About Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy VIII is an adventure and Card & Board Game game developed by Square Product Development Division 1 and published by Square, released on 11 February 1999.

Of the RAWG players who own Final Fantasy VIII, 25% have finished it and 8% dropped it.

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.
