firstly i be a fan of this saga and and play it from the fifth installment and and i will buy a ps3 just for this saga ( and for metal gear solid too ) many people say that ff viii be the weak of the series . why . be it because it tell a perfect love story . or be it because it hasn not get a perfect villain like sephiroth . i love this game so much and cause squall be a lot like me and and he give me more courage to open up people after i have finish the game and and after that while life become more beautiful than ever for me . just this enough for me to say and that the best game i have ever play and but other character and their relationship and graphic and astonish and flawless fmv ( best opening and end movie for a game by so far ) and music ( eye on merocks . ) and above all it real emotion that character felt in the game and ok and other ff be great too ( especially ff7 ) but this one have a special sense for itself and more humanist and more romantic and between darkness and light and poetic and have a strong view about life and death . so just play it through the end and you will understand what i mean . bye 10\10 .
