 Why does everyone say it's bad?, 2002-04-01
I play FFVIII on a laptop with 1024*768 pixels, though I could play on my desktop system I choose not too.I got the game in 2000 when it was recommended, played it for awhile and decided I didn't like it, I got it out a week ago and over the easter weekend progressed to disc three. So the cimimatics could have been better, they would have if I'd play it on the other computer, I don't care. The characters are marvelously developed and I love the way the story goes. And I think I prefer the way the juntioning is in the FFVIII to the other games, it's easier for me. I admit I don't like the random battles, but I do like getting my levels up quickly...

The best RPG ever made for PC, 2001-07-19
This is the best RPG that has ever hit the PC! Final Fantasy 8 has the best story line with outstanding graphics. This is a must have game for PC, even if you are not a RPG lover. This game has the coolest characters that fit in the story line perfectly. If you like magic, weapons, powerful attacks, and realistic CG cinemas. This is a game I highly recommend to any one.

 close but no chedda, 2001-07-17
The game is pretty good but would neva reach the superior ff7. FF7 is by far the best final fantasy, then comes nine, then comes 8, the materia is by far the easiest way to equip the items. But i gatta hand it to ff8 best graphics so far. The story is ok not as good as ff7 which has the best story ever. Ff7 has the best story and character development. Before you get ff8 get ff7 then get ff9 then get ff8, and be sure to check out ff10 which is coming out soon it looks dope.
Completely Crazy!!!!!, 2001-06-20
I really really cant see how anyone cant like this game, it simply rocks!!!Yeah ok so the conversion from the Playstaion to the P.C wassn't perfect and i accept that, but still the game remains almost flawless!!It has all the action, and most other stuff that ne games need to become a legend, and i can say that in my opinion this master piece has only been rivaled by Final Fantasy 7! Buy it now!!!
FF8 does not get enough credit., 2001-06-19
Many fans of the FF series have shunned this game, because of loose plot ends, etc. But it is extremely rare to find an RPG that DOESN'T have loose plot ends. And actually, if it hadn't have been pointed out to me, I wouldn't have even noticed them.
The characters are wonderful, the plot is wondeful, and so is the music and the gameplay controls are easy to get the hang of. The magic/GF system looks a bit intimidating at first, but the in-game tutorials are really helpful for a new player.
If you are looking for an adventure, this is it. If you are looking for an entertaining way to spend some time, this is it. I spent probably 20+ hours just on the Triple Triad mini-game and I have replayed the game countless times. If you get the whole experience of the FF world, you are looking at at LEAST 50+ hours of gaming.
This is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and I highly recommend it, and highly encourage you to look past the hype and criticism and give it your own opinion.
