man, eight
I cannot see the good points of that game past the bad. they are just too egregious.
for one thing, when "we all went to the same orphanage and forgot about it" is an amazing plot twist, you know you've gone wrong somewhere.
Yeah, when i got to that point of the game, I sat there for a second in disbelief. And the GF's are the reason why they "forgot"? c'mon . . . . Also, they really could have put a "skip animation" option for the summons. I mean when your using them like 7-8 times in a battle and they play their freaking 2 minute long animation EVERY time . . . well . . . enough said.

Yes, that one sucked hard. The main villian was pretty cool, until she decided she was actually a really good person, and only dressed like an evil goth witch from hell.
Oh, and the hero was such an emo dick. all he did was whine.
Y'know, I kinda' felt that Squall was kind of more emo than I felt Cloud was. Shocking but true. Still, I cannot wait until they re-release IX for the PS classics. Playing 8 only further cemented 9 as my favorite Final fantasy.
I'd say that 8 was horribly bad, but definitely some "wow . . . is this game being serious?" moments throughout. I liked the subplot with Laguna/Julia/Raine way more than the whole Squall/Rinoa thing (which by the way I didn't find too believable. But hey it's a freaking video game right?
