Final Fantasy 8, though beloved by millions of fans, definitely took a controversial step or two. It retained a lot of the elements that had become synonymous with the series, such as the ATB system and the ability to summon familiar beings like Shiva and Ifrit, but then added some more experimental mechanics on top.
The Junctioning system is one that has confounded players, as has the laborious Drawing of spells from enemies. It's a game that's easy for experienced players to 'break' and make rather trivial, but on the other side of the coin, it's one that newcomers may find difficult to get used to.
Even given its shortcomings, I found myself becoming deeply attached to the cast of characters and the minigame of Triple Triad, and the story is as engaging as I've come to expect of a Final Fantasy title (as curious as some of its twists and turns are).
