To be forthcoming, Final Fantasy VIII is not a favorite Final Fantasy of mine. In fact, it's in my bottom 5 even below Final Fantasy X-2, which is an entirely different issue altogether. Two of the things that bugged me about this game is gameplay and story of which both are paramount to me in liking a game. Although I didn't particularly like either, it did have good music. Aside from "Liberi Fatali," the other song that comes to my mind is "Eyes on Me" by Faye Wong. "Eyes on Me" is essentially the theme song of Final Fantasy VIII since it primarily revolves around the relationship between Squall and Rinoa. The song itself is pretty good given the context in which it is used with the budding romance between our aforementioned heroes. The music is one of the reasons I will probably play this game again at some point. It may not be a favorite of mine, but it's not trash. Part of my motivation would be to make sense of the story again, which went over my head...
