Final Fantasy VIII

Sharp & FocusedStrategySolo5h+

You're immersed in a deep tactical experience where every decision about magic collection and character junctions shapes your approach to combat. The deliberate, system-heavy gameplay pulls you into long sessions of strategic planning and experimentation.

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.
