Simply a Classic.

The Story is gorgeously fascinating! Though it's graphics were mindblowing back in the early 2000's, It would turn the new generation off nowadays. However Final Fantasy VIII is something I know everybody should be able to experience at least once in their life. FFVIII was the first Final Fantasy I've ever played as a kid and until now it is still the best Final Fantasy in my opinion. Please note that I have only played VII, VIII and IX in Play Station 1.
