Poor Final Fantasy VIII. It followed VII, which made roughly eight-zillion nerds who had never played an RPG fall in love with the genre. Myself included. Little did we know that most were mine-fields filled with shit, slow-ass battles, and mediocrity.

I loved it. All my friends hated it. It was definitely not Final Fantasy VII 2.0 Us being neophiles to the series, that left a lot of us befuddled. Holding on to one another, crying and asking where Cloud and materia were.

It had the Draw System.

I loved it.

It was Dawson’s Creek in Space and Time.

I loved it.

And now it’s coming to the PSN shortly.

Awesome.
