| Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy. |

Dream Sequence
Sooo how many of you liked the "Dream" parts of the game where you were with Laguna's crew? Did you like having to switch over your junctioned magic?

Nuuu they did my head in. They were ok storywise but I hated the length of them and all the faffing around with the junctions every bloody time. I hate the lunatic pandora! Drags on waaaay to much

I know what you mean. lol.
I think once your party had split and then you had fallen into the "Dream" state.
I chose a weaker party for the fun of it. Bahhh! Not good, Not Good at all. -___-;;

I liked Lagunas limit break but that s all I can say on the matter. I did find it stupid that you had the same junctions as your party in the wakey world.
I haven't played it in ages but I do remember a bit of a hassle in rejunctioning.

The first time I played, the dream sequences were confusing. I kept thinking that Squall and co would meet up with Laguna and co (the young ones).
It wasn't to hard to switch junctions, since Laguna always had Squall's.

Story linewise it was pretty kewl and an interesting way to bring acrooss that part of the story line. But yea the juntioning was a pit crap and they could have been a little shorter. They definetly amused me thou

I didn't like it at all. >.> Not that there was anything wrong with the dream sequence. I suppose I just got into the game so much that I became quite impatient whenever it would switch to Laguna's story because I really did wanna see what happened next with Squall, Rinoa, and everyone. The story was just too engrossing for me to even care about Laguna's part.
And I don't think I had any trouble with switching junctions. From what I remember, I didn't play too much with it during the dream part. I probably switched a few things here and there but nothing major, I'm sure - so it wasn't really a hassle at all.

I actually liked the dream sequence a lot. As a matter of fact, I liked Laguna, Kiros, and Ward better than most of the main party characters. It was a huge letdown however, when I later found out that they don't join your party in the end.
What a bummer...

I hated them, they just dragged on and on and on, and really weren't that interesting. And, I was barely interested in Squalls story, let alone another guys.

Actually, I really liked the dream sequences in VIII. Laguna, being an amusing form of comedic relief, was always a nice breath of fresh air compared to Squall and his various problems. I really enjoyed his interactions with Kiros and Ward - they were soo funny! I suppose I'm partial to Laguna, since he is my favorite character afterall. As for the things I didn't like: The junctioning, etc. That was the biggest annoyance for me.
