Final Fantasy 8 as a kid- Used summons the whole game, never upgraded equipment or drained spells. Totally gimped myself on disk 4.

This is how you play FF8 to a point. Early game you use summons loads because it deals massive damage compared to poking enemies with Attacks, then when you do get powerful magic, junction it to attack and attack them. If you use the magic, you decrease your attack so you don't use the magic.

Early on though I never understood the importance of GF abilities and making them learn certain things first for things like convert items/cards, if you just leave it to do it automatically it may not even learn some abilities. This makes the game so much easier. Plus Aura, Meltdown combo makes every fight easy.

 

On topic, I was thinking and couldn't remember a single instance but then I remember FF7, I was leveling up characters for ages but what I didn't realise is that one of the weapons I had on didn't level Materia, I didn't understand it back then so I leveled up characters loads but never materia they had on them.

I had no magic linked and I never drained anything, never upgraded my weapons so I had no limit breaks, and at the time thought summons were the coolest thing.

 

By the time I got to disc 4 (which is impossible to beat without any upgrades besides leveling your character as the game levels with you), summons alone could not get me through.  I am pretty sure doing it my way was conpletely wrong lol.

 

Also towns were locked in disk 4 if I remember correctly, because when I figured out the limit break exploit I thought I could just upgrade my stuff on disk 4 and get the better limit breaks I had my hopes crushed when I came to realize this fact.  The game literally broke for me.
