> In 2002, IGN named Final Fantasy VIII the seventh best title for the PlayStation of all time, placing higher on the list than Final Fantasy VII.
I'm sure their opinion generated a lot of engagement
>>12776779Post all the list
And history has proven them right. The demake, which has replaced the original 7, is far worse than 8.
>>12776779I'm pretty sure FFVIII also sold better than VII in Europe.

Should've been number one.
The FF8 hate always came from secondaries. People loved it at the time and considered it at the very least on par with FF7. FF9 on the other hand was regarded as a disappointment and a backwards step, only for internet contrarians to later rehabilitate it.>>12776791https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/01/23/top-25-games-of-all-time-complete-listAlso, Wikipedia is WRONG as per usual and says the list is from 2002, when it's actually from mid-2000 as it's clear from the THPS section that THPS2 wasn't out yet when they compiled the list (it was released in September 2000).
