Final Fantasy 8 was one of the best games when it was released and still is widly played. It steller graphics was the best one in the series until the release of 9 and 10. It brought The RPG gamer to a new world of playing. The junction system was the biggest downfall to the game. Certain magic raised attributes higher than others, but you could not carry every kind of magic with just one player. Having to keep a higgh supply of the magic the increase the attributes of the characters turned out to be a constant pain. The hidden drawpoints hold powerful magic spells that any gamer would need to survive. Final Fantasy 8 brought not really the best summon graphics, but the best summons to see. Seeing Odin crush enemies across the plains with his sword was nice to see. Eden summon was by far the best. The best part of the summons was the ability to boost them which with Eden will get you around 40,000 damage done to the enemy. Being able to make every characters ultimate weapon was better than having to search them. To level up quickly go To the Island of Hell with Quistis. Use her her Degenerator to vaporize the toughest of monsters. The card game was a neat mini-game to play but doing the Card Queen Quest took a lot of time. The House where you fight all the bosses toward the end of the game can be confusing, and deciding what ability to unlock after winning each boss fight can be quite nerve racking at times. Fighting Omega Weapon is a challange of the best of gamers. Unless you have Squall's Lion Heart Limit Break do not even attempt to fight it.
