Only thing about FF8 I didn't like was you dont equip armor. Instead, you junction magic with your GF's but if you know what your doing this can make you godly. I think the main thing that ruined the game for me is that I had just bought a gameshark and the game was so boring I wanted to get through it quick. The graphics kick ass though, so does the music. The story is OK, the ending battle takes forever though.
