Final Fantasy VIII

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. You play Squall Leonhart, a student at Balamb Garden who trains to become a SeeD mercenary. You draw magic from enemies and from draw points, store it, and junction it to stats such as strength and defense. Guardian Forces, the game's summons, level up and give characters abilities. Characters can use Limit Breaks in battle. Enemies level up along with the party. Triple Triad is a card game that you can play with characters around the world.
