The whole reason I own the game is because at some point I am going to want to replay it; but right now my backlog is ten games, all released within the last four years (the oldest being the 2003 Beyond Good and Evil). If I get the time to go old-school, 7 is probably at the tops of my list (unless I manage to snag the Lunar games again for reasonable prices). And yes, I was not happy about it being $35, but it was much better than $90. And this is my own damn fault for not having foresight etc etc I'm beating myself up over stuff that's mostly beyond my control. Just thought I'd share that I kind of made one of my personal goals for the year. Please don’t jump on people over a typo. kthx

I've had the same problem....The initial sequence (which made up the demo) is great, but after that the game just kind of drags for too long. That drag (use of a bad pun acknowledged) has kept me from playing it again in quite a while. The puzzles and things were OK the first time through, but now they just take too much time. The game doesn't really get going until you get to the overworld. I wouldn’t give 50 cents for FF VIII, but I would pay for FF VII- If I didn’t already own it in several formats.

Jiminy christmas, I'd never spend over 20 on that game, and that's just the top of the edge... I'd look for like 15. Still, I suppose it is partly to do with the fact that major retail isn't carrying PS1 now... it used to at one time still do so. But 35, wow. If you're going to spend 35 on it, I'd replay it at the LEAST. Are you telling me that Final Fantasy VIII has a rarity that justifies $35 dollars?
