FF8 had a broken Limit Break system that made it too easy. I thought Junctions was a cool concept that involved a healthy amount of pre battle thinking and experimenting, but again the game was too easy, so you really didn't need to utilize it manually. Another flaw in Junctions is that it discouraged/limited using magic in battles.
I thought draw system was alright in that it made the game feel more challenging than it is. But the slow combat made it a bit of a chore.
I still thoroughly enjoyed FF8 despite these flaws, it helped that I was a dumb and inexperienced RPG gamer. But even after I returned to it many years later on PS3, I still had a lot of fun replaying it.
