Phenom is on a distinguished road
Easy. Final Fantasy 8. While FF7 was a good game, (and has better characters) I can't continue to play a game where my characters look like lego's. Perhaps if I were into RPGs back when FF7 first came out I would've had a different opinion. (I wasn't much of a graphic freak back then as I am now.)

Now, FF8 was the first in the series I've ever played. Squall is one of the best characters I've seen in games. Cliched... "shrugs" I don't mind that stuff. He gets a lot of hate for being so cold and distant. Perhaps it's rightfully so that he gets all this hate, but I tend to like characters like him. It's a lot better than playing as characters that're naive and idiotic. Honestly, the rpgs that've been coming out recently has me on the skeptical side because they leading character is either naive, spoiled, or stupid. (Sora, Fayt, Luke) While I haven't played any of these newer RPGs, I'm just skeptical of the leading characters because they are kids. I think the only exception would be Lost Odyssey.

Anyway, it took quite some time for Rinoa to grow onto me. I've had a change of heart (I'm getting soft, lol) for Rinoa when
Spoiler: show
she was drifting in space
. I don't know why, I just felt sorry for her. None of the characters are really that bad IMO, their just no Vincent, Tifa, and Sephiroth, you know? Nevertheless they're tolerable.

And then a lot of people hate the junction system. I prefer this method over collecting materia or unlocking some grid. (Dragon Quest 8 and Chrono Trigger are better in terms of gaining new abilites though) Then again, I have a lot of patience and I don't mind drawing magic from enemies.

I'm rambling so I'll stop now. I can talk about FF8 for days lol.
