Both you FFVIII and FFIX haters are all mad! Two best games in the series right there.
I never get it when people label Squall as 'emo' - what does that even mean? He's very introspective and sometimes quite cold towards people. But the emo labelling seems to suggest he whines a lot and does nothing to help his situation, when in fact he is nothing like that at all (for the record, the same thing applies to Cloud as well,another 'emo' character supposedly). Squall's best quality is he always trys to get things done, even though he may be silently bitching about it. So the game dwells on his inner thoughts a lot, but I liked that.
I think FFVIII is certainly the Marmite (as in 'love it or hate it') game of the series, and in a way that endears me to it even more. Whatever people's opinions on it though, I do think that it was given a rather difficult (if not impossible) task in having to follow up FFVII. You suspect however FFVIII had turned out, it was always likely to be divisive
