 Fun to start, quickly becomes repetitive and boring...
First of all, I love Final Fantasy games.. I played FF7 TWICE through, taking up a good 200+ hours of my life. FF8 doesn't deserve to be called a Final Fantasy.. the main character is so colorless and dull that by the end of the game you just have a bitter taste in your mouth. I mean, talk about going overboard with the "Strong, Silent Type" personality. Also somewhere about Disc 3, I begun to realize that the game is incredibly easy if you just keep using GF's.. The bottom line is: why would I use a physical attack for 100 damage, or use magic for 300, when I can GF Shiva and hit for 9999? GFs are long, boring, and with Boost hurts your fingers. Even if I spent the time/resources to upgrade my weapons, what is the point since Shiva hits for 9999 by disc 3? Blah blah lionheart rules... Omnislash ripoff. Squall sucks. Random encounters are just as long as boss battles since GFs finish them just as quickly. This tends to make them INCREDIBLY BORING and POINTLESS. Awful battle system, EXTREMELY BLAND HERO (I hate squall!), the only thing that gives it 2 stars are the intro and ending movies.

 The day Final Fantasy died.
Unoriginal, tedious, and never ending this game ties in the element of romance by putting two characters, polar opposites to each other, and watches as the love between them fluorishes... for four long and boring discs. The battle system and junctioning were innovative for the series, but everything else. You know, graphics can't make up for a crappy plot. Then again, if it wasn't for the graphics, the game probably would have been longer... Having stupid plot twists (SPOILER: "Wow, we are a childhood friends. Why didn't any of us remember that?") and an obvious love story don't make a game good. The game is so poorly organized that you still are getting tutorials on how to use the junctioning system on the 3rd disc. THE 3RD DISC! The game is halfway over, and they're still explaining how to use the game to you. On top of the main plot being boring, because it was short and had no substance to it, the through in a sub plot where you play as Laguna and his lackies and follow his story for no reason. The game could have been a lot better if it was thrown off of a building and hit by however many cars I can drive at once.
