| | Final Fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Final Fantasy is also known for "re-inventing" the series with almost every game, as each game takes a different approach in gameplay than the last, though the plots generally remain very similar in regard to their central structure and use of certain repeated plot devices and themes. | | | Final Fantasy (Japanese: ファイナルファンタジー Fainaru Fantajī) is a series of role playing games produced by Square Enix (originally Square Co., Ltd.). | | | Final Fantasy VII was also the first Final Fantasy game to use full motion video sequences, part of the reason why the game spanned a full three CD-ROMs. |

| | Final Fantasy VIII - definition of Final Fantasy VIII in Encyclopedia |
| | Final Fantasy games are known for their story and use of FMV, and many players felt Final Fantasy VIII was real proof of how far advances in both could go. | | | The gameplay in Final Fantasy VIII is quite different than that of its predecessors, with a strong focus on overall character development, in place of the more familiar weapon/armour/ability collecting. | | | The other big change in Final Fantasy VIII was the concept of enemies leveling up along with the player. |

| | The game had awesome grafics which was an improvement over the other final fantasy games, realistic looking characters and a very good looking Rinoa and Quistis... | | | I have played Final Fantasy VII like 5 times and I still play it, but I never get bored. | | | You shouldn’t just say it is a great game because of the graphics because we are the ones that should encourage the companies to make a great game that has it all. |

| | Final Fantasy VIII Review - GameCritics.com |
| | Linear game play such as this has been a mainstay in Final Fantasy since the beginning, but it used to be balanced with character interaction. | | | No one is immune to this, not even accomplished game developers; with every leap in hardware, videogame developers are using more and more elements that have traditionally been grounded in movies and implementing them now into their games. | | | Also, Square is convinced that older gamers play their Final Fantasy games more now so they have "treated" us again with more pointless cursing. |

| | GameOver - Final Fantasy VIII (c) Electronic Arts |
| | Final Fantasy VIII has tackled these by changing certain aspects in this game to better suit the player. | | | In my opinion, every Final Fantasy title I've played is less of a game than it is a graphically driven, interactive, choose-your-own-adventure style novel, and for those who agree, Final Fantasy VIII will not disappoint. | | | Were it not for the remarkably well fabricated plots that draw players deep into the situations at hand and into the characters lives, most would not be able to play through these games that can take dozens upon dozens of hours to complete. |

| | The Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VIII |
| | But the graphics of the game are non the less awesome and deserves a good rating even if they are too realistic for being a Final FANTASY game in my opinion. | | | Yes directed, Square has started to be more like movie producers than a videogame company, many scenes from the game could be directly copied from a action or love movie and the fantasy and magic touch of the other FF-games can only be seen at a few moments in the game. | | | The characters are well thought out but the aces in the deck: Kiros, Laguna and Ward are only playable for a very short period of the game. |

| | Final Fantasy VIII - Retroview |
| | Final Fantasy VIII, moving on, is perhaps the most futuristic installment of the entire series, what with the presence of technology such as cars (our good friends the Chocobos still exist, so don’t worry there), spaceships, and even space stations. | | | Finally, enemies no longer drop money, since the player now receives a salary based on his SeeD ranking. | | | Admittedly, spending a long time drawing magic from enemies can be frustrating, especially if you lack the items necessary to synthesize spells, but it’s not as bad as some have made it out to be (the player isn’t forced to spend long hours drawing magic), and combat is tolerable in the end. |

| | Final Fantasy WarCry™ |
| | Besides veering away from the fantasy theme, the most talked about aspect of FFVIII is its smaller character focus -- Squall, his love Rinoa, and the evil sorceress Edea take center stage for a bulk of the game, with the collection of character providing some interesting support. | | | Though some people have been turned off by the more romantic, movie-like pacing of the story, I thought that it was a step in the right direction -- mature, interesting, and filled with the sort of depth and character development that you rarely, if ever, see in games. | | | Not only was this not the case, but this is one of the only times where I can say that the PlayStation version not only played better, but it (gasp!) looked better. |

| | Final Fantasy VIII |
| | Although the Zelda games have long enjoyed greater mainstream recognition (as most Nintendo products often do), the Final Fantasy series is widely considered to be the crème de la crème of RPGs, far superior in complexity, depth and intrigue. | | | Characters are no longer "super-deformed" icons with small bodies and large heads; they now appear lifelike and articulate, similar to the characters in 3-D fighting games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter. | | | FFVIII offers the most engaging experience yet, creating an effect so powerful that it often bends and distorts the player's concept of reality. |
