I love how your guys in FF8 get sent on a mission to go kill that sorcerous.  There's none of that "ooh, we may have to fight her someday" or "I hope we don't get hurt if we run into her" crap.  It was so refreshing for me when the game told me, more or less in these words:

  Go kill her.  The sniper will assassinate her, the rest of the group must protect him.  If the sniper fails, everyone must engage her in an all out assault.

Sweetness baby!  Excuse me, I have to go try and kill some b!tch.
