FFVIII isn't that bad the story is just full of weird things that make absolutly no sense like the point where they all remember living together with the sorceress they were fighting was their guardian. Then they proceed to cover up their forgetfulness by blaming it on the GFs even though some of the characters had only just started using GFs????? The other thing that bother me is how easy it is to become a god by not leveling at all and drawing a ton of magic. You can have super stats right at the start of the game if you just spend some time drawing and not gaining exp.
The first time I played the game I made the mistake of leveling up and getting to a boss very late in the game at like lvl 97 and the boss was next to impossible and was never able to beat it. Took me a few years before i picked the game up again to finish and I just blazed through never really getting over lvl 30.
