I love the junction system, one of the few systems were you can make the game as easy or as difficult as you want it to be.

The drawing part is the only bummer but cards can make it easier.

My favorite part of every VIII threads is someone always comes in with hot takes but clearly doesn't know how to play the game.

To be fair, I had no idea my first playthrough, that's where the challenge comes from. Now I know the game in and out it's so fun to break things with Triple Triad.

The real battle system is Triple Triad people. The sooner you realize that the better.

Honestly kind of disappointed with how it looks, it looks like they gave it a nice HD UI and left the assets very similar to the old PC version's clearer visuals.

I guess hoping for a remaster as thorough as FFX's (minus some of the NPC's) was just wishful thinking.

It was definitely something I learned to appreciate as I got older. Last time I tried playing the game I did a low-level playthrough.

Refine it. There is almost zero reason to ever draw magic. Items can be turned into magic as well as cards.

the best part is that the game has a built-in tutorial that covers EVERYTHING about the game

but hey i guess ignoring tutorials was hot shit even back in '99

So happy. I mean realistically FF8 deserves the full remake treatment, but I'll be in retirement by the time they get around to that, if ever.

I just hope they redo the backgrounds.

I don't think tutorials cover level scaling? Not that it's necessary, but I think a lot of people got caught in the "I can just grind for levels!" trap that makes the game harder.

But yeah the junction system is very clearly explained, as are GF abilities and from there if you don't look into refining and card mod, I can't help you.
