Tbh, I actually like FFVIII more than FFVII. But I don't really like either games all that much anyway, so that's not surprising. You pretty much hit the points on FFVIII, the game play is odd though experimental. It can be a deep system with customizing stats and weapons with magic. But I don't think the system works particularly well, it should've just gone with a standard turned based battle system, though I do commend FFVIII for being different.

I think the soundtrack is excellent, was just listening to it again a few days ago. Yes, the story does start out slow although, Disk 2 does pick things up. However, Disk 3 does have weird pacing but it does have its moments. The characters will get better in terms of being likable and you will feel how connected they are by the end of the game. So it seems that you think FFVIII is a little weird but an alright game which is pretty much how I feel about the game. But seriously, beat FFVIII and get to FFIX (Easily the best PS1 FF imo).

Also, have you watched Spoony's review of the game? If not, you should watch it after you beat the game. It's hilarious!
