FF8 broke the barriers
This is the game that arguably introduced the Final Fantasy franchise to the non-game playing masses. Most shops would display the cutscenes as a storybook and demo. Guys want to be as cool as Squall. Faye Wong's Eyes on Me is aired on the radio. This is a must have game for the story and the memories.

FF8 Forever!!!
Classic game! If you like RPG, you must try it!

FF8 is the best FF7 Sucks
This game is Awesome!!!! Beats FF7 hands down x9999 Overkill lol.
Its got a great storyline, great graphics for its time, Battle and junction system is easy and great for people who are new to the FF Series.

I recommend this one over FF7 (which is sooooooo boring and like me you would not even get pasts the First CD and get bored of it.

Dream realized
FFVIII was the first RPG game i have ever played, and i played it a looong time ago. Even though i could't speak or read english (I don't live in US), i loved the game and nowdays, thanks to Play Asia, i was able to buy this fantastic game and play once more (and understand the story). Thanks Play-Asia!!!

Average Final Fantasy
After playing FF 7, this was quite a dissapointing game in comparison.. It has its merits. But the GF / Junctioning system is absolutely useless. The story and the villian are not very interesting either. I only played because I'm a Final Fantasy fan. If your not stick to FF 7.
