After the very popular Final Fantasy VII, this game was definately looked forward to by RPG games all over. Final Fantasy VIII brings together a great cast of characters, a great story/plot, and some of the best graphics on a playstation game. While the magic system is a little different in this game, compared to the original Final Fantasy, and even Final Fantasy VII with the materia. Final Fantasy VIII will definately keep you hooked on the game until you are finished.
