Don't even get me started to how overpowered it is once you hit end-game lol. The materia system was one of the best. Though it too had it's downsides once you got later into the game. Especially once everyone had 8 slot weapons (yea they had no growth but there were stacked 2 and 3x growth weapons that were still pretty strong). Going through Crisis Core since I got it I'm really starting to love it more and more.

Sorry to word it this way but maybe you weren't that good at FFVIII, which is why you don't see how overpowered that system was. It was a good concept but it didn't have the limitations it needed. You could turn every character into god. You could do that in FFVII too, of course. It wasn't the same as FFVIII. In VIII even with basic magic you could ascend your characters to an unreal status. VII however you didn't achieve that until closer to the end of the game and even then you had to put extra effort into it in finding all the proper materia. Even then you were still limited because you needed to master a materia to give it to other people which required a lot of grinding. The only magic that was limited I can think of in FFVIII was ultima. Everything else that was "rare" was easy to find or not worth junctioning.

I've known so few people who even liked the game. I think because it's so story driven with less action and huge swords and spikey hair and that stuff. And because it was so romantically themed and it gets pretty mushy in parts. That's partly what I liked about it. That, and how much I identified with Squall at the time. At that time in my life we were very much the same. I would say I more closely resemble Laguna nowadays. And I don't think I've ever been more genuinely concerned for a character's well being as when Rinoa is marooned in space and is about to die. And yeah, the junction system was cool, I liked being able to focus on a particular stat like that. Plus I like when there's a lot of hidden dialogue and other stuff like that. You can see that a lot of programming went into the game. I sometimes like to go out of my way to see hidden stuff like that just out of respect for the people who took the time to put it there. And the graphics were amazing, especially for the PS1, and it was cool the way they integrated the FMV into the real time gameplay. I thought it was a bit ahead of the curve for back then.

That's like the only thing I didn't like about VIII.
It lacked the simple RPG concept.. If you want to you can spend hours leveling up, then beast through the rest of the game, VIII prevented that, but at the same time gave us something similar that was even more powerful... Quote:
It is pure turn based strategy, you hit me, I hit you. As long as you're not a little kid it's almost impossible to get stuck on something... and if all else fails, use cheer a couple turns... it also has the easiest final battle ever, you're auto-auto-lifed (hope you got that), you can't mess that up..  Microsoft is making computer's just like air conditioners; they work properly until you open WINDOWS.

Personally, I think FFVIII was the hardest for some reason. I had a had time with the final battle. I agree that X was the easiest, though.
As far as a system, I'm not sure what my favorite was. I think FFVII is a bit too complicated and takes a little too long to level up the materia. The Junction system just really got on my nerves. I guess I would have to say X, IX, and XII were my fave systems, since they are all different and good, and it just depends on my mood for which I think is best at the time.

FFX is thusfar, my favorite. It makes me cry so hard. But, I think FFX-2 is possibly the easiest FF I've ever played. I'm also replaying it because I got a 98% in the game and I want 100%. Though, it's my third time around playing, it was easy the first time. FFVII... It's great, but it's sometimes hard. I have trouble because of my PS2 dying to play it, but I'm stuck at a boss right now anyway... So no biggy. FFVII:CC is fun. I like it a lot because Zack is so cute... FFXII, which I'm also replaying, has been the hardest for me so far. I got halfway through the game, stuck, and now I'm replaying it and overleveling. ~Yuna7780

I think that certain people are skilled at certain types of things. I may not be good at FFVIII, but there are other games at which I am very skilled. I don't need you to throw off on me when you have never even seen my performance.
The Square Enix party is next week, I believe. I heard they are supposed to have a big announcement concerning FFVII. I have a feeling that it's not the FFVII remake, though. What do you guys think?
