Ha, I was going to ask the same question.

I'm in agreement that it is one of the worst Final Fantasies.

The character creation in ff8 was fantastic in every way.
Squall,seifer and selphie where wonderful and it just shows that Square is number1 in this business
The characters in FFVIII are 2 dementional, flat, predictable and boring. Squall is always apathetic, Rinoa always cheery and Seifer always disgruntled. It reminds me of a kids' mid-afternoon soap opera with really bad actors. There is no character development and if a character changes it's like a night-to-day change where you wonder, "How the hell (or why the hell) did that happen?".

It worked great for me i beated Omega Weapon very easily and i thank this system.
The customization aspect of the magic system is great, but I found drawing spells from places, things and enemies to get tedious. If you could refine more magic from items it would have been a little more fun.

So yeah, FFVIII isn't the worst, but I don't think it's the best. I could play through it again if I had to, but I would rather play through any of the other Final Fantasies first.
