FF VIII has me completely.
I one stumbled onto a discussion as the FF VII vs VIII. VII was winning popularity wise, but the VIII supporters were winning the logic war.
the main arguement was that FFVIII was to complex to be fully enjoyed by some, and that made it more enjoyable to others.
I've played every FF game, discounting 1 - 3. to me VII is excelent, but 8 has 7 in story depth and soundtrack, as well as the battle system.
VII does however have the coolest villin to date, sephiroth.
and Grim Fandango was awesome.
