It's not my favourite, but it's a good game and I love playing it. Especially when that nostalgia sets in, it's good to play through all the events again. Though drawing 100 magics really sucks, but you get used to it after a while

FFVIII took my RPG's virginity, so it has a special place in my heart.

No seriously, it was the first RPG I ever laid my hands on, because I thought them being kinda complicated to understand and they didn't quite appeal me. But when I happened to see some screenshots from the CG cuts on a magazine, I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of the graphics. I just had to have it.

I know it has flaws (I mean, mayor flaws), but in the end it's a very cool game and the proof is that when I finally beat Ultimecia, I ran to the store to purchase FFVII and after that I have played almost every FF game that has been released, along with other games not only made by Square, like Capcom's excelent Breath of Fire.

I believe that if Square had taken a little more time to develop the characters and some points in the plot, this might have been their greatest creation, because it has everything: gorgeous graphics, innovative battle system (even if its annoying sometimes and makes the game overly easy. But FFVII had this flaw too: when you have Counter Magic paired with Ultima, plus Final blow with Phoenix, 4xcut with counter and so on and forth, the game is pretty easy too, it all depends on HOW you use the resources you've been given), good characters, a nice plot, awesome music and it took the PS' capabilities to its maximum.
