Review: Final Fantasy VIII

My thanks to everyone who showed interest in this review. Thanks to you, this review was featured on n4g.com as a 'hot' article. I never expected that. Maybe people are interested in Final Fantasy VIII now because it was created by some of the people who made XV (IIRC).

All I can say is, you're going to have a blast with this game. It's my favorite Final Fantasy, despite the Junction system not working that well because of the fact that you need to grind for magic. And the magic also being used for magic attacks kind of clashes with that. The Junction system is also exploitable, sure, but if you play this game seriously and don't actively try to break the game, it's absolutely fine!

VIII has gotten a lot of undeserved criticism. And remember, a 7/10 is a good score! A 5/10 is an average game, 7/10 is just shy from 'great'. So by all means, try this game out.
