I also prefered that each character in Tekken 2 had their own individual sub boss like how Armor King was to King and Kunimitsu to Yoshimitsu. It's because they each had their own rival or mentor. And yeah the stories were great lol. Some of them are still ridiculous like how in tekken 5 Ling Xiaoyu enters so she can create a time machine lol.
I think I prefered FF8 to 7 because it got rid of the annoying MP bar and just let you get on with the big attacks. FF9 was a bit fo a let down but I like how it was more liek the first few so for me FF7, 8 and 9 all stand out as a good trilogy

I really love VIII but I love it to the point that I'm willing to ignore what I believe is an enormous list of flaws. The Junctioning system was just too abstract for me. Being able to refine Demi spells from playing cards or pull it out of monsters heads and store up to but not beyond 99 black holes in your back pocket was just too much for me even though it is a fantasy game.
Squall is an annoying emo gimp, Seifer is so awesome that they decided to totally bitch him out, give him easy boss fights, and dispose of him as the primary antagonist in favour of some characterless time travelling witch, I could go on.
This guy does a very good series of video reviews ripping the game apart :

I still lurve it though. When you are roaming the world map or fowarding text with your thumb or listening to awesome battle music at 4 in the morning after playing it for 12 hours straight your forced to love it and develop this nostalgic attatchment to it. Those games do that really well.
