If they ever remaster FFVIII they need to do some big tweaks in the gameplay, anything else would be pointless.

Yes. We rarely got to use magic in FF8 because you couldn't use them. Magic was reserved for stats and keeping them was precious. The battle system was pretty much spamming summons until the end. There were some very nice Guardian Force animations though.

My memories of FF8 magic are only thanks to the final bosses because she would murder your GFs and force you to say: "Fuck it, I need to spend these spells because I got nothing else, it's the end of the game anyways so screw it."

I only ever used summons at the very start of the game because the strong magic draws weren't available yet. After that it's just about clever binding. No point in using GFs if your stats are maxed out by magics.
