I liked it, it was a relief not having to waste a turn just to down a ether.

I thought it worked well with the game. If there was a draw system in FF XI for example, i wouldnt have liked it, but for me the draw system fitted well with VIII.

Actually, it was something rather unique about FFVIII. The magic may
not have been that strong, but you didn't have to waste money or time
to learn magic. Only thing you had to do was draw it from an enemy
and thats it.

Junctioning was stupid.
It made the game toooo easy.

draw skill + magic junction .... I just love that system.

I loved the Junction system. Not only did you not have to waste time leveling up or waste money, but it was something different and unique. As others have pointed out, it works well for the game. It also made it so that everyone had an equal chance of learning all the spells rather than designating one person and having that one person be the only one who can learn certain spells.

And I understand what you mean Yuffie. I didn't even know about Siren or Alexander till I stumbled across the info. somewhere by chance

The draw system was ok. I liked the materia system better but it's ok.

i totally agree. i hated it when you went into a shop on ff7 and saw a materia that you liked/needed but you didnt have the money, you would hav e to either fight to get more gil or sell valubles like weapons and so on and that got fustrating.

I heard mixed stuff, some ppl enjoyed the Draw system, cause it added more difficulty to the game.

I personally hated the Draw system, cause like most of the time i would draw nottin or fail in drawing adding another 30 mins to my game play

You know i completely agree with you on that! it was a complete waste of time to add such a ridiculous system. your chances were random pending on your luck... but in the begining you cant really RAISE YOUR LUCK IN THE FIRST D@M PLACE! i think that they couldve made a different way to get those "certain" GFs. It was so STUPID

I loved the draw magic system, it make leveling up not as important as gathering the right combination of spells and getting your GFs and their abilities mastered. There's something to be said about a game where you can hit 99 and kill the final boss in a few hits. FFVIII was still a challenge to the end even with all the uber spells and high levels. It definately is my third fave ff game, after FFT and FFIV of course. The system was a good change of pace.
