FFVIII wasn't that great in my opinion, i never got to far into it, the story just failed to grab my attention.
and i too finished FFVII without dying and the such
but i finshed the game with lvl 90 people, mainly because i went thru and did everything in the game,
kileld al lthe weapons, got everyones best weapons, unlocked the secret characters (yuffie and vincent)
and had most of my materia mastered
so needless to say i kicked ass, and you cant loose the battle against Safer Sephiroth (the 2nd alst sephiroth, the one b4 cloud and his ultimate showodwn)
at leastr as far as i know you cant, cause my characters always automatically came back to life =S and i didnt have auto life (if there was that in the 7th)
one of the best games in the series.
I hope you didn't die on Sephiroth at level 90... I was 60 and did it on the first time 
By the way, I have like 10 hours played into FFVIII right now...
I like it 
What I like is the way you can customize all your characters and your GFs.
At the opposite of you... the story really hooked me up lol even though I don't know all the characters pretty well...
I have Ifrit, Quezacotl, Shiva and Brothers Gf (looks like I already missed one
there is a blank line in my list).... I'm in the Galbadia President's City looking the kill the Sorceress.
I still don't know if Seifer is dead and... I find it attractive 
By the way, can someone explain me how to upgrade weapons... I don't understand
