final fantasy viii be probably the most underrated of all the final fantasy game . it have the unfortunate luck of follow vii and which be the first title in the series to be create in a 3d style on the playstation . while ff8 do have it drawback and it still a good game than ff7 in a lot of way . the combat system be more interesting and and allow a deep level of character customization . this be the only game in the series that require you to draw magic spell from your opponent in order to use them . the graphic be understandably well and be a late installment and but the level of difference between ff7 cartoony and exaggerated character and ff8 more realistic look be astound . speaking of the character and there be a much deep level of complexity to them than find in ff7 . throughout the game and we see into squall thought . while he the protagonist and it obvious right off the bat that he not the most likeable guy in the world . he doesn not really care about be a hero or do the right thing like cloud in ff7 . he just want to be leave alone . none of them be as simplistic a barret and who look and talk like mr. t with a gattling gun for an arm and a chip on his shoulder . the level of the story be much more personal . perhaps too personal for a lot of player taste and a it focus primarily on the relationship between squall and rinoa . the world be at stake and but at the same time and there something much more personal about it . ff7 will always have it place a a favorite of the final fantasy series by many player and but for the reason state above and as well a some others that i might not have think to mention and i feel that ff8 be actually the good game and and be vastly underappreciated by the audience of rpg player .
