Final Fantasy VIII
"Final Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series."
Final Fantasy VIII is the eighth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The gameplay makes a departure from many series standards. While it still uses the Active Time Battle system, it deviates from the series' traditional means of boosting a character's power via leveling, although levels are not completely abandoned as they were in Final Fantasy II. In addition, it does not have a Magic Point-based system for spell-casting. Instead, magic is collected, drawn, and created from items, and is used to power up the characters via the junction system.
Released 11 February 1999 for PlayStation, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable by Square Product Development Division 1, published by Square and Square Electronic Arts. Rated M by ACB, T by ESRB. About 52.5 hours to beat, 90 hours for everything.
