Final Fantasy 8 is about Squall Leonhart and his companions as they become a part of a struggle to stop evil from destroying the planet. The graphics was great and looking better than Final Fantasy 7. The sound was awesome. The leveling up system is the same where you fight and level up, but a new junction system is introduced for enhancing the character's statuses. For my opinion the junction system is annoying and helpful in a way, but you will see what I am talking about when you play the game. The story is great and will make you dwell in it. So get this game and you will enjoy it.
