Looks like it's no longer available - Amazon UK is the only place I found it listed, and they say it's currently unavailable.

You can still find it at unpopular stores, and overstocked and expensive e-tailers. But it's been out of print for a couple of years now, don't get your hopes up.

luke: It is hidden in a bay of one of the smaller islands west of the lighthouse. Just try to follow the coastline of every single island and you should be able to find it.

Yes and no.

It's not the FMV, but if the disc gets scratched it seems to destroy the quality of the game. Opening up your PS/PS2 and closing it again will skip the FMV, but if it doesn't load into the game, you're better off looking for a new copy of the game... disc repair kits don't seem to work so well on FF games.

Sorry.

FF8 might be a good game.. but i can even say that ff7 is loads better! it got a better story and its simple, what else can you ask for it? well, graphic.. FF8 is one one my dissapointed game, it futures to much about Squall and Rinoa. After this talk i woul say, a good game but to far dissapointing! Well just one more thing, i was piloting the airship! After a minute i somehow wanted to save the game, i landed on the grond and saved, after that i realised that i could'nt move.. i was stuck on a litte edge of a cliff!!! I was on the third disc!! That made me stop playing FF8! I hate that!!

The final fantasy 8 is the best game of this kind, has very good graphs and is very entertaining though with difficult parts in which it is necessary to look for things and it take time. This game is 10 points.

Gotta agree with you. I think FF8 is probably my favourite. Though it was a bit of a bumpy ride, by the time of the big battle between (spoiler!) and (Another Spoiler!)I was thoroughly involved.

FF9 was kind of the opposite - I thougt it was fantastic all through disc 1 but then it just kind of started to take bizarre plot twists for no logical reason, not to mention eliminating the biggest problem of the world with no build up or follow up. It did improve towards the end, but it's the first FF I ever stopped playing in favour of another game; In this case, Skies of Arcadia which totally kicked its arse!

um, yeah. despite all the bitching, ffviii remains my favourite ff game so far. maybe because it was the first game i bought when i got my PsOne so i'm a bit sentimental, but i really got into the story and characters etc. haven't replayed it though, it took me 120+ hours to finish (um.. i got a bit lost and forgot what i was supposed to do..) over a few months playing on and off

such a shame the PC version was a lazy port - if they'd of re-rendered the backgrounds and FMV to a higher resolution (800x600 would of been the norm for the time) it would of had a big selling point for fans of the original PSX version.

Your forgetting that the PC version did have re-rendered video, which was much better than the PSX version (640x480 I think) and you got chocobo world as well, which was the only sensible way to play it in Europe. Not a great port by any means, but not terrible, and miles better than the job they did on VII.

I have beaten all the FF's thus far in the series and i think that they are all classics the one's that stuck out the most are US III ( Jap 6) VII and IX I think that VIII was ok but what I didn't like was that it was too scifi BUT...... other than that it was great I can't wait for 12 woooohooo!

I recorded myself killing ultimacia and i did the limit break for squall you know the rare one, i think it's lionheart.

and i'm so plaeased i got it on video because i've never done that limit break before but when i pressed record BAM! i do it.

I never beat him either, but I never tried

Apparently Ozma (?) in FF9 is meant to be the hardest FF boss, but I've never fought him either, so I wouln't know.

Just for the record, I have killed all of the Weapons in 7 though.

I love FF8, I think it was/is very unfairly critised........It holds some of my fondest memories of my videogaming life.

I wouldn't mind people dissing it as I love it and thats all thats matters, but I Just hope no one has opted againts playing it due too listening to brainless dolts.

Well put, Medulla. FFVIII is the best of the series I reckon. The story is just so absorbing, much more so than any of the others IMO.

This remains probably my fave game of all time today, and I'm not embarassed to admit that. Truly epic stuff no one should miss out on.

on PS1? coz if it is then it's either your Disc or your PS1(most likely the disc)

If it's PC then it could be a number of things

Fuckin' hell... Just buy the game, will ya? It isn't expensive! You can probably get it on the Playstation for less than a tenner in just about any game shop.

FF7 had no romance? You must have missed the burning sexual tension between Cloud and Vincent then, boyo.

Or perhaps I've been reading too many fanfics.

"Cloud longingly unwrapped layer after layer of Vincent's clothing, desperate to feel the warmth of his..."

Nope, FFVII was badly translated and had a lot of plotholes. FFVIII was a lot more straightforward, had better, more believable characters and was much prettier. Plus, why does a bit of romance in a game have to be a bad thing? There was a romantic angle in FFVII, but no one ever complains about that, do they?

Sigh.. why am I even bothering here?

lol @ this thread.

FF8 had the best card game ever.

And the whole Laguna & Co. dealie was awesome.

Not to mention it had some great art.

I got it just fine, but that doesn't change the fact there were more than a couple of plot points which either made little sense or just weren't explained satisfactorily enough.

Possibly a side effect of the piss poor translation, I don't know.

Come on though, are you saying you were COMPLETELY satisfied with the whole thing? I wasn't.

Tengu are you a FFVIII fanboy?
I am.

Man the scene when you first enter Ragnarok after killing the 3 pairs of the mobs (eyes on me) and the whole space thing was hilarius.

Me: Boss can I leave 3 hours earlier today?
Boss: Hell no, why?
Me: I have to save Rinoa for the 20nd time.
B: Wtf is she?
Me: Nevermind.

Must. Play. Again. Now.
