God Bless,

Hello, one and all! 

Our core page, The Character World, is having it's first Geek Week, starting on Monday (Sep 28) and since I am a devout video game fan, I shall be doing a few game related articles. The main place to witness the show will naturally be TCW's official blog, so if you're interested in the full deal, please be checking in on it frequently this coming week! I have many exciting things to geek out about in store, so you won't wanna miss it! :) But all the same, I will be relaying the game related articles back to here.

Thank you for your interest in our relatively new site and I hope you stick around for this coming week!

God Bless,

Pleased to meet you, FF8..

After finishing FF7 (the greatest achievement of my time, to be honest), I almost immediately moved right on to FF8. It took me awhile to get used to the characters, story and set-up and everything after playing such an amazing predecessor. By disc 2, I still loved FF7 much, much more, but the game slowly started to grow on me. Mainly due to the characters having their stories built and a few interesting twists started popping up here and there. Now I have grown a love for the game and it's characters, even though I haven't played it in awhile. I still have 2 more discs to do, apart from the 2nd I have to finish off.
Yes, the game is not perfect and holds a very tiny midget candle in comparison to FF7, and sometimes it can seem a little too strange to follow, but once you get through the rough parts, it's actually quite enjoyable.

One thing that really threw me off was the music. It's still a little puzzling at times, but the world map music, which I immediately raised an eyebrow at upon first hearing it, actually grew on me.

So this is really a question for you fellow Final Fantasy fans..
which do you prefer? VII or VIII?
