One of the best final fantasy ever! |
| tonberry killer from sheboygan ,WI,USA says (30/May/2001): |
If you thought that final fantasy 7 or 9 was good this is even better because
1. anyone can summon in this game (something missing from ff9)
2. you can get ablitys from you gf( kind like in ff9 where you got it from armour)
3. they tottaly elimated armour which I like because you don't have to play around with the amour that has about the same stats
4.they look like normal people all the time (ff7 had it only in there movies and ff9 never had it
5. the game will want you to play it over and over because of all the good story line and the funny things you can do!

OLD BUT GREAT!!! |
| Billy from Liverpool says (28/Apr/2002): |
Ive wrote alot of reviews for stationplay and ive been dying to write one for this game. The Final Fantasy sequels are up to number 10 but this game has: better graphics than 9 more discs than 7 and pretty equal to 10. The junctioning system is superb, all the GF's with cool abilitys, new characters and an oppertunity to be them whilst running around, new weapons and a tale of love, hate and danger. The missions can be intense and the cut scenes make the game squaresofts best yet!! note ive seen both 9 and 10 and i have to admit 8 has all that and a super adventure.

Its the best!!!! Get it!!! |
| Daniel Koh from Califronia, USA says (13/Jul/2001): |
This game's the best. At first I thought this junctioning and three peeps walking at the same time was lame, but its the best!!! If you still havn't played it, PLAY IT. The cinematics are clean and smooth, and even during regular gameplay, the characters are still tight looking. The characters don't look like blocks and circles anymore( which I think is a huge improvement), the music is cool( matches the scene), and the GF'S( summons)looks cool, and the plot it a work of a genius. The idea of a mercenary school is amazing. Also, Rinoa looks fine as hell!!!

One of my favorite games!! |
| Adrienne from Indiana USA says (4/Mar/2002): |
Final Fanasty 8 is one of my favorite games. In fact, Final Fanasty 8 was the reason I feel in love with the series. I love the storyline, even though it was a little hard to understand. I love the characters, Slephie was my favorite. I thought the graphics were great unlike Final Fanasty 7's squarish graghics. The CGs(very much like Final Fanasty 9) was breathtaking. I thought the ending was one of the greatest endings I've ever seen. This game was one of the greatest games ever made. And if you haven't played it yet you're definitly missing out!!

The worst of all the FFs yes including the ones on the NES! |
| The FF8 hater from UK says (6/May/2002): |
the were only 2 things i liked with this game:
Graphics
Battles (just the fights not the junction system)
other than that this game is an insult 2 all ff gamrz out ther. It is sooooooooooo easy as well, until the last boss which is ok but i beat it with only Squall and he didnt even have his most powerful weapon, in fact he had his 4th most pwrful. the junction systm jus sux and the gfs did 2. im not sure if i should but FF10 cuz it woz made by the same ppl as FF9.
A complete waste of time
P.S feel free 2 email me wiv ur own views.

One Hell of a Game! |
| Freakster from minneapolis, USA says (19/Jun/2002): |
This is my favorite game I own, out of all my games(in all). The graphics are the best I've ever seen in any playstation game(In any game for that matter). After I played FF8 for the first time, the songs got stuck in my head. The gameplay was the best, though. It wasn't a game that was just about killing, it had a story behind it, and the roll playing made it even more interesting. Anyone reading this should definitely consider purchasing this game, if you haven't already.
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 8/10
The game itself: 10/10

Greatest Game Ever |
| Squall_Leonhart from USA says (23/Dec/2002): |
Anyone who dislikes this one is a complete moron. It's great! How could anyone dislike a game in which one very excellent bad boy good guy decked in leather and belts, wielding a half gun half sword, battling another hot guy decked in awesome trenchcoat with another big gunblade? So okay, none of the villians are as cool as Kuja, but christ the battle system was cool, and the Guardian Forces gave it a little challenge. I could spend hours rearranging how the magic was junction or creating stuff off the abilities you get to learn.

A great in-depth game event |
| MiKiE from USA says (18/Aug/2000): |
This adds a great realism to the final fantasys installments while it didn't draw me in like 7 did there were many aspects I loved. the money and battle systems were inovative and exciting. maybe not all RPG fans will like this title but every final fantasy fan will. while it has the greatest FMV/CG cutsenes I've seen it didn't fall short to thrall me with it's great gameplay.
I highly reccomend this title to the hardcore rpg gamer and it should hold you down tell final fantasy 9 comes out withch i'm sure will be great as well!

It out did my excpectations!!!!!!!!!! |
| Bryan from Slidell, USA says (21/Sep/2001): |
It ROCKED!!!!!!! It out did FF7 in many ways cause though FF7
had a awsome storyline (FF8 did also) the graphics the battle system and every thing else sucked. But FF8 took those to max. The graphics, the GFs, the battle system, and the in game cinemas all kicked butt, the only thing that sucked was the magic i like the mp type magic (the type where the spells dont have a limited number) better that having a quanity that u can lose cause i FF7 if u had a spell u kept the entire game.
But other than that it rocked!!!!!!!!!! *_*

Final Fantasy the best game ever? |
| Nicolas from Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, says (1/Oct/2001): |
Final Fantasy, the name that carrys wings like never before, after the 7th game in the serie, the game name will be known by anyone. I think that Final Fantasy VIII is one of the best game ever, The FMW scenes are fantastic, the history is also good, but i think the 7th history was better i dont know why but i think it was better. One simple mistake in all the FF games are that much of the music is a little the same in every FF games, so it is a little - but all the other things are fantastic COME ON SQUARESOFT GIVE US A FF9

Its ok .... not that bad |
| Irvine Kinneas from Nowhere says (30/Nov/2002): |
I'll say its a good game. First time I played it, its very confusing. Its not the best I've heard. Yes , I think you should get outta there and get FF7. The game is easier to understand. While FF8 is kinda different.GF's instead of summon ,the draw thingy . Its very easy to miss things, first time i played it, i missed the useless Siren. The characters are not bad, i think they should have more futuristic weapons(like the gunblade). I 'll say get other FF first before giving full marks for this odd RPG. Ps . I luv u Rinoa ...

$hit!!!! FF8 is the best game i have ever played! |
| Rinoa Liezl from manila, philippines says (3/Aug/2002): |
I just love FF8!!! Its like so cool. im sixteen and i fell in love with squall! coz he looks so real unlike cloud or zidane who looks lyk a freakin monkey!! Tidus is also cute. the draw system took me forever to understand but i loved every bit of it. the game is so hard and long but its worth it. just to see squall calling out my name is the best thing in the world. Rinoa is so cool! I luv this game Contact me all you Squall look alikes, but u have to be 16-20 yrs old. Im a rinoa look alike and i act like her to!!

| bevan sofian from tasmania says (16/Nov/2002): |

The Best Adventure!! |
| Anonomous from Fort Washington, PA, USA says (29/Mar/2002): |
Love and battle is what makes an awesome game and this one takes the cake. It has both and it has you willing for an outstanding ending. I've not finished this one yet but I think I'm all most through. If you liked this game you'll absoulutly love Final Fantasy X. It's not exactly the same but it's almost the same story line only even better! I wish it was on PS1 and PS2 even though I have both. If you love adventure and love stories (and like reading) you should try out this game! I give it 10 stars!!!

The Best Story Line I Have Ever Played Through |
| Squall Leonhart from Hamburg, PA, USA says (2/Sep/2003): |
I absolutely love this game! I havn't played FF IX or X yet, but I don't know how they'll sum up to this one. The graphics are excellent, and the music makes you not want to put it down. This game is fun, especially pulling off some of the limit breaks. The Guardian Forces rock, as they enhance your character into an ultimate fighting machine. The only thing I didn't like was the whole SeeD Rank and Money Issue. Other than that this is an awesome game that you will play for hours on end.

BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED |
| rob from Christchuch, Doset, England says (16/Nov/2003): |
this is one of the best games i've ever played its got amazing graphics for a PS1 game and the story line is definatly the best out of ff7-X but can some one give me some tips on beating omega weapon cause i'm having loads of trouble with him, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. my favorite bit is watchin giglamesh but the crap out of seifer on disk three but on the end clip I think we should see more about what happeens with the characters future but apart from that definatly the BEST GAME EVER.

The Best RPG I've ever played!!!! |
| Blue Fire Sprite from Lansing, MI says (3/Nov/2002): |
Piss off if you think this game sucks. I don't giva $#< remove me > at ! if you thinks it's point A-B-C garbage. It was really great! I didn't even mind playing it again after my little bro erased the mem card (die scum...). It was awsome, tho Rinoa should have gotten over Seifer quicker because that was so boring and I mean you want to move them together and they just come up with som smart-ass remark you hlaf saw coming. I mean they really should say what you want them too... Grrrrrrr.........

Wow, what a good game |
| A gamer from usa says (6/May/2003): |
I love this game! The Story-Line is the greatest of any game I have ever seen. I love the junctioning system because it rewards you greatly for knowing how to do. To those of you who are dogging the game due to the dependency on GF's, you are wrong. All you need to do is junction them to use their ability junctions (ie Str-J). I haven't used a GF in battle since Shiva against Ifrit. It's really not that hard. And another little tip, Item Refinement is the way to go!

Da Best GAME!!!! |
| Johndoe from Laguna Niguel, CA, USA says (22/Jan/2003): |
This game was wut hooked me on final fantasy. OK... i admit, FF8 was different than most final fantasys. Its confusing, i only understood the junction system my 3rd time playing. sho wat? wasnt ff10? i mean, controlling aeons, isnt that different? sho y doesnt any1 care about that? Final Fantasy wouldnt be Final Fantasy without diversion. personally, i didnt like ff9 as much, and who in the world is neckron???? Also, i want to add one more thing... I hate MP!!!

Brilliantly Done |
| Kevin S. from Indiana says (8/Jul/2001): |
Easily the best in the series, Final Fantasy 8 breaks away from the others with a new 'junctioning' system, an in my opinion, makes battling alot easier than before. And the lively and vibrant characters will absolutely make you fall in the love with them, and the only time you'll be let down, is when it ends. The only game in the world that could top this game, would have to be a true sequel. :) Definently worth picking up if you have the spare change.
