I agree that it was very similar to Final Fantasy 7 but I thought the graphics were better and the storyline was good, what I loved about it though was the music.

FFVIII was my FAVORITE of the Final Fantasies.  It wasn't as "accessible" to the general gamership as, say, VII or IX, which means it doesn't get as much noteriety, but to the hardcore RPG'er it was tons deeper than VII in terms of maturity and content.  FFVII = casual gamers; FFVIII = mature, hardcore RPG'ers.

Actually it's often quite the opposite entirely-- few people like it the most, rather than many. Personally I think it's the greatest FF hands down, but there's no accounting for taste.

Correction, Final Fantasy 10 is the worst ever FF.  Linear, and boring gameplay and good graphics don't make up for the decent storyline.

I seriously just plain disslike the FF series maily because of the game play, that turn taking bull sh!t is rawr!  I'm glad they decided to not be so g@y and start making real game play for their games.

VIII was my favorite. Well Tactics as well. But if nothing else 8 had the greatest opening video.

Why does everyone like this game?? The junction system is horrible. I think people only liked it because it had graphics that made the characters look older. But essentially the storyline and gameplay weren't any better than 6, if not worse. In fact, I like the deformed characters better than the realistic ones. There was nothing in FF8 that pushed the series forward. It was just another save the world and fall in love with the girl storyline. You can get that in 9, yet no one respects 9 at all. Two400
hmmm... yeah so? and 9 was pretty enjoyable to... well i did start playing ff games at # 7 and i do remember watching my couz play the older ones like 2 and 4 but that was when dinosaurs ruled the earth and now i have been plagued by the more contemporary ff game styles and the oldies bore me... anyways 7,8,9,10 were pretty similar but they were all good.

woah... i have to double post just for this (and b/c i missed this) have you even played a ff game? looking at your icons and sig and avatar (pictures) you seem like a straight up action guy who needs to be blasting someone and has no patiance for rpgs. try different genres dude, ordering the same burger is boring... try the chile or salads here and there.

1) Please use some semblance of grammar in your posting, it makes things much easier for the rest of us. 2) I have played and finished FFVII AND played FFVIII. 3) They arn't very similar at all.

:evil:OK, first of all you must not be true gamer. Because any true gamer, OR Final Fantasy PRO  would not say that FF8 is the worst game ever. But, obviously you did not get the junctioning, or ma-bey the card game? You must just be stupid. I mean face it, you couldn't even use the spell checker on this site. So, do us TRUE gamers a favor, and keep your stupidity to yourself. Thank You.

Even though FF8 is the FF I like the least... I still found it a great game.. I know some people (including me) find that the junction system sux or probably the overall gameplay is.. just like that.. But really I don't think that "worst ever FF" is the best way to describe it... comments like that just sounds kinda lame for a gamer..

Now did you say this because you want to piss fans of the game off, or do you just want attention? 'Cause you know, if you want to share an oppinion you can always write a review...

Wow so many people do not like FFVIII but its my Favorite FF game of all times and Yes I did not start with FFVII but with FFIV for the SNES at the age of Five (1995) and boom I was Hooked the only game I was not able to get was FFIII now I'm 16 almost 17 and Still Think FFVIII is the greatest game of the series that I have played so far I loved the Junction system. But many people hated it don't know why but everyone likes something different one thing that did Bug me about FVIII was the way you Leveled up it was way to easy because as soon as you got 1000 exp you leveled but that was the only problem I had with it I know how people also say that the whole point of Drawing magic is stupid but like I said everyone likes something different Personal the one that  I did not like as much (I'm not going to say Worst because all FF Fans know that any FF game is great If its not true Prove me wrong) would have to be FFXI (and only because it dose not compare with The other FF games this is an MMO remmeber that)

Aww were you sad that the summons weren't uber pwnzor powerful like they have been in previous FF's?

FFXII has a couple of flaws, but it is an amazing game.

Aihhh the age old questions..

I'd say FF8 was great.. They are trying to make something new with every 3D final fantasies, with FF9 using the old school system of job thing.. 8 uses junction system, 7 uses materia system and 10 uses the sphere grid system. Due to my country's lack of online games, I can't play FF11, and 12 is the most flexible system i've played thus far..

So i'd say that every final fantasy has it's pros and cons. Then how can u compare this and that? I'm sorry if my opinion makes u mad or something, it's just that I've been playing Final Fantasies and I've beaten each of the game that i've played at least twice, and I still say that each FF has it's own nostalgic moment, it's own pros and cons.

There is no such thing as FF(insertnumber) is better than FF(insert number).

Absolutely. And to make things worse those childish characters (Yuna and Tidus) really got to my nerves. Try remembering the forced laughing Yuna and Tidus scene. The dumbest thing I have seen in a game.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy VIII. I am replaying all my old Final Fantasy games starting with VIII actually (obviously in no specific order).

Fanboy much? FF VIII's storeyline was pretty satisfying but the experience/levelling system was heavily flawed and encouraged players to avoid fights until later in the game until they had access to GF's with stat boosting abilities. This resulated in the gameplay being pretty unfatisfying in my opinion, an the only thing that got me through that game was the story and the graphics. I really like FFVIII but it's a flawed game, and chances are most of the people saying that FFVIII is the best, are doing so for purely aesthetic reasons.

 Every FF has its own innovations and flaws. If you see people playing the low-level guide of FF XII you'll see you don't have to fight anybody if you don't want to (except bosses)...

 I found FFVIII to be one of the best: Finally a game where you don't get to kill a dinossaur full o' money (yeah, they don't have pockets...), the draw system was very interesting (no more killing yourself over ether, hi-ether, etc..) and the summons were so beautiful FF IX didn't surpass them in my opinion...

 Maybe people felt the need for armors, gears and different weapons... I enjoyed FFVIII so much I'm playing it for the third time. Some people here have said if you're really a FF PRO you shouldn't like playing FFVIII...

 I say if you're a FF PRO or not, you shouldn't miss ANY FF game, since NES, because all of them are worth your time... to dismiss any FF is simply ridiculous... no matter if it's your least favorite, most hated, etc...

I would have to say that X-2 was my LEAST favorite FF. They took Yuna, a selfless, valiant summoner willing to sacrifice herself for the good of the world and then they turned her into some mutated combination of Christina Aguilera and Lara Croft. Plus, the game was too short. (side note: Job system = AWESOME) I never played 11. I'm just not into the whole MMORPG scene. I'm also not interested in paying a monthly fee for a game I already paid $70 for. After that, I would say that 8 is definitely the worst by quite a bit. Most of the characters were forgettable, the junction system was WAY to cumbersome, drawing magic was completely boring, and the summon spells took way too long and it made every single battle a test of patience. On the other hand, 9 is far and away, hands down, my favorite game on any system ever. The game was just brilliant

 I agree with you about the gameplay, it had major flaws. FFVIII is good but so overrated sometimes, as you, the only thing that got me through FFVIII was story and graphics

FFX is the worst 

I remember the forced laughter part of the game (the guy above mentioned it) ...I was like WTF>>!!?!?!?!?

The story is lame the summon dependence was lame ..the characters were lame (auron only cool one) 

The game was to linear .....HELL I even liked FF9 more than X at least 9 dident feel as empty....
