About the game
Description
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.

Grading
Grading a game means sending it to an independent company that certifies it is genuine, scores its condition and seals it in a case. It is mostly done with sealed or near-mint copies, and it changes their value a lot.
