I really hated FF8's junction system....so much so that I quit the game after ifrit..that and the timing on the critical hits for all the moves aside from squalls made things just too tedious for me. FF7 is overrated as hell, but its gameplay system didn't' feel so tedious and overcomplicated that it turned me completly away from the game....FF9 is one of the greatest ff games ever made, and is *THE* greatest original(not counting the remakes of ff6) ff game on the ps1.
