Nobody really seems to call FFVIII a masterpiece - I only ever see it get buttloads of hate.

While I really love it. It's one of my favorites, and though it has its tedious parts, I find them bearable. And I really enjoy Triple Triad, and though most of the characters are grossly boring, I actually like Squall and Rinoa.

This guy has some valid points, but they just don't bother me that much I guess.
