I really enjoyed the entire game. I think it's easy to state I loved the FMVs I mean seriously the graphics at the time were like "omfg wow!" Infact I would still say that even compared to the games released today. I think a lot of developers could learn something about creating games from Final fantasy 8, a lot still fall short of its standards in a lot of ways. As for my favourite part in the game...Gabaldia Garden and Balamb Garden battle and the ruins of Trabia Garden also the Dollet Mission ruled too (would have liked the option upon returning to Balamb of changing clothes more often for either cadet uniform or formal dress uniform). I also would have suggested an optional quest to re-build Trabia garden after all Squall becomes the Commander and Chief of SeeD and they train candidates there. but all in all a great game and one I recommend to those who dont mind a tedious magic system but fast level system. (early on in game if you wanna level up use the vysage's near timber. Quite hard at first but summon shiva a lot and its easy)
