Final Fantasy 8 is an epic battle between good versus evil, as is the main protocol of all the storylines within the FF realm, this one, however; goes a little beyond. Our hero is withdrawn, he doesn't want to be a hero and his moody, cold exterior is something we can all generally identify with. FF8 takes us into a futuristic atmosphere, something I found rather appealing, and though may will argue that this game is hardly worthy of the title "Final Fantasy" I wholeheartedly disagree. I may not like it as much as 7 or the newly released 9, but it has it's own style and replayability to it.
