It would be another year before SONY would ready its PS2 for launch so it needed to buy some time and do its utmost to bash down Dreamcast sales numbers. On 9/9/99 SONY attempted to counter the launch of the Dreamcast by choosing that exact date to launch Final Fantasy VIII, the much anticipated "sequel" to the super popular 1997 PlayStation RPG Final Fantasy VII. By some estimates that move impacted sales of the Dreamcast hardware and its software launch line-up by 10% or more!
But in retrospect, what do you think of FF8 in comparison to the Dreamcast launch games? I personally much preferred the DC's launch library to Final Fantasy VIII, but let's break it down.
