Why does everyone hate FF VIII?

[finalsquall]

I for one hate it.... J/ks It is my fave game. People hate Squall because he was withdrawn (I love that), people thought the way the characters posed was so Beverly Hills 90210. People thought the Junction system was too complicated (anymore thinking outside of placing materia in weapons is really complicated) and people wanted Cloud. Cloud was more f*k'd up than Squall anyways.

FF8 is truly a deep game that many games will would hope to achieve. It's a classic and will always be a game that people either love or hate. I guess it's a game that only a few people get. The rest are just whiners :P and still in love with Cloud or small cutesy characters :P
