Topic	FF8 - When you don't understand the junction system
SpaceBear_ 04/04/21 5:11:07 PM #20:	ElatedVenusaur posted... I mean, the Junction system is fine: it's just not explained very well and it kind of runs counter to how you would think you want to play i.e. you actually just want to stockpile as much of the junctioned spells as possible. Everything else is a mess though. The level-scaling makes the game miserable, the plot is exceptionally dumb, and the world is dull and empty. Really, FFVIII is the PSX FF that needs a remake. There's just enough there that's interesting that you can imagine a redo and a fleshing out could put it in the conversation with VII and IX. Yeah, it's so threadbare and incomplete. It's absolutely inconceivable that, after all the world building and designs, the plot is just non existent and it's all just a tacked together love story with a character whose whole personality is disinterest. Needs a remake or a sequel or something. I don't get the hate for IX but whatever the reasoning at least it's a complete multilayered story with a satisfying ending. --- - God bless, downtime and TheSlinja.
