Final Fantasy VIII
System: Playstation
Genre: Role-Playing
Developer: Squaresoft
Squaresoft is known for creating the most
epic and cutting-edge video games available
on the market. Not only are their games a
leap ahead technology-wise, but the stories
and adventures in Squaresoft games such as
Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy VII and
Xenogears have been revolutionary in the
genres of science fiction and fantasy.
Squaresoft’s games have always been a
unique stock. The plots and characters of
these games surpass those of many popular
fiction novels and feature films and non-stop
plot twists and character development can
keep a player glued to the video games for
hours on end.
The legacy of Squaresoft’s incredible and
revolutionary games is the downfall of Final
Fantasy VIII. The game does not live up to
Squaresoft producing years of hit after hit.
The graphics for Final Fantasy VIII are
mindblowing, the sound and game play top-
notch, but the story and characters are flat, un
original and uninteresting. The game also
drags, with little of the intensity found in previ
ous Squaresoft titles except for a few intense
and very well-done action sequences.
Another downfall is the “Junction" system,
which replaces past magic and armor systems
is a pain to learn. There are no magic points or
armor. Spells are simply stolen from enemies
and stored. Summon spells can be used many
times each fight and are replenished after
every fight, taking all strategy out of fighting
and making battles nothing but long drawn-
out animation sequence — some summon-
spell animations last up to five minutes.
The largest mistake by Squaresoft was mak
ing Final Fantasy VIII a love story. Who in
their right mind wants to play a 50-hour love
story? Final Fantasy VIII is a fun game to play
but falls flat in many areas that make a
game great. Fans of the series willstillt
but they will have to wait for Final Feu
for anything near the quality' and the
of Final Fantasy VII. (Grade: B + )
