the only thing i hated about FF8 was the junction/draw system. that made the game way too easy for me. i did love the characters, music, storyline though. my faves are seifer, zell, ultimecia and the library girl with pigtails. i gave library girl her own name and backstory which imo gives FF8 a whole new perspective (especially with the group of fanfics i have planned). i post them on fanfiction.net under the name "sorceress eternity". i merged most of the FF games into one world but different timelines, so all the stories work together for a bigger plot hehe.
