It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the 'lone wolf', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while...

This version is way better than the 2019 remaster. Just grab FFNX and the PS1 music mod for it, both are easy to install. FF8 is a good game. I play/replay it because it's comfy and the music is fantastic. You don't have to grind levels, just draw magic - which you can bypass with a card game. The story is cheesy: you have to remember that it's basically supposed to be a high school drama, and that the moments between Squall and Rinoa are supposed to be funny.
Final Fantasy VIII is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated games in the entire series and easily my favorite Final Fantasy I’ve played so far. The story really stands out with its focus on Squall and the emotional journey he goes through. It has a more personal tone compared to other entries, and while it can be a bit confusing at times, it has a lot of memorable moments and strong character development. The gameplay is unique with the Junction system, which lets you customize your characters in a very different way compared to other RPGs. It takes some time to understand, but once it clicks, it offers a lot of depth and flexibility. The game also has a really strong atmosphere, from the soundtrack to the world design. It creates a feeling that sticks with you and helps make the experience more memorable overall. Overall, Final Fantasy VIII is an underrated masterpiece in my eyes. It may not be for everyone because of its systems, but it delivers a unique and emotional RPG experience that I personally really enjoyed. Gameplay: 8/10 Very Good | Overall: 9/10 Great
I strongly believe this is one of the most underated Final Fantasy titles. I have beaten this game at least 4 times and it's one I still come bnack to now and then. The draw system is a little bit annoying and the story is a bit confusing to someone playing it for the first time, but the game does everything else so well that those minor flaws can be overlooked. It's a must play for anyone getting into the FF series.
