That's basically it. There were parts I didn't like, such as the junctioning, but other things were good enough where it didn't make me hate the game. There were a lot of sidequests, The R1 trigger for a critical hit(well i wouldn't call it a critical, but whatever) was kind of neat. It kept you focused on the battle instead of just watching TV and mashing X all the time. The limit breaks were really sweet IMO, there was several for every character. Some characters were really cool as well I think. GF's learn different abilities/bonuses through experience/points/w.e which your character gets to use (I remember recover being so imba with leviathan(i think was its name)). There was ultima weapon and such that I wanted to beat so bad. I kept getting stronger and recruiting secret GF's until I was able to do so. The SeeD level was kind of cool, you get a constant flow of cash based on quizzes and some other things. I also remember the island closest to heaven/hell as well and the insanely strong monsters there. (marlboros and t-rexes in particular, sooooooo fucking hard to kill) It just felt like an addicting game because of things like that. I guess I just really liked it because it was so addicting in that sense.

What did you like about it? I didn't like the gameplay mechanics at all. Like, it punished you for leveling up, and Junctioning was too easily abused. I more or less couldn't stand any of the playable characters. The plot itself was good in parts early on, but after you confronted Edea for the first time, it became a joke IMO.
However, from my experience, FF8 is normally a "love it or hate it game", and lots of the things I cite as bad, other people like. Meh.

I strongly disagree. FFVIII was fucking awesome IMO. It was not my favourite FF(probably 3, 9 or 10 was) but it was one of the top ones.

As an RPG fan myself, how can anyone vote for FF8 over the other games in that poll? FF8 was one of the worst RPGs I've ever had the misfortune of playing.
