This is another name for Final Fantasy 8... so given due the 8's broken-ass Junction system, broken-ass limit break system, and lackluster cast. The entire game can be beaten by leaving your group with low health and spamming limit breaks over and over and over until you defeat the last form of the final boss... that's it! That's the only strategy you will ever need to play it! The characters don't even get any equipment in this one, just different weapons... everything is handled, rather omnipotently, by the Junction system, so you don't even have to think.
Never mind the fact that the game is first set at a school, who the fuck thought that would be a good idea? Sort of defeats the purpose of cutting class to play it, I might add.
It's only redeeming quality was that if you decided to see it through to the end, men in white coats would come, sent by the government, to take you some place special. Anyone who defends FF8 on a message board needs to be immediately reminded that the worst sniper in the whole world becomes your strongest party member apart from the hero, and then bitchslapped across the face with the strategy guide they got suckered into buying.
Me: Hey dude, you like the FF series, you tried Final Fantasy Crap?
Dude: Which one are you referring to? Because if you say six I will beat the shit out of you.
Me: Haha... Fucking eight, of course... it was worse than playing Legend of Dragoon twice!

Video game that doesn't focus on gameplay, but storyline.
A storyline that consists of a lot of devices that don't change the plot.
And plot irrelevant characters, Yuffie and Vincent.
If you want a story, read a book or comic.
If you want a video game, play a NES game.

A game considered the best by mainstream RPG gamers due to it's "maturity" by mentioning things such as death, religion, and love.
In truth though, it is not that great. It it just another game that was overhyped by American otaku in an attempt to seem more japanese.
Aeris (Aerith) died... get over it.

It's simply a magical series, the games are touching (mainly VII,VIII,IX,X/X-2) and the stories stay in our hearts forever because of that. My favourites are Vincent, sephiroth, squall, tidus, auron, basch, among others. Oh, and rikku is just amazingly cute, i'm in love forever!!
Final Fantasy series, I cried in FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX and FFX-2, just amazing, FFXII was a let down thought... :/

While it was certainly an influential game, the transition from 2D to 3D did nothing in terms of gameplay for the Final Fantasy series in VII. Final Fantasy VII literally rehashed the gameplay from Final Fantasy VI and added the extremely novel and worthless materia system to try and make the gameplay look less cut and pasted, yet anyone that had played Final Fantasy VI beforehand could see what a shameless copy VII was. Many other game series that had moved from 2D to 3D had retained the classic 2D gameplay feel while actually getting significant gameplay changes from moving into 3D which made them feel fresh (e.g Zelda and Ocarina of Time). Since Final Fantasy VII changed nothing gameplay-wise when moving into 3D, the gameplay ultimately felt stale to those who had played previous Final Fantasies.
The presentational values VII introduced were excellent but the complete lack of any real gameplay evolution was largely disappointing for fans of the series who had played previous installments. Unfortunately VII is overrated for the fact many people had never played a JRPG before in their life (as they were mostly popular in Japan until that point). Many people were unaware of how its gameplay had no significant changes in the transition from 2D to 3D and how the games only redeeming factor was the presentation.
A disappointing game all in all.
FFVII Fanboy: FINAL FANTASY VII IS DA BEST FINAL FANTASY EVAR!
Person: What significant gameplay additions did it make over Final Fantasy VI?
FFVII Fanboy: IT ADDED TEH UMVS AND TEH COOL CLOUD AND SEPHIROTH!!!
Person: No what I mean is "gameplay", you know the bits you actually play, not what you watch. You know, most of us buy games to play them.

Despite the misleading name, this internet forum is not a place where people come to discuss Final Fantasy. Members here instead discuss pressing topics such as "What is your action against cruelty?" and "Can we change the name of the site to Final Fantasy Patrick?". An excellent place to discuss games on Nintendo systems.

So metrosexual.
Final Fantasy XIII - The FF that I'll be GLAD to not play.
Dude 1 : Did you see that awesome new protagonist Lightning? Isn't she hot?
Dude 2 : No, it's fucking cloud with some pink hair and boobs.
Dude 1 : They're reintroducing another black guy! Like Barret! Isn't that cool?
Dude 2 : It would be, if he weren't wearing lime.
Dude 1 : That Snow Villiers is such a badass.
Dude 2 : I didn't know that all you had to do to be a badass was dress like a buccaneer outcast.
Dude 1 : Hope Estheim kinda reminds me of myself.
Dude 2 : Really? You look girly and gay? Do you wear makeup too?
Dude 1 : Who designed these 'awesome' characters?
Dude 2 : Nomura, but if you ask me, I think that they should bring back Amano.
