Wouldn't it be nice if you told us how you thought of it first? >.<

Anyway....Its one my favs. I think it had the best ending of any FF IMO. Its 4th on my list of fav FFs out of 10.

Opps yeah sorry..I'm the one that started the thread I should have said something^_^

Well...for me it's one of the best FF games ever made, second place on my list and I love the story even if it's based on love.

CG OMG was fantastic and the music was also pretty good. Storyline was also good and the characters were fine...if you quit some annoying characters but..anyways I love this Ff^_^

Why does it sound like football cleats whenever the characters walk ? .-.

Yeah, its probably one of my top 3 at least. The story, characters, music and overall style is so good and yeah the ending was pretty good. :P

Ultimica always picks my shittest people when I fight her though xD I always forget she choses the characters at random.

I don't know..it was kinda annoying sometimes...I still don't get why all the characters had to follow Squall XD

and yeah Ultimecia picking random characters was so annoying....I always had to kill the ones that were unequipped and on top of that the first time she chose the party I wanted and she managed to kill them the bad party had to appear>_<

I prefered the following than just walking inside him and dissapearing like FF7.

Actually, its sort of a pattern. If Squall isn't in your party when she chooses. He WILL be the last one to show up when all the others die. Same thing goes for Rinoa too.... and basically anyone that has a Junction to them.

Ok but it's always necessary to have Squall in your party, I've never fought without him so I don't get what you said..you said if Squall isn't in your party..and that's what confused me>_<

Squall isnt always chosen, and its a bitch when he isnt but Kira's right. If he isnt chosen you have to wait until someone dies and they get absorbed into time (lolz) then a new character is chosen at random, excluding Squall who is only put into the fight when your other reserve characters have been absorbed.

Oh, ok you were talking about the final battle then? I thought it was in the whole game XD cos everybdy knows that Squall always is there when you fight:lol:

FFVIII was my first FF game and it's still my favourite. It's a flawed game in some ways, but it'll always be special to me as the game that really got me hooked on console RPG's.

I will only said I dislike this game. Oh and you could have bumped one of the other FF game quality threads "One of my favorites" or "Worst FF IMO". Since they do the same thing yours is doing.

Its my favourite. It was the first Final Fantasy I played and the first RPG. So it introduced me to the FF series.

I cant find fault with the game and love everything about it.

People really need to start and analyze their "first" better. My first was FFVII and I know the faults of it (and it has many) because I would not let myself fall into a blindly loyal crowd.

Hey Desi, I started out with FF10 first. o.0

I pray for your life my good sir. Now lets go to Macronni Temple.

Even after playing FF10 first, I still thought FF7 blew it away. Ok, say if my first FF was FF2.... does that automatically means that it has to be my fav?

No, not at all. I used the "It took my virginity, it is the best, it is perfect" people.

Just because your first final fantasy wasnt your favourite, doesnt mean that applies to everyone.
Let people have their opinions.

I never said that. Im just tired of hearing in threads "Which is the best Final Fantasy" most of them say "FF[insert number here] is the best cause it was my first." Thats kinda lame if you ask me.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my fav Zelda, but its not my fav cause it was the first one I played, its my fav because it had the best plot and was the deepest of all Zeldas.

the only downside was the junction system which could be really tedius juggle with.. so i just tried to stay away from it as much as i could :D

In my opinion, The Twilight Princess comes pretty damn close if not equal to Ocarina Of Time.

I like this game a lot. It is one of my favourites despite some obvious flaws (the fact that Selphie, Zell, Quistis and Irvine didn't get developed at all for the most part) which is a pretty big flaw, but everything else sorta makes up for it. The world is great, I unlike most people love the junction system and the boss battles were pretty fun.

The sorceress mythology was so cool too. EDEA ROCKS. Ahem.

FFVIII is on my top 3 for my favourite FF's. Its plotline was great with the Garden-Sorceress conflicts, Galbadia-Everyone else conflicts. The characters were great and, even though it wasn't the best, they had some good development and you did get to learn more about their pasts.

Junction system was ace as it could make or break your party depending on how you junctioned them. I remember my first playthrough I sucked horribly because I didn't fully understand it, but time went by, I got to appreciate it used it very strategically to make sure I pwnt everyonez.

Also, music and triple triad ftw. :cookie:

Honestly, it was Final Fantasy VIII that got me into the Final Fantasy game series. I was so crazy over the game for a long time. After that I went to play Final Fantasy X and become a complete fan (although I said that, it's only several selected title that caught my interest). Right now, I am playing Final Fantasy VII.

Off-topic but playing FFX makes you a complete fan? If it does anything it would be that Nojima fails hard as of late.

I really enjoyed 8. It's probably my favorite FF to date.

I really liked that it was much more realistic compared to most FF games. An all human cast, and a not so unrealistic plot.

It also had my alltime favorite character, Quistis. I loved everything about her character, even though she was in the background alot of the time.

I love 8 a lot.But it seems to be forgotten by people today.I hope square-enix will do something to bring FFVIII back like they did to FFVII

Definetely one of my faves (drawing with IX, I think), I just really enjoy playing it everytime. Each time I replay it I'll do something different, like taking Irvine to the moon instead of Selphie, and it just never gets old like it does in a lot of other games I've played. Plus most of my favourite characters are from this game, that definetely helps.

The whole first half of the third disk had me bawling, nothing else has EVER done that to me, ever. Though I do half blame that on the sleeploss...

Totally loved the junction system, I swear it's so annoying that almost all the people that slag it off are the people that barely tried to use it. Loved the Rinoa meteor trick for Ultimecia, too, I don't even have to look ^_^.

FF8 is my 2nd fave FF game, I've read alot of forums where people say they really didn't like the game because of the whole draw system but I actually thought that was quite nifty =]
The storyline was really good aswell, not as 'epic' as ff7 lol but it was a really good game and deserves good feedback...In my opinion anyways
