Okay, real reasons why VIII is good:

>vastly improved character models compared to VII
>excellent background art
>fantastic score
>ENC-Half and ENC-None
>epic card-based minigame actually provides gameplay benefits and isn't just there to kill time
>the dog's search function randomly rewarding you with awesome stuff
>quality final dungeon even detractors usually admit is good
>junctioning isn't any more game-breaking than grinding to stupid-high levels, just much less time consuming
>Fujin and Rajin, ya know?

The story might not click with everybody (I liked VII's better too), but it's still a quality game, wish people would stop acting like it's somehow not worth playing
