This game gets a lot of trout, sometimes for good reason others time I don't feel so but let's talk about the positives, what are your favorite things about FFVIII?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Casting scan on Edea and spinning her around to realize there is nothing under her skirt.
Nothing at all.
The Gardens
Being able to fly your Garden
Various locations such as Balamb, Dollet, Timber, Deling City, etc.
The cast. Quite frankly, I always found them to be fun
Sorceress Edea
Galbadia Military
The music
Gunblades. *drops mic, exits*
Balamb Garden, Triple Triad, the music, and (for the first time ever in the series) items with a variety of uses. You think about the way things are interlinked in this game - cards that can be refined into items, that can be refined into magic, or maybe refined into other items, or used to teach a limit break, or used to power up a GF, or magic that can be refined into magic...almost every item has 3 or 4 uses. Compare that mechanic to VII before it and it's a joke. All VII's items have a single purpose, and many of them are things you may never even use for that purpose (have you ever used an 8-inch Cannon? I didn't think so). VIII gave all those castoff items meaning and purpose. I loved that.
going to space! interactive story lines; like carrying Rinoa. the cut scenes were amazing at the time! the music rocked!

5. The weird collision detection w/ automobiles & being able to push a train back on the world map.
It's kind of weird because I love everything about this game. I recognize where some things should have been better and I see why people dislike so much of this game, but I don't even care. My absolute favorite thing is that it drew me into the series and the genre.
Moombas and the Laguna storyline might be my favorite in game things though. This is funny since as a kid I absolutely hated the Laguna stuff since to me it didn't apply to anything going on in the story.
The battle system
Triple Triad
Gunblades
The music
The fact that enemies level up with you, encouraging efficient, low level play and exploitation of the junction system
