A solid Final Fantasy game, with a few setbacks.
Don't have too much to say here, but FF8 is a good game. Gameplay: Hm.. This is probably the only bad part of the game for me. I didn't like the Junction system at all. Sure, it was new and interesting, but it was jus... Read Full Review

A slower paced affair, FF8 largest success is it's stunning visuals, and a cast of characters worth caring about.
I loved Final Fantasy 7. It's story was, to me, a damn near perfect balance of visual presentation, complex plot twists, and a series of discoveries and shocking twists that seemed to make the game grow larger at every ... Read Full Review

Not fun at first, but it gets better as soon you get used the junction system.
Graphics: The graphics were great back then, but now it is kinda crappy because I notice that the faces on the character models where all messed up. Sound: Music wasn't really good in this game. Most of the songs don'... Read Full Review

Innovative gameplay and a flashy exterior will draw you in, but an odd and sometimes confusing story will slow you down.
Review based on: 1. Gameplay: controls and game format. 2. Graphics: visual impact on the gamer. 3. Sound: sound effects and musical score. 4. Story: overall impact of narrative. 5. General Appeal: the game's abilit... Read Full Review

I loved this FF but i cant give it a 10 but a 9
