In my opinion FF8 is the greatest FF made.
Why you may ask?
The game puts fourth an amazing effort to try and capture realism and futureistic things at the same time.
Putting you in the shoes of sqall, a normal kid with amazing strength and potential.
This game changed the way rpg's were, adding a junction system, giving you *MULTIPLE* ways of getting your guy to that next lvl. (also junctuioning magic to a wepon, like blind and sleep, could be useful to lvl up faster

).
The graphics were a total change from 7 to 8.
People could actually understand what the FFVIII storyline ment.
With a full ammount of action, love, confusion and happiness, it was like it's own movie but playable.
I don't feel like giving any more details at the moment -.-.
