FFVIII was my favourite but unlike the others, it wasn't a prologue type thing, since a lot of the stuff in it beside the fight scene wouldn't be addressed until much later in the game, like Edea and words spoken at Edea's house. The other FF's mostly got straight to the point.

When the game began and Quistis told me that Seifer and Squall were just training, it sounded so lame. They wanted to kill each other! Did anyone else see the look in Seifer's eye?
