I bought the PC version of this game, but there's not difference between the two story wise. The only real difference is that the optional mini game Chocobo World is easier to use on the PC since you don't have to buy a pocketstation. However, that doesn't take away the fact that this is a truly great game to play. If you pay close attention from the beggining, you'll have a great time meeting all the characters and seeing all the sights or the FFVIII's world. The characters are believable and easy to relate to, the graphics, while somewhat dismal on the world wap, are quite excellent once you go into certain areas like Balamb garden or the Shumi Village. The music is also quite entertaining, there's something for everyone in this game. Those who say that this game is either boring or makes no sense was probably not paying much attention while playing. The random battles can be tuned down if you spend the time to figure out how. If you are looking for a great game with a great story, you can't go wrong with Final Fantasy VIII.
