Is ff8 hard to play, I'm used to ff7(original) and I'm afraid of the junction system. Also, does the story make sense, I heard it didn't.
but ff7 story doesn't make sense either...
you're afraid of the junction system because of a LOT OF DUMBIES trashing out again and again the system
the junction system is basically using a gf so you can command an ability like "item" "draw magic" and using "magic"
basically all you have to do is junctioning shiva, queza and ifrit to your threee characters and you already have all the command to pass by the game with no problem
there isn't a drama at all, it's easy and kinda fun, they are just too dumb for this, bunch of doomers
2) as for "draw" you can draw magic from the enemies and even guardian forces from them, but if you don't want to use the 3x speed, you can use the boost to draw 99 magic, don't worry you're not cheating at all
I actually never draw magic but I cast on them instead because I love playing triple triad and I can mod magic like this
3) learning your gf abilities is mega easy, you open "junction" tab and click on a designated ability like "card" command for example, when fighting enemies you get ap, and you are familiarized about this because of ff7 so ok, when you master the "card" command, you can use it to transform enemies into cards while fighting them, get it? as for modding magic, some gfs will have a ability for this and using a item, you can mod magic, but gf quezacoatl has a "card mod" after you learn the card command, you can mod magic from the cards you get while playing triple triad which is very op
you can per example, mod 100 tornados at the beginning of the game, squall will basically kill everything
so in my point there isn't confusion at all or hard, it can be pretty smooth
4) also when you level up, the monsters will level up with you, having high magic on their draw but now that you know how to junction, this isn't a problem at all
5) while having "magic" you can junction this magic on your attributes like atk per example for squall so he can smack, magic so he can cast powerful magic, vitality for defense, spirit for magic defense and then there is the "elemental magic", you can junction fire on your so you can give more damage on enemies weak to fire per example
6) you're familiarized with status ailments so there isn't too much to say, you can junction status magic like blind on your sword and the enemy will be blind, like per example, you have 100 blinds, there is a 100% fized chance you WILL apply blind on them
7) the story isn't confused at all, they just did an acid trip at the end of disc 2 but that was just to give the other characters more ground cos the game would be too squall and rinoa, it's a love story that evolves time and space, love is something that trancends those aspects and that's why I love this game so much
now, if you don't want to give a chance, then play clair obscur expedition 33, it's mega fun and they love ffviii
there is a thing I need to tell you, if you don't like triple triad, this isn't your tea to gag at all, this game is mega fun with triple triad and if you don't like it, then basically 60% of the game will become hard dead for you
