I have just submitted my own user review on this game, and would really appreciate it if you would give me your poinions as to whether it's good enough or not.
Your review is up btw.

Wasn't there an idea for a thread where we discuss the reviews?

re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

There was one indeed. I have prepared something of a "report" for the first few pages of the game reviews on Word (the ones I feel we need to discuss) but haven't found the chance to post it yet.

I am guessing it should be expected some time after the weekend.

re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

User Reviews

Right then, I went through the first three (out of the eleven) pages of the User Reviews.

Note that this is not a list of just the reviews I want to edit/remove. I actually included a few more reviews that could generate discussion. If a review is not mentioned, I consider its quality and helpfulness above average. If it is mentioned, it does not necessarily mean its quality is bad.

So here it is:


  • SpiritMafia's review – Typical FF7 fanboy review. I normally wouldn’t mind, but the language puts me off. Thinking of editing off a few parts or completely deleting.

  • shoe's review – Example of a review I don’t agree with as a neutral but I’m not thinking of removing. The reviewer gives his personal opinion, that’s what he is asked to do anyway. He’s often extreme, but I don’t find it insulting enough to take measures against it.

  • Kokoro's review – Typical ignorant review. I could classify it into the previous category if there were actual points to consider. Now there’s just bashing without any reasons given. The mere fact that he picks to criticise the music (FF8’s strongest part for many) shows he probably hasn’t played the game further than the “first 10 minutes he enjoyed”. Thinking of removing it.

  • H P Lovecraft's review – Spam review. It would be acceptable as a comment for the game, but it was obviously too short to comply with the Neoseeker rules (obvious from the last paragraph). I don’t know how it got through, but I’m thinking of removing it.

  • bk imperialdramon pm's review - Another spam review. Not really helpful. Thinking of removing that too.

  • Cascade7's review - FF7 fanboy review. But a well presented one. I disagree but I find no reason to do anything about it.

  • Harvester_of_Sorrow's review - This one gets a little off-topic. XD I don't consider it too helpful, but it's not that bad either.

  • KillerGunblade's review - Not helpful at all. I did find it funny, but it's obviously not up to the quality standards we need. I won't easily be convinced to keep it.


    Feedback, please.

    re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

    Spirit Mafias review- i would ssy edit it ti but editing out all the useless parts/bad language would leave it with hardly anything

    Shoes review- Seems okay to me

    Kokoros review- dont like it, i think it was criticising for the sake of criticisng.

    Lovecrafts review- It wasnt bad up to the last paragraph, donest seem to serve much purpose though

    bk imperialdramon pm's review - too many off the wll things and some broken links, i dont think its worth keeping.


    Harvester_of_Sorrow's review i think keep this one, it doesnt seem bad to me.



    KillerGunblade's review- i wouldnt keep it if it was me, creative as it was.

    re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

    I think Kokoro and KillerGunblade's reviews should be trashed. Those were not helpful at all. It doesn't look like Kokoro even played past the first 10 minutes, and KillerGunblade's wasn't even a review.

    I don't think you should edit anyone's reviews unless it's just grammer/spelling errors/spam.

    bk imperialdramon pm's review wasn't informative at all. It should probably be deleted as well.

    Cascade7's review wasn't bad imo.

    He seemed to be way too harsh on the music though. >_>

    re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

    I agree with keeping shoe's now...it's just odd how he'd comment on Selphie having a short dress and Shiva, a GF, when you got Tifa from FFVII xD Meh, it's like he never played VII or any of the others. And also, the graphics? He did that review in '05...for the love of God, they were good for 1999. But other than that, at least he has some decent reasons.

    Why would people think that the characters are really that bland? Many of them developed in my eyes...only downside is their backstory.

    Haha, Kokoro's and Killer's have to go.

    re: FF8 Forum Questions, Suggestions and Feedback

    The first couple are completely pathetic. Sorry excuse for a review if i've ever seen one. Get rid of shoes tbh. Real disgrace. People saying the graphics are bad. I mean For its time it they're awsome. To me they're awsome now. I wrote a good review about how good ff8 is. About everythign in the game and the review got denied. I mean wtf. Some idiot reviews get accepted and I say everything thats good about the game and it gets denied. Honestly I think you should delete the awful ones.Forget editing them.

    Deleted the reviews of Kokoro, H P Lovecraft, bk imperialdramon and KillerGunblade.

    Also edited SpiritMafia's review.

    I will be reviewing the next three pages in the following days.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated.

    Maybe we should have a slave auction.

    I have plans for Lone.

    The democratically decided answer is no. Next suggestion.
