Although far from the first game I played, my favourite game has to be Final Fantasy 8 I think it came at just the right time in my youth when I was a young teen and to me, it got everything right The battles, the enemies, the story though a bit iffy was mostly solid, the personality of the characters, the arts style, the different environments and the drama, this game changed everything for me as it grabbed at my soul and squeezed emotion from my every pore I'm not going to write a review about it lol but I absolutely seen FF8 as some next level shit that only a lucky group of gamers played and appreciated. It pushed the boat out for me and apart from the Last of Us it's hard to get that same type of emotion now days If you guys never got to play this game I suggest at some point you set aside some time and play this game from an age where gaming mattered, where the developers actually tried to sell their games and was the reason we all played If i had to choose 1 word to describe it, I don't think I can. It's just one of those things you need to play to appreciate
