That is, unless you never learned how to properly use the Junction system. Those people were lucky. Because once you found out that you needed to basically Draw magic every two seconds, it lost it's fun. It was just TOO stat intensive and time consuming to really do something with it. If they had simplified the damn thing it might've worked better.
Also, unless you like love stories, the plot was pretty crappy. I also hated Ultemicia and her obsession with Mortal Kombat and Time "Kompression".

But, AP, just because a game is overrated doesn't mean it's bad. FFVII was overrated, but it's still a great game.
Anyway, 8 was good times for me. I think it was the first one I finished, simply because I didn't feel like taking the time to get a golden chocobo or massively leveling up my characters in 7. I particularly liked the junction system in 8, and the way it used magic you already had to boost your stats. I got the game and guide as a set for a birthday quite a few birthdays ago, around when it came out. I think I was one of the only people who had it on PC, and not Playstation. Same for 7 as well. Hmm.
And yes, time compression was when the game went downhill.

And Gumshoe, what did you think of the Junction system and that whole "having to get back magic you used, lest you lower your stats" thing? I wasn't really a big fan, as already stated above.

I know that overrated games arent bad but some people think all overrated games are horrible. I currently have Haol , Halo 2, and FF7 (i didnt bother finishing it, it was confusing)

True, that wasn't always the greatest, but I didn't use the awesome magics all that much. Triple I used a few times I suppose, to give my whole party aura. After that, I didn't really need anything except special attacks to take down anybody against me. But I found triple where I could, and tried to balance its use in my party.
Also, Triple triad was ridiculously fun. I refused to go any farther on disc three without getting all the player cards I could at the time.
Ah, sweet nostalgia.

I had played older FF games before (FF I-VI) So I wasn't alien to the series.

I really can't stand FF8. The draw system was obnoxious, until you got to the Heaven and Hell islands - than you could slap on some Tonberry, suck the islands dry, and never worry about needing magic again. It just wasn't enjoyable. And even when doing the Aura attacks and summoning you had to mash buttons when I just wanted to watch the pretty scene.
Not to mention much of the plot made no sense or was just ridiculous.
Though it does have one kick ass opening sequence. If only the rest of the game was as cool as it's CG~

Also, FF8 did have good optional bosses. Ever try beating Omega Weapon at level 1? It is possible!

And that's saying something.
FF tended to have some cruddy main characters in VII and VIII. Cloud and Squall were pretty terrible IMO.

And I'm a big fan of FF8, There was just so much to do. And all the neat features you get with the GF system. The only problem I had was that it was too easy if you knew what you were doing. I recall there is a spot near Timber where, if you grind for about 3 hours, you'll be at level 100. and this is at the first disc. Not to mention refining the cards to get 100 bones, refining them to quakes, and junctioning them to attack to make yourself rape face at disc one.
And Magic was kinda useless in that game. Unless you wanted to sacrifice your Ultima/Flare/Holy/Meteor spell for a high magic stat.

But yeah, it's been my favorite Final Fantasy game ever since. Unlike most people who scratched their heads over the Junctioning system and drawing magic, it really clicked with me. It was really easy to make strong characters with the attributes I wanted. The GFs and all the skills they could learn were fun too. Also, since enemy levels stayed in range with your character levels, there was no need to waste time power-leveling.
And don't get me started on Triple Triad, I could rave forever about that game. I wasted soooo much time on collecting all those cards. The plot wasn't paced well though, but I still liked the story more than most of the other games in the series. Nice music too. Good times. ( ^_^)b

I remember the first time I got to a draw point. I'm thinking, "Draw? As in sit down and sketch your surroundings? Oh, never mind, they want me to take the magic."
Compared to other Final Fantasy games, I didn't have that much use of the Gil I earned. I couldn't even buy weapons, but had to get materials and modify them.
