Description
Final Fantasy VIII, the second Final Fantasy game on the PlayStation,
expands upon its predecessor in many ways. The core development staff
remains, with Hironobu Sakaguchi producing, Nobuo Uematsu composing and
arranging the score, and Tetsuya Nomura providing the character
designs. The main story revolves around Squall Leonhart, a young member
of the military group SeeD, who must begin a dangerous mission against
an evil witch, Edea. Along the way, he meets Rinoa Heartilly, a young
girl on her own mission. The battle system focuses around Junctioning,
a Guardian Force to your character, and the skill of assigning
abilities. The Guardian Forces are the popular Summon creatures found
in previous games. Magic is used by drawing it from the opponent, then
storing it for later use. The graphics are fully 3D in battle, though
the backgrounds everywhere else are pre-rendered. The game features
over an hour of FMV and fills four discs.
