sidenote: no greater story in my history of gaming. insanity towards disc 3/4. multidisc rpgs are the way to go. turn-based games are all anime and shit nowadays. its a bummer.
This was the first final fantasy game to use orchestra music for the intro and ending...was it the first video game to use movie quality orcehstra music?
Didn't like the magic draw quantity effecting stats, but on the plus, I think this game had the most side quest summons of all time. The Cactaur that dealt 10,000 needles was one of my faves...RAGNAROK! Death of the Gods!
Having played through just about all FF's this one still holds a special place in me. One of my favourite games of ALL TIME & one of the best soundtracks of all time.
I'm always a heartbeat away from crying when I see this fucking video. Same with the ending to Cowboy Bebop; FMA actually gets real tears from me, if I see the whole 'sacrificing himself for his brother' part(s).

The story, setting and characters of the game are interesting and the music is standard FF quality.
But the gameplay is just sooo slow. The battles take 3 centuries to begin, and I wanna kill who thought the Draw system was a good idea. That's my main gripe with the game.
I remember this was a time when all I looked forward to after I got home was to play me some final fantasy. Now my house is flooded with bills and responsibilities :(
I like the story & gameplay (the gameplay what made people hate VIII, but i think that's what made this game unique) . The storyline is interesting, a student who passed the exam and become an elite soldier then have a task to defeat evil sorceress, travel around the world, go outer space, Love story between Squall & Rinoa, and then finally save the world.
love this game still as good as any game i felt like i knew ever character such a gradual buil up , modern games would replace intermit moments and skip or just use cutscene to explain story
What was I doing on September 9th 1999 (9/9/99) after school? I was opening up my brand new copy of FF8 and popping it in my PS1 sitting down and watching this opening in amazement. I never seen anything that looked that good in a game ever. Squall is so awesome! What a memory! FF7,8,9,10 The best games ever.
@FREEZERQC if you have ever thought about the dozen symbolic meanings in the game rather than just the cheesy farcial love story, you'll know that this is a game that can hardly be surpassed by any.
Hi folks! If you're interested in lending your voice for Squall, Rinoa, Zell or any of your fav VIII characters, check out my channel! We're planning to do a fandub that spans the whole game, and the AUDITIONS ARE OPEN for everybody! Cheers!
I have this game (platinum edition) for PSX until today's day. Its too bad for me i dont have a sony playstation console nowadays. I thinking about buying a PSX or PS2 console for playing this game again. ^^ One of the best RPG and Final Fantasy games i played.
I downloaded this game for my PSP two days ago and I just got to Disk 2. I LOVE this game so far :) After years of not knowing anything about it but knowing two of the characters, all my questions are FINALLY getting answered haha.
To me, as great as FF7 was, FF8's story is AWESOME!!. I mean they're both awesome, but FF8 really strikes a chime. The magic draw system, sometimes annoying, also made me feel more a part of the process than just using materia.

Hej guys! I loved FF8 and now I have a problem...pls help
Is it possible to get saves from psx ff8 and transfer them to the psp ? I need saves before the last fight on the 2 disc...I had 4 characters with 100 levels..gf's with I can remember well but around 100 levels too. I played a lot of when I was younger but my 2 disc has crashed and I have never had a chance to end this game. PLS HELP What shoudl i do? I don;t want to play whole game again..100 hours are too many to repeat. ;-(
I started playing this game for the first time a few days ago. It is very different from FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVII and FFIX, and I was a little disappointed to the lack of an MP status at first. But after my first few hours into the game, the unique concept of gaining stats through Guardian Forces made the game more interesting. It was a different and unique Final Fantasy in a good way.
12 years after its release, I am still in love with this game. I owe all the bandai action figures, the soundtrack, posters, and a 42" replica gunblade. MOVIE NOW!
Final Fantasy X may be the best, but this one is most definitely second in comparison, and will always be my favorite. Also, let me say "Wow" to everyone who didn't like this game because of a gameplay factor. They all have terrible gameplay, but they are still great games for other reasons.
@DragonLcver FF10 is great man , but, you know , ff7 was my first playstation game , and i do prefer ff7 than FF10 because of the story , the gloomy atmosphere of ff7 . I think that the characters are better ... But anyway FF10 is also really good .
@Frenchkisssss The characters are better?! O.o Well... Red XIII is kind of good, and maybe Cait Sith, but the rest... Sheesh. It is definately gloomy, but story wise... I'd say ten is superior. Also, the best summons + summon system. The fact that every character could learn every ability... (Well, seven kinda had that) So, gameplay wise ten is most definately superior (even though in reality it's exactly the same -_-') Voice acting. Graphics. So... You mean VII is better for nostalgics sake?
Am I the only person who hated the magic system in this game? I remember being amazed by the graphics in this game, but by the time I finished it, I really felt that the game play really left something to be desired after 6 and 7.
my all time favourite video game if not my favourite Final Fantasy, number VIII, VII and X kick ass the others ive never really played. there was something about FF8 that had such a beautiful, spectacular and cosy atmosphere the characters are so cool. when ever i drift away from this horrible dark cruel world we live in i like to think of all the nice places of FF8 balamb gardens, dollet, deiling city e.x. it always brings a tear to my eye and i think ill always love this fine creation.
@checkeredflag90210 You see when VII came out there was nothing like it at all and it was a total joy to play and sponge every single second of the game. It truly was such an amazing experience.
i agree that it was different but i feel that it doesnt deserve to be labeled as a "the best rpg and best final fantasy". the best ff was vi and the best rpg in my opinion was Chrono Trigger.
Anyone notice the scene where the Revolver spins down from the sky then stabs to ground is a very iconic moment for many movies & games that many have used similar moments after FFVIII's release?
I remember playing this game all night...until my dad told me to turn it off and go to bed, those were back in the days when things were much simpler :)
Coolest Final Fantasy introduction, but unfortunately lamest Final Fantasy story, and it's a shame for a Final Fantasy with a lovely couple (Squall/Rinoa) and great rivals (Squall vs Seifer).
I guess it's because Squaresoft focused more on improving the graphisms than in the storyline.
Final Fantasy IX is the coolest Final Fantasy for having the most amazing storyline.
Final Fantasy VII is also cool but only for the characters look and mini games, but it doesn't beat the IX's storyline.
@Zorianff9 i didn't think the story was lame in itself, it just had WAY too many characters. i hated how right when things were about to pop off or just climaxed in the main story, it'd throw over to laguna's side which generally consisted of non-sense game play that could have been done as a CS. also the constant party switching was a pain.
Ppl hated FFVIII because of its battle system (GF junction, find elements for weapons) and its storyline wasn't interesting enough and didn't offer much interrelations in its world's history, and the characters were not explored enough, only Squall Rinoa Seifer & Edea mattered but also didn't offer much origins.
FFIX has the greatest storyline with interesting characters (Zidane from Terra & Kuja's Brother, Dagger princess of Alexandria born in Madain Sari, Vivi black mage created with Mist...)
@Zorianff9 FF VIII is not interesting?? From where you fight with first GF to involve in a war, assassinate a president XD, defeat evil sorceress, travel around the world with your WHOLE SCHOOL O_O, go outer space and finally save the world that's just a great advanture. The stories of Squall, Laguna and others are amazing. And finally the love story of Squall and Rinoa (for me) is the most romantic in the whole series.
The junction system is annoying sometimes but for me it's good overall.
The things you mentionned are the events in the game, and they are indeed interesting and fun to play (war in Dollet, assasinate sorceress during parade, travel around world in the Garden, war between Seed & Galbadians, go in outer space), but I was talking about the story and the origins in the world of FFVIII, it's not explored and interrelated enough and I should add that even some antagonists were left out at the end with no more matter just for Ultimecia (Galbadians, Seifer, Abel)
I'd love to live in Balamb. Even just this opener makes me want to cry because it highlights the story of so many amazing characters; even someone like Seifer, I hated yet pitied and loved a lot for so many reasons.

Actually, nearly every gaming site out there rates FF6 as superior to the rest. FF4 is known as the FF game to set the series as top tier.

i thought that VI was the best. VII is very overrated but VIII is very underrated.

@checkeredflag90210 You see when VII came out there was nothing like it at all and it was a total joy to play and sponge every single second of the game. It truly was such an amazing experience.

i agree that it was different but i feel that it doesnt deserve to be labeled as a "the best rpg and best final fantasy". the best ff was vi and the best rpg in my opinion was Chrono Trigger.

Anyone notice the scene where the Revolver spins down from the sky then stabs to ground is a very iconic moment for many movies & games that many have used similar moments after FFVIII's release?
Square sure knows how to change traditions ;)

I remember playing this game all night...until my dad told me to turn it off and go to bed, those were back in the days when things were much simpler :)

Coolest Final Fantasy introduction, but unfortunately lamest Final Fantasy story, and it's a shame for a Final Fantasy with a lovely couple (Squall/Rinoa) and great rivals (Squall vs Seifer).
I guess it's because Squaresoft focused more on improving the graphisms than in the storyline.
Final Fantasy IX is the coolest Final Fantasy for having the most amazing storyline.
Final Fantasy VII is also cool but only for the characters look and mini games, but it doesn't beat the IX's storyline.

@Zorianff9 i didn't think the story was lame in itself, it just had WAY too many characters. i hated how right when things were about to pop off or just climaxed in the main story, it'd throw over to laguna's side which generally consisted of non-sense game play that could have been done as a CS. also the constant party switching was a pain.

I don't understand why ppl hate on FFVIII. I love it! Its the first FF I ever played so it holds special memeories :o)

Ppl hated FFVIII because of its battle system (GF junction, find elements for weapons) and its storyline wasn't interesting enough and didn't offer much interrelations in its world's history, and the characters were not explored enough, only Squall Rinoa Seifer & Edea mattered but also didn't offer much origins.
FFIX has the greatest storyline with interesting characters (Zidane from Terra & Kuja's Brother, Dagger princess of Alexandria born in Madain Sari, Vivi black mage created with Mist...)

@Zorianff9 FF VIII is not interesting?? From where you fight with first GF to involve in a war, assassinate a president XD, defeat evil sorceress, travel around the world with your WHOLE SCHOOL O_O, go outer space and finally save the world that's just a great advanture. The stories of Squall, Laguna and others are amazing. And finally the love story of Squall and Rinoa (for me) is the most romantic in the whole series.
The junction system is annoying sometimes but for me it's good overall.

The things you mentionned are the events in the game, and they are indeed interesting and fun to play (war in Dollet, assasinate sorceress during parade, travel around world in the Garden, war between Seed & Galbadians, go in outer space), but I was talking about the story and the origins in the world of FFVIII, it's not explored and interrelated enough and I should add that even some antagonists were left out at the end with no more matter just for Ultimecia (Galbadians, Seifer, Abel)

I'd love to live in Balamb. Even just this opener makes me want to cry because it highlights the story of so many amazing characters; even someone like Seifer, I hated yet pitied and loved a lot for so many reasons.

@paranoidandroidRH Thinking about it, Balamb does seem like a pretty awesome type of university/military training camp hybrid to go to...
