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

I agree, many fond memorys of both VII and VIII - i'm sorta nervous about the upcoming Advent Children movie ruining it all for me.

90 minutes really can't do FF justice, they should do a TV series.

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.

You're all mad. VIII was very poor in comparison to VII. The 'balance' of the combat was all wrong.

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!

They should make it so you can ignore threads that you never want to see again.
