8 will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first FF I ever beat and the ending of the game, to me, still ranks with among the best ever.
I deeply enjoyed the characters and the risks that Square took with the game, changing up quite a bit after having such a smashing success in 7. The music, the mystery, the locales, all of it adds up to a very enjoyable game, even all these years later.
Take care all.

I don't give it the credit it deserves really, it truly did leave an impression on me. While certain aspects of it feel a bit dodgy, it presented a world I very much enjoyed with characters who weren't all that unbelievable. It took a lot of chances and I think it should be commended for that.
I still remember to buy it in the time it came out here.
Final Fantasy was a mark of my childhood

^ too true! This was my first FF encounter and it pretty much defined my entire childhood, it was probably the first game I ever played that affected me emotionally too. I think most people who hated the game generally expected/wanted an FFVII clone (I never saw the appeal of VII after I finished VIII). Oh yeah, and the summon sequences was just totes awe inspiring!

I think the whole 'wanted an FFVII clone' is far from the truth. That's definitely not the reason people hate it. It's because after the brilliant first disc, the game really goes down hill in gameplay, story and character development. The love story between Rinoa and Squall is just so contrived and forced that it's kind of embarrassing. I won't even get in to the whole orphanage ordeal, it was just plain dumb and uneeded.
In saying that, I still enjoyed playing through the game back when it was released and I have a spot in my heart for the first disc of the game.
