why do people hate on ff8? that was the first game i played and i love it still i go back and play it from time to time. Squall is a cunning badass just becauase he looks like a chick with a giant SCAR on his face doesnt mean hes isnt cool.
This sums up about every issue I have with FF8. That said, FF12 is still worse by far. Why bother having a completely automated battle system but not have waypoints or something to automate movement through those bland environments? Exploring said boring environments weren't rewarding at all. Turning off the battle automation isn't an option since that would just make things even slower and more boring. The plot amounted to "You shouldn't desire power, but we will let you do what you want anywa- Oh look, a flying fortress!"
