I thought 8 was ok. I did get bored with it by the time I hit the last disk and never actually beat the thing, but I don't know if it deserves all the venom that's been flung at it by... Well practically everybody.

It isn't the shit-fest that was FFX-2, I'll tell you that! I didn't get two hours in before I turned that stinker off. The scantily clad J-pop performance in the beginning really gave me a sour taste in my mouth.
