the final fantasy series be never one of my favorite thing to play . but when final fantasy vii hit the playstation and i be addict . but a few year later and when final fantasy viii come to american shore and i piked it up and i be blow away . it be just awesome and the graphic to the storyline and even the music . the game be everything i want in an rpg . a must own for fan of genre . even though most people want the ff series to go back to their root and take out the modern edge and i personally enjoy the fact that it be somewhat modern . it easy to relate with .
