I both love and hate Final Fantasy VIII. Game has some legit amazing moments like the whole first disc and the parts are in space with Squal and Rinoa when they fell in love and they took Rinoa when they were saved. It also had some really dumb stuff like the whole Junction system and the GF made us forget we all came from the same orphanage.
Still has quite possibly the best intro in gaming. One of the better love stories in a JRPG and honestly though it was implied I never figured out who Squal's father was till later in my life.
I love VIII Junctioning and all. The best part of VIII tho is the gunblade trigger system...hit the buttons in the sync with the attack and deal higher damage crit hits. They need to bring that shyt back for all weapons.
