  • haha.. i love this game. definitely my second favourite after VII, but i can't argue with any of his complaints.

    Why did they think we'd want to watch the same summon animations hundreds of times?

  • watching this video i noticed your bad at final fantasy 8 period lmao, your not even suppose to use your gfs in battles... there for junctions and shields

  • ff8 was by far the best final fantasy game, best story line best, battle system, the magic junction was amazing, only scrubs dont like this game

  • I love this review, even though I love the game, and I love even more the people like me that can appreciate a different opinion, when it's well defended.

  • @rachenar and hillarious.

  • I loved this game, but I still think this is the best game review of all time.

  • I watched the entire walkthrough and I do admit that spoony's complaints were fact, but it seemed that he nitpicked the entire game, the characters, and the gameplay style, but still it is a great rant and review it is just that it was more with hating the story than the gameplay

  • this made me hate most modern jrpg's thank you ( no sarcasm i cant stand the whole emo teenager thing)

  • Comment removed

  • This is easily the best FF of all time. The last of the great summons attacks, limit breaks and the junction system makes for a very customisable game. FF hasn't written a better story then 8's, with complex introverted heros and chameleon like villains

  • FFVIII is an incredible game, one of the ones that can compete to be the best FF. The Junction system makes for a very very deep battle engine, absolutely gigantic. The story is full of surprises and plot twists that really are awesome. The world is extremely well-done, every place you come surprise you in a good way, by being so creative. Tetsuya Nomura's character design are modern and cool and fit well to the characters. The characters, while not being the center of story, are good too.

  • the posts by idiots from the ff8 fanbase just highlight how shitt this game is for makin such a Shit generation of fankiddies

  • @Zellig I enjoyed ff8,but that is because it is so damm corny.

    This game is so corny,that i literally laugh my ass off at the ridiculous love story.

  • Shut up!! Gunblades are soooo cool!!

  • final fantasy x is my favorite final fantasy from it's creators still today. only final fantasy game that has really gotten me excited like x is final fantasy versus xiii. don't even know when it's coming out but all ways looking for it to be so EXCITED for it.

  • "Does a sword hurt more when you load it with bullets?"

    yes, yes it does. ive never played this game but from the first 2 minutes of this review you have not succeeded in explaining anything with any reason whatsoever and when i heard that line........youre a bitch.

  • Funny the longer animation is meant to be a better trait of the latter summons as it gives you more time to boost them.

  • LOL at the angry FF8 fanboys in the comments. Great job Spoony.

  • Comment removed

  • lol I love this game and I love this review, ease up guys no need to get all angry

  • ff8 is a great game but this guy is funny. "The fucking Gunblade" = Lol

  • and are you sure you aint gay ? you sure do like to talk about it

  • this game is a master peice shutup man your so annoying if you hate the game why reveiw it suck dick

  • @fatewillbe Because he wants to voice his opinion.

    Because it's entertaining.

    Because he can.

    Oh, and we makes fun of people who whine at him like you're doing so stop before he embarrasses you

  • @fatewillbe dear god you're stupid

  • @Lostprophetzzz your a dickhead

  • @fatewillbe YOU'RE

    and also:

    what do you expect?

    you don't know what a review is.

    you can't spell

    you don't know grammar.

    and you're best idea of an insult is implying that someone is gay...

    you are a fucking retard...

    that's all there is to say about it

  • Only thing I can disagree with when it comes to Spoony is that he thinks it all started going wrong at FFVIII. It began going wrong at FFVII in my opinion.

  • DONT MAKE FUN OF THE GAYS WE ARE AS STURDY AS YUOU BASTARD

  • FROGGY STYLE!

  • Teacher I need to stay late for a "CRAM" session

    Giggity

  • This game is underrated

  • idk if its my speakers but the music so loud i cant even hear your voice

  • "I'll harm .. yewww.." rofl!

    a very opinionated review but a great one, and you're funny :D

    auto sub

  • @lololxDlololxD Most of this reviews parts are on his webdite

  • Final Fantasy VIII is permeated with a consummate professionalism that could only arise from the developers' deft and artful gameplay choices. The story is a self-contained masterpiece that speaks to us all in so many ways. It's an epic (in the true sense of the word) meditation on love, war, education, romance, conflict, dinosaurs and so much more.It's truly fantastic. I love bones. VI and VII look like shit and smell of it. THEY ARE FUCKING AWFUL. Fuck Aeris. I'm glad that fucking cu

  • @Twentyfour24Blog God love Final Fantasy VIII fans and their enthusiasm for that broken badly written crap which has led square to the sorry state today . Shine on you crazy diamond and keep pretending the characters are 'deep'.

  • @angrydead The best part is when they all get gangraped by huge muscles.

  • @Twentyfour24Blog gangraped by huge muscles? lol whut.

  • @angrydead Hundreds of huge manly muscles up Selphie's fleshy, pristine vagina. You don't remember that bit?

  • @Twentyfour24Blog ....and I thought ff8's jokes where bad....

  • @angrydead Muscles bones.

  • @angrydead You're calling him a progressive rock song?

  • dude no fucking shit every final fantasy is different, they dont link. If you're gonna be so butt-hurt about a video game series, dont play it. You wasted your time doing this review, playing this game. Candy-ass

  • 3 things. 1. Try going outside. 2. when talking about gay stuff you shouldn't show yourself. 3. You wouldn't be so frustrated if you weren't a virgin. That is all...

  • "Emo Git, you're forgetting something. Your GirlFriend!" LOL

  • Zidane and Auron were the ONLY FF heroes that I had nothing to bitch about and regard as awesome characters.

  • Lol this video was the best looool I can't fuckin breath

  • this game looks AWSOME!

  • And I honestly have to agree with him about the characters in this game. Squall has the emotional range of a soggy napkin and that's on a good day -_-

  • I love how the fan boys of this game are getting all butthurt. IMO Final Fantasy stopped being good after VI. Period. And while it's still a good game, I can't stand VII for the sole fact that they've milked it's popularity so damn much with spin-offs like Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core. If you have to explain the plot of a game further with shitty sequels and spin-offs you didn't do a good job of explaining the story the first time around.

  • @ResiDex14112 I agree,however Imo FF9 was the only good FF after ff6.

  • The gunblade's gun part spins around a bullets fly out of it.

  • @Dimbark Incorrect. The Gunblade does not actually fire projectiles. In fact, all that pulling the trigger does is sending a shockwave throughout the blade that will cause deeper internal damage - this is the logic of having to press the trigger at the exact time of the attack.

    The Gunblade concept was later reconceived into what Lightning (from Final Fantasy XIII) uses - the Switch Gunblade - which does, in fact, fire projectiles in its firearm form.

  • >Complains of Squall's lack of masculinity.

    >Has bitch tits.

  • @rumbazz >Massive fan boy who makes fun of reviewer for having bitch tits >Has bitch tits

  • @mar50X I don't know what would make you think I'm a fanboy despite the fact that I never played FF8 in my life.

    But it is true, the spoonyone needs to shed some pounds.

  • Yeah this helps me know about the game thanks asshole

  • FF10 is great. If you just shut your brain off.

  • You like FF VIII if you're a fan of time travel. You like FF VII if you like cloning. You like FF X-2 if you're gay. What ever.

  • Loved it :D

  • And you probably think ff7 was the best just like everybody! Ff7 was great but the ending is such a let down! Ff is a lot like NIN there are always switching the style because that what real geniuses do! You will never real know what is great untill you really know what's bad! You have to take chances! this game was great and my fav beside ff6 not ff7!

  • you're a fuckin seedy weirdo

  • @tehriverwood y umad, bro?

  • The names crack me up.

  • Wow...

  • Name the dog cunt, then you get to do the cunt cannon... but no I love this game really.

  • I think this guy mentions "Gay" to much not to be hiding in the closet

  • Love this Game but at least he's objective and not a biased asshole...not sarcasm

  • @Sekainoowaride Even though you said you weren't being sarcastic, I can only assume that you are.

    He uses the word "gay" too often, he picks on stupid stuff like Tutorials, he complains about completely optional minigames which, by his words, is what breaks the game (is this guy serious?), he interprets every single scene in the most immature way possible.

    I love this guy. I do. And exactly because I know how objective he can be, I can totally see he's just grasping at shit straws.

  • i loved this gane personally but the walkthrough was funny!! squall lubefart!! haha tea bag tea bag!! funny shit

  • "shark-zooka" lmao

  • This guy is so F'ing annoying...

  • @salzburysteak

    then why watch?

  • For some reason, this seems more like a Persona game than Final Fantasy to me.

  • I thought this game was good, but this is so funny I have to like and sub!!

  • Ehrgeiz, I'll buy it if i find it.

    Bouncer...let me murder that game.

  • i love this game but this is soooo funnny

  • ff10 bad? That was the best in the series..

  • XD you sir are funny :p

  • FINAL FANTASY 8 IS THE BEST FINAL FANTASY!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha loser

  • @rossosnaruto you have naruto in your name...... whos the loser now?

  • Comment removed

  • terrible main characters and gameplay. story was bad BAD and the magic system was like tying a toddlers shoes over and over. fuck lagunas bullshit story wouldve been a better main game than this horseshit we got. AND WHO THE HELL SPARS WITH SWORDS AND FIRE? YOU WOULD DIE.

  • inb4heusesgunbladeasaweaponsta­ndard

  • cervantes from "soul calibur" had a gun blade, but his was practical and how he used it made sense. he is a effing pirate, but the gun blade from final fantasy 8 made no sense to me.

  • OMFG I ACTUALLY CRY OF LAUGHTER WITH THE INTRO PARODY SPOONY YOU FUCKING ROCK!

  • There can be only one!.... HAHA pull my finger!... xD

  • I FUCKING LOVE YOU

  • gay gay sissy gay XD

  • lmao. this review was awesome

  • If you enjoy FF8, for sure it was your first RPG ever and you did NOT played a proper Final Fantasy game or RPG before doing so. It's only my second-most hated FF game though, FF3 being the first. GAAHH, IT SUCKS! BOTH OF THEM!!

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahah­ahaaha............ emo git

  • asspickle and msbukkake....ok then....totally off subject but does anyone else think MarzGurl is hot?

  • Is this game good? i want to start playing some of the old final fantasy games that i haven't played, except ff7, of course ive already played THAT one.

  • @HYUJI111 play final fantasy 12 or 9

    Skip 8 like its a crack whore with syphilis

  • This is such a classic video game review. I never get tired of it. His Phantasmagoria and swat 4 lps too.

  • I really liked it when I was 15... :P

  • when i started to listen the review i thought "i have to insult this guy". but u know what is not necesary, he is just a troll

  • @Hayro3500 You are the only troll here. This is one of the worst RPG's ever made, don't get made at him for noticing. Heck I played this as a kid and I could already tell it was shitty.

  • FF8 was the worst FF of them all... i was bored as shit throughout ... the main characters were all manic depressive ... the junction system was too complicated... the magic draw system was just too lame... why do people rave about this game? i have no clue...

  • @hratchig80 the juction system is easy....poor guy...

  • @Hayro3500 It's also really,really stupid.

  • @ThePierrekirbyfanboy u know all the rpgs r same shit .......so u dont like rpg......

  • @hratchig80 how did you find it boring, you get sent on a mission to capture the president from a moving train, you try to assassinate a sourceress, you break out of jail, you infiltrate a base and stop some missiles, you have an epic battle on flying garden ships, where your the leader of an army, then you find an invisible futuristic city, go into space free a old sourceress kill it, save rinoa from space, kill a load of moster that took over an abandoned ship, then do some crazy time travel

  • @DaRkLoRd1061 yes...

  • @DaRkLoRd1061 It doesn't matter how many cool elements a story has if the execution is as horrible as it is here. Hell, when I first heard that the Twilight Saga was about a war between vampires and werewolves, you'd better believe I went to the library to check it out. But I don't think I have to tell you how well THAT went.

  • @pbdq12 fair enough, but i personally liked the combat system, cuz i mean junctioning made the characters more customisable than ever, well maybe less than ffx's sphere grid but still... and ok yes drawing was annoying but i didn't reli mind it all that much, and i dunno i just reli liked it, it just seemed to click with me, it's one of my favourites, even tho i still think ff6 and 7 are better....

  • @hratchig80 I gotta agree with DarkLord1061 on this. How the hell could you possibly find this game boring? You do the craziest shit there is in most JRPGs out there. Granted, it's no Shin Megami Tensei, but considering you found the Junction System complicated, I hardly believe you'd be entertained by a highly cerebral and intelectual storyline to begin with.

    What I mean to say is, if you cannot grasp the concept of Junctioning, you're about the gamer's level equivalence of a Disney game.

  • this is my fav ff game and i've played them all, except 11, 9 and (dont know if there is 13!)

  • @justletuslive - Final Fantasy XIII has been out for some time now.

  • This is hands down the funniest and accurate review of a video game I've ever seen. Brilliant. And to all of you butthurt fanboys watching, find a new hobby. It's just a review, it's not that fucking serious.

  • As far as im considered, the only good final fantasy games were 7, 12 and kingdom hearts ,although I did not play anything before 7 so i might be wrong on those ones, I dont know, 13 and 14 however certainly suck.

  • @LordAztahoth EXACTLY my opinion. its like you read my mind. i HATED this at first but it's my fav 3D FF now

  • I read in a bathroom stall once that the the 'gun' part of the gunblade fires blanks. However these blanks send a shock wave through the blade as you cleave into your opponent, effectively turning it into something not unlike a reciprocating saw. (Highly unlikely to ever be practical, but I'll still give them an A for creativity.)

  • 6:30 Omfg. I couldn't breath when he started talking about the gun blade.

  • @NostalgicCamper THE SHARKZOOKA! that freaking kills me

  • Sissy? Gay? Unresolved Homosexual Issues? So... are homosexuals sissys? Sorry bro but theres a BIG FAT differance between Emo and Gay.... Btw I love this game and I'm a "homo" but Not Sissy. Get your shit straight man, what we have here are two underaged Emos Engaging in a battle ovr eyeliner. lol

  • This game pisses me off with that stupid card game from hell.

  • "im gonna harm you" hahah

  • Is Spoony playing the PC version of FFVIII? The music sounds different.

  • Whenever I get an idea to try this game, I always come back to this video and remind myself why I should rather play something else.

  • @Achenar12 There are a few irritating aspects. The monsters level with you. The cards are entirely optional so I don't know what the fuck he's on about. The Junctioning was a new thing, and new things aren't always good. But it got discarded. You shouldn't NOT play a game because the developers tried to innovate the series with it and maybe failed. By that sense, you'll never play any FF until the very last game coming out.

    It's not nearly as bad as he's trying to make it sound. At all.

  • I don't see how loving this game and finding this 'review' the funniest shit in the universe are mutually exclusive; in fact my very fondness for this game, my whole love/hate relationship with it is precisely what makes this whole video so endearing.

  • Ironically watching Spoonyone play this game and complain only makes me wanna play it.

  • I actually like the concept of the Gun blade,If it's really a gun blade which means bullets and sword. I get where spoony is coming from, the grip would be nearly impossible. But i like how it looks...Maybe thats just me. I'm not saying spoony is wrong but I like final fantasy, no matter how stupid it seems. I think it would be cool to just go *Bam* *Slash* You dead. I mean there were gun blades in DotHack G.U and i like them there too. Regardless i think spoony's reviews are funny as all shit.

  • @FamineIsAwesome lol. what a mature comeback XD

  • 9:02

    "They have MsBukakke!?"

  • ur a fuckin idiot spoonyone, gtfo u have no idea how good this game is u only see the bad stuff. fuck you tard

  • @mrdanijel Sweetheart, it's just a comedic review and nothing more. Its sole purpose is to conjure laughs out out the viewers. There's no need to get riled up over a video game. Just take what he says with a grain of salt and keep it moving.

  • when spoony cuts to the game footage I cannot hear him.

  • @kathryn0200 You're probably hearing it in mono - you need stereo to hear both due to how it was recorded

  • THIS GAME NEEDS NO REVIEW, HEATHEN >.>

    Good review nonetheless....

  • Spoony is GOD. He's a genius for this review. It remains my favorite because he RIPS it APARTTTTT.

  • I wonder if sawedoffwinonalookingtoomuchle­atherwearingwiningmumblinggirl­hatingemoshitherbal will fit?

  • I like squall, but his game sucks plot wise.

  • Spoony's review is from the point of view of somebody playing the game for the first time, I agree it was confusing as hell especially when you were used to the classic FF format. I didn't like FF8 at all when it came out, it was only years later that I took the time to appreciate the leveling system and the many intricacies of magic junctioning. To this day I think that this is, with FF5, the most customizable FF game of all (Except 11 and 14).

  • haha " she's having a orgasim just looking at me" woow 03:56

  • I honestly thought Final Fantasy VIII was a decent game. Not even decent, but an amazing game. But damn, this review was FUCKING HILARIOUS. I was expecting some professionally serious review on it, and I come across this piece of gold. :DDD ..You guys really need to chill the fuck out, it's just a game review, it's not like you have to agree with everything he's saying.

  • if you use headphones if you take out the right one you hear just the game XD

  • I've watched this review somewhere around a dozen times already and I still laugh just as hard every time. It's HYSTERICAL. I have a special place in my heard for Final Fantasy VIII, but every time you take a step, you fall into a giant plot hole. Spoony is merely pointing them out. What's wrong with that?

  • wicked story line hard to choose which game is the best out the series would like to have time to play this game like i did when i was 14 years old and the others!

  • HEY, The Bouncer was alright.

  • @FinalFantasyFan12100 First you said there's nothing good about the review, then you say it's a bit funny. -_-

    Why don't you just stop being such a whiny fanboy and actually come up with an argument.

  • @AwsomeDudeReviews pay attention to the comment dumbass. I said GRANTED its a bit funny at the beginning. because of his voice over the characters -__-. Spoony clearly is clearly a whiny FF7 fanboy...

  • @FinalFantasyFan12100 Even if you "granted" him that, it still contradicts what you just said. Also, if he was an FF7 fanboy, he wouldn't have made a video pointing out all of its flaws (which he did). Fanboys can't handle criticism of thier game (like you), so that makes no sense. Try again, kid.

  • I liked the game, but I like this review too

  • glory holes and astro glide

  • a real video game fan should be able to handle a review that basically tears the series apart into its bear bones. yeah i like ff7 and stuff but i can watch this and not get annoyed b/c he points out certain things that ff8 had problems with

  • this is such a stupid review, go to hell you idiot

  • @superjasonful First of all this was made in 2007, and Second You Mad Fanboy lol

  • Why do you have a saw stapled to a wall?

  • ff8 9 10 and 10-2 were fine after that it all started going wrong

  • This is probably one of my favourite games of all time....and this is probably the best review of all time as well. Weird huh?

  • this is more of a whine than a review, you almost whine about everything square tried to do something new. About the junction system, you whine about it because it is complicated. About the drawing system, you whine about the repetitive nature of it, but seriously, what are the differences between drawing repetitively and killing monster repetitively for leveling up? + you whine about how the plot changed from fighting evil guys to a love story, well look at the logo again. Typical FFVII fanboy.

  • @Cafu192 its a bad thing you have to use time drawing magic... if you want to use magic you should find an interesting way to aqquire it and be able to use it as long you bring something to replenish your mana, thats standard RPG stuff. its bad that you have to choose beetween being statistically powerful or use magic, cause if you can get just as powerful not useing your magic, but saveing it , whats the point in useing it? and if you use it you have to use more time collecting magic...

  • @Mrmcroller and that is in your opinion? a good review never bash a game outright like what spoony did, a good review is about showing what's in the game and give it a little bit of their opinion. Also FF was never meant to be gameplay oriented, battle most of the time sucks (compare to the gameplay of other game). Without the awesome storyline, what do you think will happen to the ff series,with this type of gameplay? Shit, even FFVII, they all live solely base on good storyline.

  • @Mrmcroller And spoony never mention the storyline, in fact he never truly understood the storyline, as you can see right at the beginning he doesn't understand wtf the words are supposed to mean, that indicates he didn't even bother to actually "play" the game properly

  • @Cafu192 Yeah he didn't play the game properly, which explains where he got all the footage from.

  • @Mcmadness288 can't find the point in your post

  • You sound like Danny McBride haha

  • Actually these quotes are in English in the Japanese version of the game, too.

  • Gonna watch this before deciding if I should buy it from PSN

  • @BlueEye096 you should buy it, spoony's review is a review from a FFVII fanboy which is most of the time not accurate about the actual quality of the game. If you want a quality review from a final fantasy veteran who actually STUDIED all final fantasy from 1-7, go google Andrew Vestal's Final fantasy VIII review, he will look at it in a much more non-biased way.

  • @Cafu192 Already bought it along with VII but I'm still somewhat on the fence on how I like both games, I'm gonna check out that review, thanks.

  • knife wrench!!!

    

  • @spikeskitty21 for kids!!!

  • This isn't a review at all. This guy is just a dumbass don't even bother wasting your time watching this crap.

  • @britishtuna Aw you mad because he ragged on your nostalgia? Get over it, I enjoy this game too and a lot of the stuff he says is spot on.

  • @britishtuna Get out of here fanboy.

  • @britishtuna If you don't like it, why are you here fantard?

  • this made me lol irl
