Any time I get an RPG for Random Game Wednesdays, I feel a little bit of dread. I typically only play about half an hour of a game before writing about it for these posts, and that’s not a lot of time to get a good feel for them. Thankfully, I’m pretty familiar with Final Fantasy VIII. It’s actually always been one of my favorites in the series, however it’s also a game that came out when I was in middle school. Considering how much criticism the game gets, it’s definitely possible that my love for it is mostly nostalgia. But hey, let’s take a look at the beginning of Final Fantasy VIII and see what I think about it.
