Well, I love VIII and think Squall is the best protagonist, but the OST is pretty much FF bottom tier for me. It's mostly the arrangements though, since I tend to like orchestrations of Man with the Machine Gun far more than the original, for example. Other than the occasional blood-chilling Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec moment, there's just a lot of weird, goopy sounds all around and it just... doesn't sound very pleasant to me, tbh
