The thing about FF8 is that you'll get people that really really love it and will defend it to no end and those that really really hate it and will personally spit on every copy in a 10 mile radius. Meanwhile, you won't find anyone doing either with other FFs.

I'm not sure why everyone is so selective about FF8. To me, it doesn't seem at all that much different from other FFs quality-wise. :rolleyes2
