I love FFT with all of my heart, but all those instant, 100% chance to hit attacks later in the game drive me crazy. Especially that bitch Galfagarion's Night Sword. That dirty, dirty bitch. Did I mention that he is a bitch? Bitch.
Bah! Once you've gone through FFT twice, It's TOO easy... We need that attacks to mantain some challenge... And Night Sword is harmless compared to Loss from Velius, for example... Instant 100% petrification!
In FFT nearly all the spells are balanced, in the sense that the enemy has the same % of hit with the same spell as you, providing the same stats. I can actually land Death and Petrify! Wow! Frog is usefull!! Re-Wow!
This said, the most annoying spells are instant-death spells that works on my party 99% of the time, and 0'000001% of th time on the enemy (as in all regular FF's).

I have beaten FFT multiple times, three I think. Yeah, it is easy, but still, those instant spells make conventional magic almost pointless, since, besides being instantaneious, they don't respond to anti-magic spells like reflect, rendering those useless as well. Basically, FFT is extremely complex and tactically diverse in the beginning, but then becomes very simple in the end. In the middle of the game, there is a sweet spot of perfect playability, but it is fleeting.

Good things about FFVIII:
-Quistis Trepe (thebest FF character ever IMO)
-Laguna Loire was a cool and charismatic hero.
-The Pocketstation minigame rules!!!!
Hey! Stop derailing the topic!
I was just thinking about the "Bad Breath" spell. It has been in all the FF games I have played, but it is only really a threat in FFVIII and FFX. In those two games, it can end your little adventure damned quick. There's really no spell like it. I guess, besides some spells in FFT, like the assassins' sure-kill attack, and that bitch Galfagarion's Night Sword, Bad Breath is the worst. 'Course, you can steal it and use it as well with the Enemy Skill ability.
Yes, I've forgot about Bad Breath...
Encountering a Morbol in FFVIII without being prepared was nearly sure death. Even prepared well it was somewhat difficult (annoying).
And yeah, those assassins in FFT are a pain in the ass..assin...
Also, FFVIII is not bad. It's simply the least good FF, but still a fun game. It's good points, Rid has said them: Quistis, Laguna (with him as main character, the game would have been much better), and the beggining of the game.

bad breath was horrible
in ffviii, it was extremely tough to fight. i can't believe no one mentioned it in vii, or am i the only idiot that couldn't battle it easily? 
i remember telling my friends that those "huge green plant piles of crap" kept kicking my ass on the mountain in vii and they thought i was making it up because they never ran into it
hm, other than bad breath, i know this is a simple spell, but it annoys the hell out of me -- slow, or any spell that produces similar results. in pretty much every game, i rely on speed to win, and seeing my guy standing there, idle, for most of the battle drives me nuts
another spell that pissed me off was anything that "blew" you out of battle. god i hate it when my guys miss out on valuable experience because a monster blew them away or something similar. it's also annoying to get game over because two or three of your guys have been blown away and your last one couldn't finish the battle
