Final Fantasy VIII (PS) ... takes the series to the next level. Final Fantasy VIII combines an epic storyline with dynamic role-playing elements, breathtaking music, and well-defined characters. The world of Final Fantasy VIII comes to life in a dazzling display of digital artistry that spans four CDs. With the addition of an hour worth of CG animation, a new "Junction" system, and compatibility with the Dual Shock Analog Controller, Final Fantasy VIII is a breathtaking addition to the series.

 ... Selphie is one of your core group, starting out at Balamb garden along with Squall and Zell, she's a bit of a joker. -Zell- Zell is another member of the original trio and is a martial artist by trade and a bit of a hothead at times. Of course the game has a number of other characters including the villains of the piece which include but are not limited to members of the Garden military forces. *Gameplay differences* The game makes some stark differences to older Final Fantasy games. The first is visual,and...more

Crowned Review A challenging and rewarding adventure... (1469 words)

Think of a fairy tale that will never come true, and then think of this game. They are virtually the same. Final Fantasy VIII is the tale of a love story... a love story that, infact, can only happen on your television screen or in a book. A beautiful, sensitive, gorgeous lady doesn't fall in love with an egotistic, self-centered jerk, it just doesn't happen. Well, I guess now you can tell that I'm not too enthused about this game. However, despite from what I've just mentioned, the story is one of the best parts. It may be unrealistic, but it is quite the adventure. The CG cinemas are awe-inspiring, the characters are interesting to listen to, and the music is superb ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Final Fantasy VIII (PS): There's nothing Final about this game -- Final Fantasy V ... (1910 words)

Final Fantasy VIII, sequel to the amazingly successful Final Fantasy VII, is the second of the monster RPG series to hit the Playstation. The title is a bit misleading though, the latest game is number 9 and number 10 is being made to be released on the PS2. As with its predecessors the game is completely separate from its past - you have a new world to explore and a whole new cast to control. You get to play with a varying compilation of characters, the main ones being: Squall – Cloud’s replacement, he’s the main guy. He is you and you are him. Squall is quiet and spends a lot of time thinking rather than speaking. His weapon is a ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Finally, the Final Fantasy 8 finale!! (1399 words)

Rating:

Well, here I am again, reviewing yet another Final Fantasy title! This is the eighth instalment of one of the most famous and spectacular sagas. The last Final Fantasy was number 7, and was also on the Playstation (for those of don’t know). Final Fantasy 7 is regarded by most, to be the greatest game of all time, even now. As for myself, I can’t really decide. I think that it should be one of the greatest games of all time, as there are several others, i.e. Metal Gear Solid, Zelda 64: Ocarina of time etc… But back to Final Fantasy 8. After Final Fantasy 7, people were wondering what Squaresoft would decide to do next. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Final Fantasy VIII (PS): Final Fantasy 8 - an honest (if controversial!) review (806 words)
by - written on 28/11/00 (Very useful, 167 readings)
Rating:

So, Final Fantasy 8 - the latest big game in a huge series spanning over a decade, so this is going the be the greatest thing to hit the Playstation ever, right? Wrong. FF8 carries on the traditions of the previous games, but opts for a more 'Western' graphics style. This means that instead of little cute guys with huge heads, this time you're controlling some believable characters who actually look like real people. The quest itself is fairly bog-standard RPG fare - your group of misfits are thrown together by a common enemy, in this case an evil sorceress from the future who wants to destroy everything. Gameplay is typical Final ...  Read the complete review

 

Products similar to Final Fantasy VIII (PS)

Great story and characters, replay value, takes a long time to finish, good strategy elements Combat could have been a bit deeper, loading times a little annoying

Unlikely to squeeze better visuals out of the PS, Storming combat system Convoluted. Very convoluted.

Two games for £20, Back to the roots of FF, Eternal lifespan None

Alright graphics, tune-up feature, great FMV sequences, audio well done Short, poor interactivity, no real puzzles

BEST RPG, BEST STORYLINE, BEST GAME Random battles still about
