on a scale of 1-10 he it is!

Story line-9
Characters-8 1/2
Game play-10( i love junctioning and the abilities)
Music-10(doesnt get any better, i have a thing for songs in latin)

i like the succetion of witches, (ficos lucos wecos vinosec,thats it in latin) Ultimecia to edea to rinoa to adel to ultimecia back to edea! friggin awsome and the fate of the world rest on your shoulders all of time past present and future, it doesnt have the super easy and cheap materia combos of ff7 thank God that was so easy( i still love it tho! I DID NOT LIKE RINOA!! iam sry that sounds like ff blasphomy,but she was weak worthless,( i know that the girls if FF generaly are but......yea that is not a slam ladies it is just that way, in games and real life if you want to disspute that give me a message)but back on topici would give it a 9 total. i recomend it to every one! gl hf!

Sorry but i disagree.
Firstly i hate the junctioning system.
It takes to long to draw all the majic from enimiesto raise your stats.
The story stars cool but you get droped into the crappest mission ever with the forest owls.
The lack of skill needed as well peed me off as GF's are basicly the only attack you need to use go after go as they're so damn powerfull.
I think the music for this game is pretty bad to.
The whole game just feels kinda dull.It has its bits but they are too few.
I dont really no why but i just dont like this one very much :-(

Yea, just like it takes a long time to run around back an forth to level up and raise your stats, too in all other FF's. I mean, come on, basically, all you need to do is get Squall to a high level and fuck everybody else. As Squall gets stronger, the monsters get stronger and u draw better magic from them (another plus for the Draw/ Junction system) and that makes it so that my level 30 Rinoa can have 255 magic stats and single- handedly destroy Omega Weapon.

The train mission??? that mission was great!! The graphics were the greatest there, and to top it off, u fight a boss that u can draw water from, which is some strong magic at that point in the game.

The lack of skill needed as well peed me off as GF's are basicly the only attack you need to use go after go as they're so damn powerfull.
In the beginning of the game you should use GF's for their power, as they're waay stronger than u physically. But near the end, don't they become physically useless??? i mean, why wait a long- ass time for Ifrit to do 8000 damage when u could have wiped out the enemy by now? But as the Gf's become useless physically, Ability- wise and Junction- Wise, they become even more useful than when they were 5 times stronger than u. Many people don't have the smarts to realize that.
As u can see, i LOVE FFVIII and i will fight to the death for it

at first, i had no fucking idea what the junctioning system was...
my characters sucked..
i couldnt even beat adel, thats how sad they were

but when i got the hang of it - i fucking loved it

hell, i still love it.

junctioning is still a bit odd for me tho, but i like not having to use MP.

the storyline to me was amazing
and i love the characters - they were easy to relate too

and the music is fucking awesome

you can get water magic by refining the items you get from the Fastitilocalon-Fs(or whatever they are called) in the beginning of the game...you use Shiva's refining ability(what was it called?)...

Closed. The subject matter of this thread is essentially the same as the "What Makes FFVIII Stand / Fall" thread pinned at the top of this section.


Also, try to make better thread titles. Anyone opening the thread would have no idea what is about. True opinions about what? The hottest girl or guy? The best weapons? Cheese?
