Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ Classic Final Fantasy OST never disappoints.
- Uninteresting story.
- 'Junction' mechanic that makes combat less fun.
- Currently tired of the academy/special students with special powers trope.
After so many years as a Final Fantasy fan, I finally played this. I know this game is one of the divisive Final Fantasy games due to its story and gameplay mechanics, and I don't like it. I was playing this game and Final Fantasy IX at the same time and I connect with FFIX more than this one. VIII just tried to be so different for its time. I couldn't get past disc one, I don't even know if I was even halfway through disc one. I don't remember my Final Fantasy VII playthrough much, but Materia was certainly more fun and interesting than Junction. How can you go from VII to this..
