I agree with pretty much everything else you said. But, really, time travel can be just as fantasy based as science fiction based, and those two games should prove that to you. Plus, they're both generally awesome, and I'd love someone else to talk to about them.
I'm well aware of the fact that Time Travel is not exclusive to the Sci-Fi genre (Hello DQVII) but you also have to admit that the Sci-Fi genre uses it far more as a plot device than fantasy. So I still feel justified saying FFVIII has more of a Sci-Fi vibe than previous installments.

I do need to finally take the plunge into Fire Emblem, one of the series besides Golden Sun my GF keeps trying to get me into. I've also heard so many good things about Radiant Historia.
