Yeah, its my favorite too though I have competition when it comes to FFVI and VII which are also my favorites. FFVIII I considered to be one of the most daring and experimental of the series and I looked at it that Square wanted to create another Final Fantasy but not to put all the same things from previous games in it. It was more fresh and they wanted to know players reaction to these things instead of boring us with the same thing over and over. When FFXII comes out, it may take the same experimental form that FFVIII gave us (especially the different battle system).

FFVIII has excellent graphics, a good ending, decent story, and great music. I would love to see a remake or sequal (movie?) for it though it may be difficult.

Agreed. FFVII was decent, but FFVIII was what got me hooked on Final Fantasy.

Agreed final fantasy 8 is probably the best RPG out there and I don't think there ever be any game better or anything like it....

yeah, i always wonder why there isnt all this sequel stuff for ffVIII, youd think thered be. (just look at all the stuff for ffvii!)

but yes, i think ffViii, and ffii, get far too much smack talked about them. (especially by people that havent beaten them.)

my friend absolutely hates it, but he probably doesnt have the mental capacity to understand the junction system (or how awesome it is!)

go VIII!

I believe FF8 came out before along came polly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

FFVIII was only the 3rd most popular FF game, behind FFX and FFVII. So in other words FFVIII SHOULD be next in line for a few spin off titles, but it won't get them, because people are idiots and would rather get ports of old FF games for the rest of their lives...

I hated eight because what is the point of leveling up if the monsters do it with you?
I have no ambition to pwn
So I just...got to level 20 at the end of disk 4

You're not supposed to level up in FFVIII, that's what junctioning is for. It's a good thing that you got to the end of Disk 4 at level 20.

Hello "Along came polly" anyone?

Yeah...except it FFVIII came out several years before "Along Came Polly". Not only that, there is a BIG difference between how Polly changes Reuben and how Rinoa changes Squall...

EDIT: Damn you Nik0tine!
