summary

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
