Well, FFVIII was the first RPG I ever played. Therefore, I wasn't biased in any way with opinions about RPG's. I was a tabla rasa if you will (blank slate).

Anyway, I really enjoyed FFVIII. I think the characters were more dimensional than some people let on. But I don't care to elaborate because I don't care to read about why this game sucks, and I'm sure you FFVIII-haters feel the same, so I'll just say that I really liked the game.

Oh, and actually, I DON'T care. There will always be people who love the game, and there will always be people who hate it. Why should it matter to me if somebody dislikes a game I like? There are much more important things to worry about, like how to eliminate the random rule in Triple Triad. ^_^, just kidding.
