ah, who could forget the beloved Squall and his gunblade. This Final Fantasy game made use of the better graphic qualities given to them in their time. Its unique assortment of charaters, impressive movies, and spectacular summons make it a spectacular addition to any Final Fantasy collection. The low-polygon characters of FFVII are gone, replaced with realistic high-polygon models that only look better the closer they get. If you're one of those who thought the angled boxes that Cloud used for hands in FFVII, not to mention the positively lethal spikes that stuck off his head to represent hair were good, then FFVIII's cast of Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, Zell and the rest will be a sheer delight. Although the entire magic system is completely different from what you're used to, and mostly this is to the good. Instead of characters gaining spells as they increase in experience, they can simply "draw" spells from enemies, so any character can cast just about any spell. In fact, spells can be collected and shared among characters, and there's no such thing as magic points -- you just run out of a given spell and have to find the right creature to draw more from.

Top 5 Reasons to buy this game:

1. Squall
2. Gunblade
3. Graphics
4. High polygon graphics
5. Lovely storyline.
