[quote=Konradude]I argee, but I loved the storyline and even now the competitive graphics. FF8 will always be my number one final fantasy game though.[/quote]
Damn, you've got me fighting within myself as to whether FF7 or FF8 was better again.
I agree with you on the story and graphics, they were nice, but Tidus just ruined FF10 for me. The voice acting, while pretty competent, wasn't my cup of tea either (I'd rather have no voices at all). Maybe they should have made Kimahri the hero, he was cool

.
Argh! Can't decide whether FF7 or FF8 was better, so I'll divide it up into sections.
Hero - Squall versus Cloud. Tough one, but I think Squall gets my vote since I really identify with his whole unsociable thing.
Other characters - Not sure. Maybe FF7 since Barrett was so damned funky.
Baddies - Can anyone beat Sephiroth? Don't think so. Some of the Shinra guys were pretty funny too.
World - FF7's world was a little more appealling to me. FF8 was a bit too westernised, and I loved Midgar.
Combat - FF8 came down to junctioning the best magics to attack and then owning people, while FF7 actually needed each person to have different configurations, so FF7 wins.
Story - Both good. The mystery surrounding Cloud was awesome, but the whole story behind Squall and his crew was interesting too. A tie.
In conclusion, I think FF7 wins in my book. Now why the hell have I just wasted all that time comparing those two games? *sigh*
