If FFVIII came out before FFVII, would it be the most beloved Final Fantasy today?

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
There are lots of people working with the cast in VIII, they don't become party members but the whole of Garden is working to defeat Galbadia/Ultimecia. Its really a team effort.

Exactly.

And who brings them all together, united and ready to fight like a true, respected leader should? Squall.

Cloud on the other hand shows zero leadership abilities, he's a train wreck for most of the game, and his best attempt at "rallying the troops" is near the end when he says to his team "Let's mosey". LMAO

Just watched a 15 hour FF7 100% speedrun. What a great game ;_;7 FF8 wouldn't have been more beloved if it was first, assuming everything was the same.
