I've played a tiny tiny tiny amount of FFVIII but tbh I didn't find it that enthralling. I did watch a few of his vids but I found them tedious in themselves to watch, and admittedly it did kind of put me off the game. Hated the gameplay graphics (yessss BarelySee is picky about graphics blahblahblah), hated the monotony, and didn't find that many characters particularly enjoyable. What ever I did know about the plot didn't particularly thrill me either. =/ I guess some FF games just don't appeal as well to others
