Although I agree with the fact that many of FF8's characters were dull and emo I think that was sort of the intention of the writers. After all, the central characters were all teenagers and most of them acted very much like teenagers do. I prefer the characters from 8 tot eh ones from the likes of FF9 as they were much more realistic. You could argue that characters like Vivi were more "interesting" but personally I just saw characters like that as ridiculous. I do agree the characters could have been much betetr but I believe that the writers tried to make them emoish and whiney. I enjoyed a lot fo the story but it did veer off the rails towards the end and the main villain was a lso a disappointment.
