Call me crazy but I love the junction system and the GFs and how they relate to the games world and story.

I laughted at you saying you dont loose on triple triad anymore, wait till you get some very screwed up rules and start loosing to completly worthless junk cards.

Refresh my memory here, what are the events at the end of disc 1 ? I think its the one Im thinking but if I say and it isnt itll spoil it for you.

Also have you played FF X, cause if you havent you should after IX, its anothe one that divides opinions but I also love it.

You know, maybe that is why FF6, 7 and 8 are held in such high regard sometimes, because the magic system's revolve around the world and visa versa. FF6, you learned magic from summons, FF7 the story revolved around Materia in general and FF8 without GFs you wouldn't have abilities. All very well done and intergrated. Even 9 (summons and trance) and 10 (summons) being keys to the story. 12 and 13, the 2 games people generally don't like didn't have this connection (ignoring 12 was a fantastic game and 13 was just bad for everything but graphics).

I hated Triple Triad when I played a 'random' would get added to rules in a new region, I basically reloaded a save. I've lost good cards to that.

End of Disc 1: You try and kill Edea.
