Well, I've only played the demo of FF8, but it looks pretty sweet (my pre-order ticket is sitting on my desk right now!) and the chara designs, which I hated at first 'cause they were too realistic, are really starting to grow on me (except for Zell, what a loser). I was inspired to do one of Rinoa and Squall because of the great FF8 "Eyes on Me" music video I saw at CNAnime... and that song has been repeating over and over in my head ever since...
