Final Fantasy Vlll best FF game ever.

[turtle1237]

Once you played Vlll, you don't need to play any other FF game. You played the best of the best of the best. We don't need to level up to be strong, we need our drawing magic and junction system from our GFs.

It had the best hero in Squall Leonhart and his amazing Dad Laguna. We get 2 love stories with Squall and Rinoa, and Laguna and Raine . It has the best cowboy in Irvine, The best guy on coffee in Zell, and the best girl and my personal favorite in Selphie, she does do crazy from time to time so watch out.
No other FF tops this, and that includes 7, and its remake. I am so upset that 7 gets there remake, and 8 does not. What are they thinking? 8 was the better game.

I personally disliked it, but more power to you champ for liking it.

Yeah, same here.

VIII is better than VII, anyway. At least it contains an ending.

Final Fantasy is such a weird thing. Rather than most series, where each game learns from the mistakes of previous games in the series, each one getting better and better and all that... Final Fantasy's mandate has always been to completely through everything out that worked in the past and start completely from scratch, each game. Very strange.

Anyway, battle system was pretty dodgy in VIII but a strong story with a trippy time-travel/paradox ending.

The ending was a loop, the teams beats Ultimecia who while dying passes her powers onto Edea in the pass to once again do the events of FF8 doing a time loop kinda of ending.
FF8 rock. I love 13 also, and 9. but 8 was always my favorite.

FF8 was the first Final Fantasy to be worse than its predecessor. It's still a good 8/10 game.

Dragon Quest has like three games coming, man.

VIII only squeaked by on PS2 because it was in production mid-merger. Everything since has either been handheld or Japan only. They have intentionally suffocated the brand. "Final Fantasy" is their main line for "main" RPGs... anything else is either experimental or to throwaway markets.

For shame.
