Funny review indeed, but it wont change the fact that FFVIII is still one of my favourite games.
He takes whats bad and obviously annoying about the game, and makes his review around it. Just like the angry nintendo nerd.
I dont know whether or not this was made prior or after the release of AVGNs videos, or of it was inspired by it at all, but it shares some of the same elements.

You just gotta take the video for what it is, and enjoy it.
I did, but I dont think any less of FFVIII couse of it.
