Both FF8 and 10 are quite meh to be honest.
Both games look good, both have some good chars, but overall those are the weakest from the modern FFs I've played.

8 is kinda of a mess, I remember giving it a good score after finishing it because I liked 7 and was excited to get on 9, but I would not give it one now.

The ending of the story and the "twist" to it is lame, that "twist" actually makes the whole story bad as a result IMO.

The junction system is horribly explained and works very poorly on a first playthrough, unless someone is helping you or you are using a guide it's very likely you'll have a bad experience with it. Also the enemies level up with you, so right after you level up you are actually weaker than before, and that's really not a good choice IMO.

The card game is pretty good tho. I also like the summons too. It has a pretty good "rival" as well.

Overall I only recommend trying it for the sake of having played it, as a game itself I would not recommend it.

10 is better than 8, it has a propper turn based battle system if you want, which is great, and it also have a way better story than 8 overall.
But I still can't understand how 13 is so hated for things 10 did before and that one is so beloved.

10 is as much if not more limiting than 13, it has a lot of corridor maps.

I personally don't mind it, but it puzzles me why so many people are selective with 13 to pick up on it for that, but not on 10.

But nearly everything on 13 is better than 10, and 10 has some pretty bad choices too.

It has a separated language you have to "learn" bit by bit, and it expects you to go back to places you forgot many moons ago so you can read a part of a text you couldn't and try to figure it out, and I'll be honest that I don't even remember what you learn when you do, but I do remember not liking having to go back to do it.

Blitzball SUCKS ASS. That minigame is BAD. And the game freaking forces it on you at least 1 time (maybe more). It's really a damn disservice for the game it existing and it being popular on that world makes me doubt their sanity.

It's also overall just decent, I would recommend trying 10 but except for 8 I would rather recommend playing any other of the modern ones, even the sequels like 10-2, 13-2 and Lightning Returns, I enjoyed all of them more than 10.
