What worked in this Game?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
...Rinoa was hot?
(SPOILER)Okay, some of the music was pretty good, and as much as I despise it, at least it was ballsy enough to try new things.
The Ragnarok was badass. >_____>
EDIT: Oh, and I liked how Odin/Gilgamesh was implemented.
The music. FH is so calm and relaxing and so fitting towards the mood of the peaceful city and then there's songs like The Extreme which is a awesome final boss theme and really underated.
Seifer's character and his relationship with Squall. Well, for the most part anyway - it all does kinda fall apart at the end but it still worked for a majority of the game.
Rinoa and Selphie were both very bangable.
The ending is actually quite touching and I do tend to tear up during the part with Laguna and Raine.
Several moments in the storyline were genuinely heartwarming. The ending, as mentioned, the scene with Squall and Rinoa on the Ragnarok, a good chunk of their scenes on disc 3, actually. I think VIII is tied with X as the most emotional in the series, though VIII seems to be on the happier side while X is more bittersweet.
Laguna is an awesome character, plain and simple.
Triple Triad is one of the best FF minigames ever, right up there with blitzball and Chocobo Hot and Cold.
The summon designs are probably the most badass in the series.
The FMVs are GORGEOUS even today, the intro and the waltz scene in particular.
Those humorous moments that I could have never seen coming. The ones that weren't suppose to be taken so seriously.
Laguna was a good character and the soundtrack was interesting and unlike anything in the series.
The setting had potential, and I actually really liked some of the character designs. Squall is one of Nomura's best designs, and with a few exceptions, the entire look of the game overall was very unique for the series.
The music. The battle themes are among the best in the series.
Music, graphics, world design, pacing, combat, junctioning, triple triad, the story until disc 4.

Laguna, Selphie, the music, and the graphics.

You forgot to list Triple Triad, bro.

I will only admit that Triple Triad worked in the fact that I kept me addicted. I detest that game. But... its so addicting T0T

The spaaaaaaace scene. And the Ragnarok is awesome.
For me, you get pulled into the game pretty quickly. The entire 1st disc I liked but hated disc 2. It picks back up again for me on the 3rd disc (which is my favorite) and disc 4 isn't too shabby, either.
I mastered the trout out of the junctioning system and was able to manipulate battles pretty well because of it. It's my favorite FF battle/magic system.
It has some awesome cities. I loooove Dollet, Fisherman's Horizon, Deling City and Esthar.
Triple Triad is pretty fun, but can be annoying as trout.
