About Final Fantasy 8, I absolutely hated "drawing" magic from everything cause it was so time consuming. And the GF' animations took forever and you couldnt skip them. There fun to watch at first but not over and over again for the millionth time. But to this day, it is my favorite game of all time, just dont ask me to ever play it again,

 True the drawing of magic sucked but after all I didn't used many magic in that game.

The worst part about the GF's are the fact that if you don't know you missed so many GF's (You have to draw some GF's from bosses and in my first playtrough I didn't know this) I missed euhm Siren (almost in the beginning) Carbuncle, Pandemonium and others.

But after all the story was very appealing for me, I was so jealous of that school I wanted to have a school like that, the fight on the school was so awesome, your first mission with that giant robot, the love story between Rinoa and Squall).

After I beated that game I came to the conclusion I was like him (Squall) and in fact FFVIII changed my life.
