The Final Fantasy VIII Defender Has Logged On
Let's get this out of the way: Final Fantasy VIII is my favorite game of all time. It was the first FF game I ever played, and one of the first RPGs too (does Faxanadu count?). I like to think I'm not an particularly nostalgic person — in fact I'm pretty sick of cultural nostalgia at this point — but FF8 is a game that has stuck with me since I first played it in 2000. It's also a game that I think needs defending.
