I was really excited about getting FF8 because I had just finished FF7. I oohed and aahed at the fancy opening and played it for a while. A little while into it I asked myself "What the heck is this? " There was no plot! It was all fancy graphics and cool attacks! All the characters were flat and boring and the game itself was just not interesting! I was really expecting a lot from FF8- I wanted it to be twice as good as FF7 and I was totally disappointed! I kept playing it anyway just in case it actually got good and it only got worse! Square should be ashamed of themselves!
