| Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy. |

When I first played through FFVIII I hated this game.
As soon as I entered the cave to obtain Ifrit, I couldn't wait for this game to end and me to set it aside and move on to the next game. However, as I neared the end of the game, I started to warm up to it, but not quite all the way.
I wouldn't say I love the game, I just am fascinated on it's unique story that Square Soft brought to the plate. It was a little confusing at first to get a handle on, but after beating it, like FF game I play, I went to any reliable source I could find to go deeper into the plot and try to unravel it.
While I won't go as far as loving the game, it's not on my hit-list for games I hate though.

Love it, because of it's superb story, excellent soundtrack, and great gameplay. This is definitely my second favourite Final Fantasy game, understandably, it's one of the best video games ever made.

Love it. I loved the story-line and music and out of all the Final Fantasy's I've played it would definatly come 2nd place to Final Fantasy 7.

I loved FF VIII. But I have to say, Disc 1 was the highlight for me. Edea was such a great character, and her design still wows me. But it was disappointing to see her as a Villiain cease to be. Ultimecia ruined my dream of Edea being the Big Bad, but I have to say, after some logical probing and quotes that suggested Ultimecia's backstory made her very interesting to me, and I found a new respect for this tacked on Villiain. Other than that the characters were great, a bit cheesey at time but I don't mind. The music was excellent. Overall I loved this game, and was glad to play it.

I hate it actually, the characters were annoying really I didn't like a single one except Questist maybe (perhaps I spelled it wrong) and I didn't like the Idea of going to the past and then to the present it annoyed me, but I only liked the part where Galbadia attack Balamb Garden.

love it! epic storyline! Great music! And the best love story of all time! As I always say; Screw Romeo and Juliet, It's Squall Leanhart and Rinoa Heartilly all the way 
My one problem is all the other party members dont have as much depth, and the battle system can get annoying.

Even though it's a bit different from final fantasy 7, it is still among the top of the list
