FF8 was a story that couldn't be fully appreciated unless you had been through your college years and could reflect on it as an adult, but with a fantasy setting. Playing it now is kind of a lot more amazing than it was as a kid, but I can see why teens disliked it so much back then.

I'm really not interested though... I kind of want to play final fantasy X, because i know how the game is. I tried to play a snes final fantasy when i was a kid, but i didn't knew english at the time, so you imagine how things went...

As a non-native speaker it could be quite challenging, I'm sure. The English translations back then were not so good either, so even then it could be quite confusing because some sentences simply were not correct.
