nice review, but a tad bit short
Final Fantasy VIII tv Review
Story & Characters
I played ALL Final fantasy series, and many other cool games, I watched many anime titles for hours and hours, but
none of them affected me like Final fantasy VIII, the characters, the plot, I'd say the game has a soul for itself,
I played it 15 times to the end, and I still would If I can, I don't know what you people think about it, but even
compared to today's games with shiny graphics and effects, they don't captivate you like what people call
"OLD JUNK" these days. I give it 19/20. Seifer's pure but foolish dream, squall's awakening,
Rinoa's jittery behaviour, Selphie's overkinesis!!!, Irvine's CLUB!Edea's dark fate,Quistis's
Fallen dreamsFujin&Raijin's Loyalty, They all etched their place in my mind.

Art
Well, at the time the game came out for PC, hardly a game could match it's graphics, but it would seem trash
nowadays, I still remember the opening FMV, and always will! But I didn't even care about the graphics when the
characters showed up! I still remember Zell's fiery appearance and Squall's Icy greeting! The art in the game
is really cool, especially the Guardian forces and certain Bosses for example ....
Rating:
Sound
The speech? One of the coolest humor and also serious talk I've heard (say seen!) the game has no speech, as none
of the old square games have, although I extracted a secret Rinoa voice out of the game saying "What is the
matter"!
Rating:
Presentation
As I stated, although there is no sound in the game, you won't care about anything but the plot when you get in
the game, and the conversations are coolers!! I would've said many things but it would spoil the game for you!
Every character in the game has his/her own humor style, I specially prefer seifer's sharp tongue, and also his
freedom! Hell, he's my favorite character of all times. If you just play the game once, I bet you'll wat to
play it over and over, hell , it's the best selling Final fantasy game ever, you should give it a try! The game
seems a bit difficult at first with all that Junctioning and stuff, but once you get used to it, it's pretty easy!
Rating:
Final Verdict
9.0000 (very good)

Hmm, maybe in sound you could have reviewed the OST? And maybe in presentation review the game mechanics like the battle system. This game I find some people really disliked because of the junction system.

Nice review. Though I wouldn't blame FF8 for not having voices, considering no FF has had voices before. :D I personally am not a huge fan of voices~ :)
