Starting FF8

Again, "uh..." (and I'm using this word out of spite) why are you playing this game!? There are so many RPGs that are far more superior. This game has zero character development, the story line sucks, and the game is very boring overall, with the exception of the last few hours of each disc. The characters were drawn and created by some goof, that square hired because the original artist from all games Final Fantasy was still livin' it up from his work on Final Fantasy Tactics. The music, was done by some other goof, that was horribly rushed. The theme song sucked. And don't let me start talking about what poor character development Squall had. And he's the main character. Squall was a straight up pussy. How can someone like him, compete with the likes of Kain, or Cecil from Final Fantasy II, or Shadow and Locke from Final Fantasy III, or even Barrett and Cloud from Final Fantasy VII? And Cloud was a bitch. These characters actually had development that went along with the 30 plus hours of gameplay. When Aeris died, we cared, because she had story development. From the beginning Squall appeared to be a bitch ass pussy to me, right from the introduction when Seifer put a gash in his face. Oh, and let's not forget about Rydia from Final Fantasy II, you know, the girl with the green hair that pretty much fucked up the world. Or did you even play that game? Are you just one of those trending gamers that only plays games that have great graphics, lots of cut scenes and an awesome commercial? The truth is you don't know, you're just an average, moderate gamer, that played and enjoyed Final Fantasy VIII because it carried the Final Fantasy title. This game was trash, and for many very good reasons.

Further more, I can't believe anyone would use a strategy guide for any game. Unless you are extremely stuck, strategy guides are for loser, and pussies. A real gamer definitely would not use a guide to "help" them through the game. If anything they're good for showing you what goodies you missed the first time you played the game.
