@shadowgear's review of Final Fantasy VIII
★★★★
My favorite videogame of all time. After completing another run through it what do I think? Wail regarded as the black sheep it's still one of the best games in the series and on PS1. The world is interesting the combat is fun and Triple Triad the card minigame is not only addicting but can be used to make your party stronger as well. The junction system isn't eveyones cup of tea but it is interesting using magic as your armor in this game and once you know it well enough you can easily break this game in two. This game is not without flaws though. Certain parts of the story aren't as fleshed out as they could be and wail the main villain is good thematically they arent on the same level as someone like Sephorith or Kefka. Magic being a consumable as well means that summon Magic is more reliable early until you build up your stock but as you get later in the game it's actually not that hard to get any spell you want through GF abilities. There's also the fact that enemies will level up with you so AP is far more important to grind for then EXP in this entry. Overall this is a soild entry that dose way more right then it dose wrong and recommend fans try at least once.
