He's not. He hasn't played FFVIII and wants to know why some people strongly dislike it.

Anyways, one reason for some people detesting FFVIII that I can think of is the Junction system. Some people I have met really hate the system either because it's too complicated or they're just a FFVII fanboy and this game doesn't have the materia system (Hehe). Others don't like rescuing Rinoa so many times even though if you hadn't, key events would never have occured (for example: Ragnarok). Still, some others don't like it because in their opinion, Seifer, Edea, (SPOILER)and Ulty didn't stand a chance as villins in the shadow of Sephiroth. There are many other possible answers which I will let someone else address.
