Reviews
I've been waiting for this to come out to get as a keepsake, as these games were the heart of my childhood. Overall it's a great Volume, especially for fans of VII and IX. For a fan like me however, who likes those two games, but love VIII, I feel like we drew the short straw yet again. Both 7 and 9 have tons of info like character sketches at different stages, and other tidbits of info that are completely omitted from 8, and as a fan that's disheartening.If you are buying this as a solid fan of FF VIII, just be aware that compared to the other two sections, there isn't that much material by comparison. They could have and should have included more, where 8 is concerned, and gone more in depth like they did with the others. As it stands, I feel that particular section just got a very bare bones inclusion.Shipping wise mine arrived in pristine condition with no dents or dings. Great quality paper and printing. Included a few pics as a sample.
