Final Fantasy VIII es un videojuego de tipo RPG desarrollado por Squaresoft en 1999 para el sistema PlayStation, aunque posteriormente salió una versión para PC. Es la octava entrega de la serie de videojuegos Final Fantasy. Este juego se aleja de la tónica de fantasía mostrada en las entregas anteriores enfocándose en presentar a personajes más realistas y el primero en contar con un tema musical cantado para el juego. El juego costó en total para su realización unos tres mil millones de Yenes en Japón.
