Plot Synopsis
No plot synopsis or other information available for Final Fantasy VIII
Story & Playability
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.

Graphics
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 ....

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"!

Fun
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!

nice review, but a tad bit short
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.
erm, cool review. at least it got a cool rating
good review there, and ffviii is one of my favourite rpg game i ever play. ffviii also one step for Square when they try to develop more Full Motion Video in game. i like how square develop FF series from time to time.
Nice review. Though I wouldn't blame FF8 for not having voices, considering no FF has had voices before.
I
personally am not a huge fan of voices~ 
koool review i have to agree on that u would of liked it if they DID have voices... i like the FMV graphics very kool but the rest of the graphics.... were a bit disapionting....
Some people say FFVIII sucks, (which very annoying to me!) Like you, FFVIII will always be in my heart forever! And my edited clips of FFVIII can prove how much I love this Game. Most of my videos were FFs, especially FFVIII! you can visit my channel if you want, check it out!
Thanks for your great review about FFVIII!
