I only ended up finishing it when I was about 11 years old due to various complications but hey-ho.

To be honest, I haven't played as many as I would like to have played. I've played VII, VIII (didn't like at all), TA, T:WotL, X-2, VII: DoC (crap game!) as well, and I owned XII but lost when I moved out of my old house before I got a chance to play it. I was gutted. I'd like to buy more, but I'm poor. But hey, at least I'm not rioting in the streets London about it.
I have an extra copy of XII. I already had one and I went to buy the strategy guide on eBay, but I barely noticed after I had already paid that it was the GAME and not the guide and I just didn't look over the product carefully enough.

Anyway, like you, I didn't like VIII. I mean, even though the only main playable characters I really liked were Squall and Rinoa, I was able to tolerate the whole cast. But it was the whole battle/junction system that really just turned me off. Well, that and the fact the story started to bore me about halfway through.
