Final Fantasy 8 is one of those games that people either love or hate, and I’m definitely closer to loving it than I am to hating it. It’s got a lot of flaws but once you get into it it’s just so much fun to play. It’s got a unique combat system that admittedly takes a while to understand but is fun enough once you get the hang of it and a story that tries to do a lot, that doesn’t always work, but is engaging enough to keep you interested. The final boss fight is also insanely good and far exceeded my expectations of it (just wish the villain had some more development)
I didn't like it that much, mainly due to the Junction System. I don't think the system is terrible like some, it's actually pretty in depth and allows for more customization than the Materia System. The story took a little for me to get interested in but by the final act of Disc 2, I was engaged and was the only reason I finished it. Seeing Squall go from an annoying edgy MC to a respectable character was cool. It has the unfortunate circumstance of being in between VII and IX, but it is in no way a bad game.
Terrible PC port. You have to do a lot of modding to get it on par with the PS1 version.
I wasn't impressed with the game itself in the 3 hours I played. The characters felt paper-thin. Squall in particular is an unlikeable edgelord. The combat system is tedious as hell. Drawing magic is an incredibly boring and slow process even with the speed hack.

Underrated! Why? TRIPLE TRIAD
Rinoa x Squall
Posiblemente, la peor historia de amor que haya experimentado nunca
Lo cual es lamentable considerando que es uno de los temas principales

maybe not the best Final Fantasy, but certainly my favourite.
junction system is ..... meh
Hit me so hard
Pelo que falam desse jogo, achei que ia ser bem pior. Mas é fantástico, a forma que o squall se desenvolve me marcou muito, por eu me identificar um pouco. A história é boa, mas a reta final não me agradou muito, apesar de ter me emocionado com o encerramento. O sistema de junction é pouco chato e repetitivo, mas é interessante por adicionar um pouco mais de estratégia na hora de usar magias
gets more hate than it deserves. also triple triad.
Absolutely beautiful video game with writing that feels very queer. Quite possibly the most trans lesbian video game ever with the gameplay to boot.
I like Squall 🙂

Very slow. Dialogue also sounds like it was written by a child. I find it impossible to take any of the characters seriously or care about them at all.
OOOOUUUUHH IM SOOO ALONEEE!!!
One of the best endings of all time.

Back in the days of the Playstation 1, I played Final Fantasy VIII, although I never managed to finish it. In 2015, I decided to revisit the game with the goal of finally completing it. Surprisingly, it took me longer than anticipated, as I only accomplished that feat three years later from when I initially started. But I did it! I enjoyed the game overall (the extended duration was not due to any dislike for it), although my personal favorite remains Final Fantasy VII. The game's soundtrack, once again, stands out as a delightful piece of art, even beyond the context of the game itself.
Final Fantasy VIII marked the last installment in the series that truly captivated my interest to play. From that point onward, the style of the games shifted considerably and lost, at least for me, some of its appeal. I did give Final Fantasy IX a try (twice), but in both instances, I never managed to complete it. By then, I was playing more out of obligation because it was a "Final Fantasy" title rather than out of genuine fondness for it.

I didn't like the combat system and the game didn't get enough interest for me to finish it.
