Man........I got chills when the music started. I have always loved the intro. I had a PS1 that couldn't use memory cards so I had to restart Final Fantasy VIII countless times but the intro truly made me want to come back for me. FF8 is definitely my favorite 3D turn based RPG. I'd love a remake!!!
I've heard rumours that they're considering an ff8 movie, because of the success of advent children, but it's just a rumour. They're making Dissidea (An ff fighting game with characters from every ff)
FF8 was a good romance story, but I love FF7 purley because of Zack and Cloud's story, it's just heartbreaking. At least Seifer lived at the end of ff8
That game had an almost infinite replay value. You could imagine any challenge and try to complete the game with it. I have a file at the last boss with no exp levels gained, yet all objects, cards, etc. The game balance was fantastic. Gimme a graphic clean up version of THAT any day...
FF8 Movie would definately be great! Either like they did FF7 AC a few years later or just go with the game... I want More FF Movies! >D
Liberi Fatali is my Fave Song in this Game XD They did a great job making this scene fit so perfectly with the song, especially when Seifer is about to hit Squall XD
if they did make this movie- it would sell more than advent children IF they had REAL ACTORS or had the whole story line (no tinkering) in like 2-3 dvd's. i mean it would seem long but look at LORD OF THE RINGS...
and the reason why ff8 would be a good seller is because of the romance, the complex storyline, and one nobou uematsu's top albums.
Final fantasy 7- an immersive masterpiece which will always be one of my favourites.
Final fantasy 8- Immense gameplay,fantastic use of junction system and the graphics even NOW look smooth and detailed.(albeit too easy. You can basically get squall powerful enough for an instakill within 45 minutes of play.)
Between the 2, 8 takes my vote. 7 loses points because of the simplicity of sephiroth at the end. Ultimecia at the end of ff8 posed more of a challenge than jenova/sephiroth on ff7.
No. Final Fantasy 7 is, and will remain my favorite, but they went TOO FAR. They should not have made Dirge of Cerberus. They should have left it alone. They just need to leave these masterpieces ALONE before they're ruined.
I'll admit though I loved Advent Children, but it was a very very risky move. I vote to just leave FF8 alone, lol.
comee into my bedd ive got to knoww know knoww iyouu im dreaming of urkawhales and owlss but i wake in fear fea frear you will never you will never beyou will never be my dearr dearr freinddd
Who care which one is better, both are great, FFVII and FF8, hell stop complaining and enjoy these great games, BTW my PERSONAL favorite is FF8, i like the relationship between Squall and Rinoa too much.
Final Fantasy, lets compaire... FF7 has Two Movies, Three Games, and FF8 has...one game.
The game FF8 was one of the best indeed but 7 was down right the fucking best. If any of them would compaire it would be 12, though not many would agree with me due to their "love" for characters more then story.
i play on ff7 and ff8 and think the 8 the better becouse that the better that's all the 7 is good but not good than the 8 . and i thnking the 8 the best game in the world anything mean this too ?
arguing about which ff is the best is just plain retarded, it depends on the player, there is no such thing as an absolute truth, opinions are like assholes, deal with them.
FF7 lacks a storyline really. Its a good game but it lacks then they are making a remake. they should aleast make a movie and a remake for Final fantasy 8.
i second that wutup411 most ppl that like ff7 usually do because their friend like it and when u ask them y they like it, they could never give u a good reason y they like it, some of the reason are like there's alot of minigame in there or cause it's too confuse to understan
naruto6302: I know your post is old but you really should do more research to justify what you just said. Everyone I've asked why they like FF7 has given the same answer. The story and the gameplay are good. It's never been because of the mini games or because their friends like it, and it definitely isn't confusing so long as you actually pay attention to it.
Anyone who says that FF7 lacks a storyline clearly didn't understand the story. FF7's story is has the most depth of any FF story. For years there were theories about what really happened. Was Sephiroth really a villain? Was he just Jenova's pawn? Was he special in any way or was everything special about him really a manifestation of Jenova? This went on until 2005 when the Ultimania came out.
Ultimaticia may e harder than sephiroth ut if you have trained right and know how to use the junction system she is piss to kill i killed her in a few mins its the weapons on ff7 that r hard to kill
i agree with u on FF8 it was a really great game but FF7 was still better because its battles were more difficult and better did u ever defeat emerald or ruby weopon and if u haven't don't comment on a game u don't know. What is retarded about FF7 pls I would like to know?
i played this game (^_^) it is such a good game! in fact all of the final fantasy games r awesome!!!!!! (^_^) oh and thanx for putting this out, now i can watch in when ever i feel like it (^_^)
how old are u, u fucking child FF9 is a childs game and shit compared to FF7 the only thing better about FF9 is it has better graphics but its story line is shit and its battle system sucked and did not compare to FF7 battle system.
lol u retarded im prolly older than u thats for sure, and i prolly got nuff life experience to say whats good and what suck based on game play of all those games...and i stick to it: ff7 suck even compared to ff9
SQUARESOFT did that big announcement and build up to FF8 the main one being the intro was created using the PS2 emotion engine. i never saw a game look that good on PS2. not even now its its twilight year.
FF9 sucked. Cliched & annoying characters, a slow story, rehashed elements from past FF's and it was too easy. FF8 and FF6 are by far the best in the series.
Almost all classical Latin based songs sound a lot alike. However, I assure you; this is fully original. Nobou Uematsu (the composer) was a self-taught genius.
Back when FF games were the most epic games around. Now they're just too linear...
