Not really. I enjoy Final Fantasy VIII for feeling refreshing without steeping away from the usual Final Fantasy formula.

Though to be honest the whole game just feels a like a experiment and a gamble. It feels like if this idea and system worked they would of had a strong mind of confidence to follow it for more Final Fantasy games.

Final Fantasy VIII has it's flaws and highs like the other Final Fantasy games. The only flaw that annoys me about it is the lack of character development and leaving the characters just feel like stereotypes.

Squall- The misunderstood loner

Rinoa- The Princess/ Damsel

Selphie- The Cute/ Hyperactive Girl

Zell- The one with the bad temper

Seifer- Jerk with a heart

And so on.

Compared to Final Fantasy VII which had heavily complexed developed characters like Cloud and Tifa. This is quite disappointing.

No, it doesn't make me mad. It was my first Final Fantasy I had played. It's not my all time favorite in the series, but it is a fun one to play and knowing all of the ins and outs makes my characters (i.e. Zell) absolute gamebreakers
