FFVIII's easily. Very little misery when compared to just about every other game in the series. A little bit of militarism, but I can deal with it. It's the only game where I can visit every single town and think, 'yeah I can see why people would live here because I'd live here too.' I'm convinced that the reason I cut VIII so much slack is because it has places in it like Balamb Town, Timber, Winhill, Dollet, Fisherman's Horizon, Deling City, etc.
