Although there are quite a few people out there who think that FF8 isn't quite right, compared to the previous seven, this RPG is amazing graphics-wise, amazing gameplay-wise, amazing story-wise, and amazing in every other way. There are a few deviations from the traditional Final Fantasy line, but if you're new to video games or RPGs this won't hamper you a bit. If you've played them all, then you know that FF7 was just as deviant. This instalment has deep characters, a wonderfully great and twisted plot, and will absorb you for weeks on end. Squaresoft has made this one a trend-setter, just like every Final Fantasy before it. If you only play one RPG this millenium, make it this one. Unless, of course, Final Fantasy IX is out.
