VIII's gfx are fine, but I did not really like how the characters were reality-sized, guess I'm just too used to the style of FF I-VI and IX.
But I still liked VIII it was so interestingly different than all the other FF's. I played IX first, then VII (was disgusted) than VIII and I enjoyed VIII, still need to finish it someday but from what I played (I almost got to Disc2) I found it very enjoyable so far. IX my fav, tough. But VIII's underrated, IMHO, just like IX.

Square said (I heard that somewhere) that they would be interested in more ports/remakes like FF III DS. Maybe we can hope that one day we'll have FF I to IX on our DS? Heh, VII on a Nintendo console, that would so smurf the Sony and VII fans, I think. Or maybe VII-IX will come on PSP... Seems unlikely, as Square choose the best selling console for FF III DS... So yeah, DS seems likely...
*Dreams on and on* Ah, the thought of playing IX everywhere makes me float. and if they made VIII too, I would certainly pick it up so I could finish it. VII too, but just to complete my collection, not because I like it or anything. *Stops dreaming*
