I agree with every word you said there, I personally enjoy Final Fantasy VIII a lot more than Final Fantasy VII, to be honest, I find that Final Fantasy VII can take a bit of time to get into, most of the beginning of the game is spent walking around doing very little and not taking part in many battles. Final Fantasy VIII gets right into the action, plus it has the Junction ability, which I thought was a fantastic way of upgrading your characters stats etc. The story was a lot better in my oppinion, the battle system was a lot fluent, and the overall look of the game was a lot more impresive. FFVIII is one of those games that I could play all night and day without getting one bit bored. But for me, nothing beats Final Fantasy X!
I think you have to the two games mixed up.

FFVII starts off when you jump off a train and immediately plunged into battle. You continue in battles until you destroy the reactor.

FFVIII starts off in an infirmary and you must walk around the garden and in class before you are able to leave and let real action take place.

Complete reverse right there.
When I tryed for the first time to play FF7, I gave up after the first battle. The beginning was so boring that i just closed it and started to replay FF8. A few weeks later I tryed again and finished it. Its a kickass game, but FF8 had more exciting moments, including the beginning of it.
