FF8 had the best battle system in a FF game - who agrees? (junctions ruled)

If anything, this video of Omega Weapon is proof enough that the gameplay in FF VIII is broken.

And when all you have to do to prevail in battle is spam your limits, it really shows how shallow the gameplay truly is.

 

 

Note: I did beat Omega Weapon using that same method.  Boring as hell.

I found the actual build up and preperation for the battle vastly exciting, and again, as always, the minigames for the limit breaks excite and enthrall me. Taking this single fully optimized battle as "proof" for anything is insufficient. Omega is the final battle in the game, for people stat maxing. It's supposed to require ALL of your abilities to win, and indeed if you make one mistake you simply won't win. It's all in the preperation, and the journey, therein lies the fun.

Broken my ass. I had a better time with the gameplay in VIII than all of the games this gen combined. Working as intended.
