I am just curious about people’s taste here, since this community looks sane compared to other “loony-toons” gaming subs or forums online.

You don’t need to explain yourself just name them.

Thanks

      The story is genuinely something special.

      and, while I love the magic/junction system, I can understand the other opinions about it.

      the only complaint I have about it is the enemy infinitely scaling with your level, which really fucked me cause I’m a grinder that likes to be overpowered, which i never got to be in FF8 lol

        I love how Draw/Junction is intrinsically connected to the plot instead of simply being a gameplay conceit. But yes, it’s poorly explained and easy to break or underutilize and kinda ruin your experience.

        It is weird that the enemies scale with the character levels but not the GF levels, so you can grind AP instead of XP and become overpowered (or the opposite and make the game hard as shit). I’d add “the story gets rushed in the final chapter” as a complaint. I don’t mind that it’s weird or ambiguous, Disc 4 just feels like they ran out of time (ironic). That and there isn’t any really challenging fights if you take full advantage of Card Mod and Status junctions.

          Triple Triad… a minigame so good it should have been a stand alone game.

          It should be a real card game. It’d be the one card game I got into if it was real.
