• Final Fantasy VIII is released in Japan Februari 11

• Final Fantasy VIII is on four discs

• In Final Fantasy VIII, you will be able to buy vehicles

• You will meet Biggs and Wedge in the begining. Unfortunally, you�ll have to kill�em after 30 minutes.How sad...

• There won�t be any treasure-boxes in this game

• When you have completed half the game, you�ll be able to travel to other planets with Ragnarok

• There will be some kinda card-battle in the game. If you press the square-button instead of the X-button when you stand in front of a person (he/she must have cards, as do you) you and that person will have a card-battle. The person who has the highest card wins. To get cards, you�ll have to fight monsters, win card-battles and I�m sure there will be a lot more.

  
  

This beaty begins (at least the demo does) with the coolest CG-movie I have ever seen. You see an ocean, where the big moon reflects itselfs. You see smal things on the water, crossing the moon. The FF8-demo logo shows up, and then you�ll see what those thins on the water was: Six-seven water-vessels. On one of them stands our hero, Squall Leonheart, and watching out over the ocean. When you see him the first time, you think he is a real SeeD-mercynary. The facts is, he is only a SeeD-trainer. Squall, Rinoa Heartilly and Zell Dincht have the mission to secure the Central Square from Galbadia-soldiers, while the SeeD-soldiers take back the Satelite Tower. There squad-leader is Seifer(Real SeeD), who is supposed to have a big role in this game.The next things thar happens is a little hard to describe (I�m Swedish, y�know), but I�ll try. They lands on a island, where you take control over Squall, Rinoa and Zell (I don�t really like Seifer. He never helps you. Well the demo is really easy...) I won�t tell you anything more now, beacuse if you haven�t played the demo yet, I�m sure you will sometime, and then you don�t want to know what will happen. The bad guy (I think) in this game, is the witch Edea (or Idea).I don�t know much about her, but I think Seifer has something to do with her.
One other person to notise is Laguna Loire, a former mercynary, now a journalist (I think). Laguna is supposed to be the owner of Ragnarok, a really cool space-ship.
Cid is also back. Now, he is a teacher at Balamb Garden. I don�t think he�ll be a playable character, but there�s alwas hope...
Chocobo is of course back too. One creature that I don�t recognize is Mumba. He looks cool anyway.
This game looks like the best ever. Unfortunally it is realesed in USA in September or something like that :( And it�s realesed in Japan Februari 11. Shame Square. Well, after all those masterprises (FF 1-7 and Tactics, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and a lot of others) I can forgive them. Square is the greatest.
