I'd have to say one of my favorite games is also Final Fantasy VII.. but as far as the best find in my collection, it would probably have to be Dot Hack: Quarantine.
Is FF8 any good?
I personally like FF8. A lot of people don't, and I'm not too sure why. I mean sure, the main character is a bit anti-social, but he pulls it together later. There's enough going on to keep it from being boring. Another thing people didn't really like was the fact that you didn't get money from killing monsters, and that you couldn't really buy weapons, only upgrade them.. but it still works. I like FF7 better than FF8, but I like FF8 better than FF9.
