it, it's necessary to understand the context when it came out: At the ... Read Full Review

Quite possibly has the greatest battle system of any FF in the series!
I love the Junction system on this game! Which summons and how many equipped on a character effects both parties' overall stat growth! For this reason alone, made me hunt for the TON of hidden summons that were on the ga... Read Full Review
