You know, playing every Final Fantasy games out almost, FFVIII was probably one of the ones I hated the most, honestly, the junction system was just terribly made, having to go around capturing magic from monsters just to never use it unless you wanted to hurt your character stats and the broken summon powering system and the fact that you had to earn your money after spending a certain amount of time in the game was just plain annoying.
The junction system was made simply for one purpose- re-playability. Every previous Final Fantasy game up to that point forced you to do a bit of power leveling to get through a certain boss and whatnot. The JS was not meant to be picked up and mastered through your first play-through, it just gave the veterans a different route to navigate in their re-runs through the game.

"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you- stand, Men of the West! "

I was a big FF fan back in they day, the intro to this game was fantastic, and the graphics blew me away (for the time), but the story, characters, and battle system pale in comparison to the other FF's (seven being my fav), the main character is some moody goth/emo guy, that all of a sudden decides he is in love and starts giving a shit, The bad guy is some witch who you don't hear about until 5 minutes before you beat the game, and the game's battles system depended heavily on summons, which all had great animations but they get old the 100th time you've seen them, and there was no way to fast forward though them. Almost all the FF games are great or atleast good, I am not saying 8 was a bad game it just isn't as good as the others.
But, in FF7 the bad guy looks like a chick and wears a dress and wants to destroy the world/human race and remake/repopulate it with his mother B-)
