Topic	Why doesn't FF8 get as much love as FF7?
KyerWiz 11/16/20 3:17:48 PM #69:	The Popo posted... Care to point out the people saying that junctioning is complicated? I went through the whole topic and didnt see a single person say that they thought it was complicated. The closest to it was my post in which I said it confused some people and completely breaks the game for others. Complicated might have been an exaggeration. Unintuitive or complex might have been better? argonautweakend posted... I loved FF8 but it was a really messy game, from the battle system to the story, so it makes sense. gikos posted... disagree on the battle system i loved enemy's lving up along with me which forced me to play with the game mechanic's pros and cons but i get why pure rpg fans weren't happy about it and as for the story this was square soft still being clunky with their english translation plus the game being rushed (just like chrono cross and xenogears) Sheiky-Baby posted... As someone who loves customizing, and collecting, the draw/junction system was awesome. The Popo posted... Unlikable characters Junctioning confuses some people, breaks the game for others Junctioning makes magic more valuable if you never use it Earn money via salary Drawing magic GFs ruined our memories Cinderforge posted... First impressions are everything so they say... FF7 had a simple battle system that people understood without much explaining with an explosive opening that just had you in the action straight away. FF8 had a more complicated battle system that people didn't understand even after the whole first part of the game explaining it. It starts with you at school having some lessons. Very slow to get going. Personally I like 8 more, imo it's far less tedious to play than 7 (first part excepted) and the story is good (ok it's a bit silly at times but that's not unique for an FF is it?). The drawing magic and using GFs criticisms are overstated or just wrong. The music is very strong too, felt a bit more refined in a way (I guess because the instrument samples were better?). Overall I can see why people love 7 so much over 8, I think it has such a grand sense of scale, it felt epic. I'm not sure 8 conjures up that same feeling but it's still fantastic. <cite>KyerWiz posted [p:947241065] in Why doesn'...
