6About FINAL FANTASY VIII
It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the 'lone wolf', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while Seifer lacks the discipline of his rival. However, a chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly turns Squall's universe upside down; having thrived on discipline, Squall find the carefree Rinoa fascinating. He also begins to dream that he is Laguna Loire, a Galbadian army soldier… Meanwhile, a sorceress manipulates the most powerful men in Galbadia. Will Squall and his party succeed in defeating this maniacal sorceress and saving their world? What part does the mysterious Laguna play? Only you can decide what happens next, as the greatest Role Playing Adventure of all time returns...Key Features:.

I don't care what everyone says, the draw system is great!
I don't care what everyone says, the draw system is great!... Not manual drawing, but card converting, it is so much easier and makes the game much more enjoyable since instead of spending hours drawing, you spend that time playing a really decent card minigame. The game is only difficult if you choose not to understand junctioning, it's a very simple system where you junction magic straight to your character stats, an example would be junctioning 100 pain spells to your character's elemental attack makes 90% of your hits deal blind, silence and poison damage combined. Junctioning 100 Hastes to your character's speed attribute gives them a 210% faster boost in combat, etc... I beat the game in under 60 hours (that includes deep sea facility, ultimecias castle, Omega weapon boss and all ultimate weapon ugrades 100%) on my first playthrough. If you give the game a chance to explain itself and listen to it, you will find a wonderful Final Fantasy experience. Sure the story might fall flat in disc 2 to 3 but the character evolution from an introvert, obnoxious and self centered mercenary to a broader thinker, developing genuine emotions for the people around him and conquers evil with the power of trust with his companions is told in such a realistic sense. Playing this game after playing Final Fantasy IV, V, VII and X, VIII feels very fresh and I would recommend any Final Fantasy player who has not tried it, to give it a shot.

Hello, my old friend
Hello, my old friend. Years ago, I remember walking into a local Wal-Mart to browse through the bargain bin of Psx games. There I found a green label greatest hits game called Final Fantasy VII. The blonde man on the cover holding a giant sword tore away at my curiosity. So my allowance was spent on this mysterious game I had yet to hear about. Not very long after beating it, I realized I was in love. "Where has this game been all my life?" I asked myself. A few weeks later, after saving up my allowances for a NEW psx title, I returned to the same local Wal-Mart and began browsing the sliding door glass case. "Hmm...Gran Turismo sure looks fun...Tomb Raider....maybe...", but there at the bottom in the left hand corner it sat. Final Fantasy VIII. I must've screeched from excitement. Though none of these characters on the case looked familiar..."So the games don't connect then?" I pondered...In a rush to get the game, I flagged the worker down to open the case. Game in hand, I opened the lid of my Psx, removed Dark Stone, and placed in Disc 1...Never has a game brought as much excitement as seeing this sequel that day. It was the best, is the best, and will forever be the best. Now I am no longer a child, at 25 I have 2 children of my own and hope one day they too find their "FFVIII"...
