Story

Tied with FF Tactics as my second favourite Final Fantasy game ever, I adore FF8. The junction system is wonderful, and whilst it may take time to get used to it, the level of customisation you can do with it is outstanding. The music is amazing and Eyes On Me is still my favourite FF track to date. As for the story, I am a sucker for a love story anyway, but relating to Squall so much when I was younger made FF8 just hit differently. Also... it gave us Triple Triad, the single best mini game in a video game ever!!

I feel bad even reviewing this one because I simply cannot get into it despite multiple attempts, but I suppose these ratings just speak to how I feel about this Final Fantasy entry.

Story

Disjointed narrative, flat characters, and a militant fanbase who seems incapable of objectively critiquing their favorite game. (: Squall is a textbook case of avoidant-attachment disorder, and constructed to appeal to every brooding teenage boy in the 90s. The romance part of the story is obnoxiously forced and lacks all believability. The game was a rushed project with many design decisions seemingly made to reduce development time. Identical rooms and hallways make up a lot of dungeons, and one of the optional dungeons is a single room with a massive encounter rate. The junction system is a good idea, but you barely need to use it to accomplish anything. You can overpower enemies with numbers, thus trivializing strategy in the worst way. The whole thing needed more refinement and implementation into the requirements to win. The biggest problem the game has is a lack of dialogue explaining many of the fine details of the story. Nebulous story-telling will always damage the final outcome. Final Fantasy VIII is a monolith of wasted potential.

Final Fantasy VIII

Tolles Final Fantasy Spiel mit guter Story. Das rundenbasierte Kampfsystem und die verschiedene G.F. macht das Spiel etwas komplexer. Die Ich habe das Spiel ca. in 40 Stunden durchgespielt.
