ff8... Sorry to defend this game, but did ppl play it all the way thru? Did ppl use the junction system to teh max?

I think the Junction system was brilliant and made you think alot. I think that was the problem... ppl liked materia where you can equip and level it up. Where as junction was alot to muck around with. I spend alot of my time in ff (ff7 -ff12) playing/planing the system be it materia, junction or the board style.

FF8 had alot ot offer. ie introduced the card games, GF (summons) leveling up where you could allocate skills for them to learn. And who could remember the time at Fishermans Horizon where you had the mini game where you made the Balamb Band. :D

I love the draw system, and getting the ingredients for remodeling your weapons.

And the story. Was brilliant. it had it all. Drama, backstabbing, conspiracy, flashbacks, time shifting, romance, anger, fun, joy etc. IT was by far the most mature of the ff realm.

I like Squall... because he was in a position he didn't want to be. He didn't want to be the protagonist, he didn't want to save the world, he just wanted to be himself and not be involved with drama. But he is put in this position that challenges him to fight his inner demons and think about other's. H is a very interesting character, who I think can identify with alot of ppl.

I think it comes down to a few things why ppl dislike ff8.

A) Junction system is too hard. Not materia.
B) Storyline. I think maybe the romance side?
C)Squall is not cloud.
D) not ff7

So, I really wonder if ppl played the game. I guess not everyone, Got...the game. But to me, it is my all time favorite (I played it 3 times), and it has some much to offer. I know there are alot of ppl that feel the same. I personally would give the game a 9. because it was great for it's time and gfx where awesome. There were some slow bits, but it's an rpg so it's just the norm. IF you do play ff8 give it a chance with an open mind. Plz play with the junction system... It becomes addictive once you understand it as it develops thru the game.
