The irony of that is people will complain that Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 2 are dumbed down because they don't let you change each individual stat, yet here Final Fantasy 8 comes along letting you change every stat (albeit after leveling up your GF) and it gets slammed for it. Your elemental defense you can set, your elemental attack you can set, your HP you can set, your luck you can set, you can junction HP+80%, Str +20%, etc. The flaw though is all of this has to be done through leveling up your GFs, learning their refine abilities and refining the str+60% and the vit + 60%s etc and you have to grab all your magics and refine them higher, which brings us to the next complaint. |
Did you not find it made the game too easy though? As soon as I figured out how the system worked, I breezed through the rest of the game. Stock up as much magic as possible and junction it to the desired stats. The game didn't feel like it was truly built around this system and didn't take advantage of it as much as it could have.
