FF8 is not realistic besides the graphics that were good for its time. Sci-Fi?  Sure, there was a whole deal with space and all, but Sci Fi? (Isn't Sci-Fi a fantasy?)
FF8 is a good game. Everyone just expected to be a revolutionary FF7, and in my opinion, FF7 is a piece of over rated trash. Way too over rated.
I liked it, but not as much as 9.
I didn't like drawing magic from FF8, but I hated the Materia system in FF7.
And what is the deal with everyone and Squall? 
He may have been a dick in the beginning of the game, but he changes. FF8 did a good job showing that metamorphosis. He was realistic in a sense... when it came to life at least..
Why did I even bring this up?

methinks someone is starting to like FF8
I agree with you almost entirely. FF7 is a very good game and always will be, but its way over rated. FF9 was great, i really enjoyed that game. I also loved FFX, which some people dont seem to like....
But FF8 was also great. It was a different change of pace. I dont know why some people hate Squall, hes one of the coolest RPG characters ever. His personality was more realistic i thought, instead of saying like "yeah, come on everyone!! lets go save the world from terrible destruction!!!", he was more like "wutever, i dont care about the world, someone else can save it." thats more of an attitude i would have in his situation, reaslisticly people dont jump at the chance of fighting horrible evil to save a planet.
so, yeah....FF8 was cool
