One of the best games ever, and it even has a prequel that just came out today called Crisis Core for the PSP. If only there were as much fans of it where I live as there is elsewhere...
Classmate: "Hey Teevo, have you been playing any Halo 3?"
Me: "No, I've been playing Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core"
Classmate: "What? Hmm, never heard of it. Sounds like an unknown game series."
Me: "No one here understands how good the Final Fantasy franchise is!"

Get the Final Fantasy VII mug.This game is kick ass. This game took normal RPGS and said fuck you, and singlehandedly did everything better, launching Sony from “eh it’s cool I guess” to “holy balls”. Cloud makes man and women pass out with a single glazed look, Barrett has a cool gun or smth, everyone thought tifa had some honkers, even though they were pointy af, yuffie was pretty cool, valentine did what cloud did but better, sepiroth did what Valentine did and did it better. It has a petty good story, and solid gameplay, and is also not just for nerds.
Guy 1: the buster sword from Final Fantasy VII is just an unrealistic sword
Guy 2: your lesbian mother saw that sword and instantly got impregnated stfu

Get the Final Fantasy VII mug.In the holy canon of role playing games, Final Fantasy VIII remains the single greatest achievement of the creative mind.
Recently surpassing Final Fantasy VII in sales and popularity, Final Fantasy 8 set a record for the most copies sold and the most fan fiction created of a single video game. In fact, the fanbase of Final Fantasy VIII is gigantic and it is the number one game upon which "cosplay" is based off.
Although some resentment is felt by fans of the previous installment in the series(Final Fantasy 7), it is only because of the overwhelming clash Final Fantasy 8 has on traditional RPG's. The music alone in the game is enough to skyrocket the creation into the record books, but only when it is combined with the greatest storyline ever imagined is this game worthy to be called a masterpiece.
The gameplay is fantastic, actively encouraging new and innovative uses for magic, while developing the history of the six main characters in concert with the plot progression. Squall, Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, Quistis, and Zell are the six main playable persons in the game, each having unique "junctioning" abilities which allows the gamer to personalize and rearrange character abilities to his/her style.
Asides from being the greatest financial success Squaresoft (now "Square Enix") has ever produced, Final Fantasy 8 remains the true definition of fantasy and fiction.

This is the ACTUAL (more or less) conversation between me and an Electronics Boutique employee at my local store (this is before I knew how great Final Fantasy 8 was):
Me: Hey, what Final Fantasy do you recommend?
EB Employee: Well, the best one is Final Fantasy VIII, so I'd go with that if you're just getting into the series.
Me: One of my friends is playing Final Fantasy 7 and says it's not bad either.
EB Employee: No offense, but your friend is on crack. That is the worst Final Fantasy there is. Just get 8 man, I guarantee it.
Me: <lol> Cool, thanks.

Get the Final Fantasy VIII mug.Pigheaded, ignorant sheep-minded fools who refuse to admit that games have improved in the decade since Final Fantasy VII was released. Worship an overhyped video game because it is fashionable to do so. Also tend to target Final Fantasy VI and VIII as the popularity driven trend of hate.
Any attempt to improve or advance the stale, trite formula of: "Stand in a line, pick fight/magic/Item from a menu and wait.
-Or, moving past interface/designs that only existed due to hardware limitations-
are met with fear, irrational rage, insults and a refusal to accept change or improvement.
Immune to logic, common sense, counter arguments or objective, even handed thought.

Final Fantasy VII fankids want Final Fantasy VII over and over with graphical improvements only. They are also arrogant enough to define the entire series by superficial means like "being turn-based".
Nothing will ever be good enough because they don't want it to be and don't care how ignorant and stupid they look.

Get the Final Fantasy VII Fankids mug.The greatest video game that has ever been made. If you would like to be introduced to Final Fantasy, or to the Role Playing Game overall, Final Fantasy VIII is the place to start. With its stunning graphics and unparralleled storyline, Final Fantasy 8 takes you on an adventure of a lifetime. Whatever you do, play this game!! It will brighten your mood, lift your spirits, and improve your life!!!
Although some bitter Final Fantasy 7-gamers tend to bad-mouth Final Fantasy 8 because they are annoyed that it surpassed 7 in every area, it is actually the greatest Final Fantasy in the series. Final Fantasy VIII forever!

Get the Final Fantasy VIII mug.Despite attaining critical acclaim from many, FF8 might be the most underrated game in the series. Probably due to the large hole it needed to fill by following up on FF7.
