In my opinion it is the best, it is also very easy to level up your characters.

I really like FFVIII - it's my favourite from the series. The storyline is good and keeps you hooked, the characters are good (admittadly some are a little under-developed, but hell this is a game after all - you don't need to know every little detail about your characters).

So, yeah i really like. Tis truly awesome - and I don't say that about most things!

I thought Final Fantasy VIII was a decent game, I liked the gameplay, the romance, and the characters were great. The only problem to me was the game seemed to bore me at times, but I guess that happens to some RPG games sometimes. Last thing I didn't like was the draw points for magic spells and a character was limited on how many spells he or she could use.

For the person who voted "no" .. *cracks knuckles*

FF8 is a good game, it just depends on the maturity level of the player and what they understand. It also leans closer towards Sci-Fi/Fantasy.It doesn't do the whole steamwork-medieval thing that everyone's used to in the older Final Fantasies.

FFVIII is AWESOMES! It is my favourite FF of all time. =3 I really enjoyed the story line, game play and (most) of the characters. Like Ann said, it does lean towards Sci-Fi with the whole TC thing and can be a little complicated if you are too young.

And yes. *cracks knuckles and gets taser for person who voted no*

When I first played FF8 I hated it. That was due to not reading anything. Played it again months after that and enjoyed it. Then came FF9 and I fell in love with that game. Then maybe a year later I picked up FF8 again and played it through. I honestly didn't like it as much as I did for 7, 9, 4, and Tactics. But, maybe 5 months ago I was talking to a friend of mine about all the FF games and he reminded me what was good about FF8. Now FF8 is my top 3.

You're asking if a game is good on a forum based around the series...yes it's extremely good. Personally it's my favorite, not that I've beaten all of them but I do hold a special place for this one particularly
