what was wrong with FF8? Think I might actually prefer it to 7.

The story was nonsense, even for Square. Can anyone here honestly say they understand what the fuck happened? Donnie Darko has nothing on this.

The characters were awful, even for Square. EmoBoy and AnnoyingGirl in the most unbelievable romance I've ever witnessed. Accompanying AnnoyingGirl, enter Zell the MostAnnoyingBoy. What about Irvine? The coolest and most skilled sharp-shooter you'd ever meet, but don't ask him to actually shoot someone, jeez.

The combat system was silly. First of all, the game was HARDER if you levelled up. In a JRPG? What?! And then we have the magic system. I'm sure we all had fun choosing DRAW over and over again. Oh, we also have the character customisation system, which gave us more reasons to love the Draw command.

Man with Machine Gun is one of the coolest tracks to come out of Square, I'll give it that much. YouTube - Final Fantasy VIII - The Man with the Machine Gun [HQ]

I have to agree with ST^. The game looked amazing - the cutscenes where stunning and they pulled more visually from the PSOne than anyone had any right to expect, but the game itself was awful for all the reasons ST^ said.

I remember just feeling slightly dissapointed around half way through it when the novelty of the visuals wore off and really dissapointed by the end. Also for me, the story just wasn't very involving and I didn't particularly like the characters either.

As I said earlier in the thread - it is simply a personal thing. If you found yourself getting behind the characters and felt involved in the story, then yeah, I am sure for you it was probably much better than 7.

I also like The Successor

Actually I like it all, and listen to the OST in the car :)
I used to drive down to England semi-regularly and it was sometimes FFVII on the way down, FFVIII on the way back up.

Actually I loved the plot, and I loved the combat system :) Liked how the event turned out. And I don't see the point in calling Squall emo? It's not like he complained alot, or cried, or slit himself up. Actually, he don't show much emotions at all(Untill the later part of the game, when the love story hits for real).

It all comes down to the person playing the game I suppose. And if I had to rank the FF games. I'd say 8 / 7 / 9 / 10 / 12 / 13

surely FF XIII-2 = FF11? or XI if u prefer

At first I thought you were stupid, untill I actually understod it myself xD

Different strokes and all that I guess. I loved FF8.
Triple Triad was fucking awesome.

Final Fantasy 9 wasnt that bad either tbh, had a decent story and some of the bosses were well cool.

Just wanted to add one thing to this thread - regardless of which of the games you think are good or bad, the music in all of these games is actually pretty extrodinary.
