Look man I really love FF8 but calling it "the best FF ever" is just asking for it to get shat upon. We really don't need that right now, so please stop it.

I think Squall is a great MC (everyone else sucks though) and it has the best music and FMV of the series. Everything else, meh.

FF8 pros:
Easily the best FMV direction of the series
Top tier soundtrack (with the sole exception being Eyes on Me)
Graphics looked great for the time
Triple Triad blows every other minigame out of the water
Squall has great character development

FF8 cons:
Story begins a downward spiral after the first disc
Squall is insufferable for the first half of the game
Everyone else is an annoying incompetent buffoon
The Junction System is stupidly broken
Drawing magic should never have been implemented
Eyes on Me is the gayest shit ever

Overall this game could have benefitted most from a remake if only to fix most of the gameplay issues of the original.
