I love Final Fantasy VIII.

[BG-57]

FFVIII is my favorite in the regular FF series (next only to FFT). I love almost everything about the game: the heroes, the villains, the monsters, the world design, GFs, junctioning, and Triple Triad. I have minor issues with the plot and the SeeD ranking system.

Final fantasy VIII is alright. It's lacking in some areas like the battle system and story, but I love the characters and the soundtrack.

Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite from the PSX generation, and ranks very high in my arrangement of my favorites. The junction system is well thought-out, and not as cumbersome as lazy people make it out to be. I loved the story; I've seen it analyzed more than any other Final Fantasy.

It frustrates me VII fanboys say "VIII sucks junctioning is too hard, why isn't Cloud in it kissing Sephiroth, wah wah wah." I hated VII for the longest time, then I made myself sit through it. I came to realize that "hey, it's not that bad." It still isn't my favorite (I rank it second worst), but it's not a bad game, and I could definitely see playing it again in the short future.

Maybe when I'm done playing through VIII again.

I think VIII had elements that people either loved or hated. I enjoyed the battle system and triple triad. I also enjoyed the story, while conceding that there are areas where it could be improved.

Some of the conspiracy theories here are absolutely awesome. How people can think of something so obscure based on one or two lines is amazing.

FFVIII was my first Final Fantasy and my second favorite n.n

Funny how my friends at school only like FFVIII and my friends online like FFIX

I love FFVIII--in large part because of what I felt was a cohesive, well-developed world that, even discounting the main characters, was interesting. Most, if not all of the locations in the world had stories of their own, and had hooks and scenes that shows that there was mroe to them than simply a place for Squall and company to visit. It had history, and it showed.
