Final Fantasy VIII does so much wrong, but it is great!

MODERATORS
VIII > IX > X > VII
Yes, I said it (and I love VII).
My ranking as well, though I haven't finished X yet. I wasn't a huge fan of OG FF7.
I did not like 9 as a kid and have not really played it again since. What do you like about?
IX I think was just one of my all time favourite games in terms of aesthetic and story.
The characters themselves were really well done and I related to them all (especially Eiko also being a younger sister) and Freya is one of my favourite playable FF characters. I also think Kuja is amazing; both personality and appearance.
Most importantly, they have the correct Moogles. :)
Moguri mod improves it a lot too, if you have the PC version.
Also Memoria Project has a fan created UE5 demo posted which is amazing :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaMiPb6KiWo
I consider Vivi to be their best written character.
