    Casting scan on Edea and spinning her around to realize there is nothing under her skirt.

    Nothing at all.

    Balamb Garden, Triple Triad, the music, and (for the first time ever in the series) items with a variety of uses. You think about the way things are interlinked in this game - cards that can be refined into items, that can be refined into magic, or maybe refined into other items, or used to teach a limit break, or used to power up a GF, or magic that can be refined into magic...almost every item has 3 or 4 uses. Compare that mechanic to VII before it and it's a joke. All VII's items have a single purpose, and many of them are things you may never even use for that purpose (have you ever used an 8-inch Cannon? I didn't think so). VIII gave all those castoff items meaning and purpose. I loved that.

    It's kind of weird because I love everything about this game. I recognize where some things should have been better and I see why people dislike so much of this game, but I don't even care. My absolute favorite thing is that it drew me into the series and the genre.

    Moombas and the Laguna storyline might be my favorite in game things though. This is funny since as a kid I absolutely hated the Laguna stuff since to me it didn't apply to anything going on in the story.

    From memory you can see up Selphie's yellow dress as well and see her white undies
