FFVIII was great at the beginning. Graphics, FMV, story, battles were all good... But I never finished it due to a few things...
I hated Guardian Forces for two reasons. You need to rely on them too much, which wouldn't have been terrible if you could skip past the long animation you had to watch each time you summoned them.
I got tired of the drawing magic from enemies during battle.
I agree with twesterm that the games only get better.
