This question has been floating in my head for some time now! "Would you give up some of your memories in order to gain power?"
If they knew this and the Ultimecia threat wasn't there would they have junctioned?
I'd also like to know what other people would do if they had the choice...
 
Hmmmm..... I don't really know, that IS a good question. I would have to say Yes because I forget everything anyway lol :)
 
My memory is so poor i doubt it would make that much difference, although the risk of it being worse....? I think id take the power and keep a diary, Selphie style, or get someone else to do it because Id forget.....

Same here, id do it and keep a diary. But then only if there was some reaon why i needed that much power I suppose... power for the sake of it in exchange for my memories doesnt seem that good a deal.

Good question though
 
I would gladly Sacrifice my memories if it involved me getting the power to protect my friends, Family and loved ones (that i could remember) from ANY threat that came along, even if it wasn't the Ultimecia threat then there could be the risk of the world breaking out into war and then i would be forced to defend them.
 
Interesting thread! I have an excellent memory....if i had a record of all of my most precious moments, sure, I'd take the power...but only if I felt I truly needed it.
 
I'd like to say that I'd prefer to focus on my own strengths and depend on my own abilities instead of having to call in Plan B (summons) to get the job done most of the time. I would rather have my memories than my GF's I'd say.

Sure GF's are there when you need them (All-State insurance), but using your memory to focus on the goal at hand and juicing up your own character traits and skills is probably more beneficial in the end.
 
I can just imagine the effect of using all the GF at once...

Friend:Hey! How about those 20$ you owe me?
Me:Yeah, sure, here you go...
Friend (5 secs later): Hey! How about those 20$ you owe me?
Me:Yeah, sure...
LOL

Mod Edit

Please stay on topic. Would you exchanged your memories for the GF's Power?

Depends if i could choose which memories i could erase then it would be a definite yes, but i have a lot of good memories also which i wouldnt want to forget. But then again memories are all in the past so is it important to want to remember something that is behind you? hm im not sure what id choose.
 
memory, is an equal of soul, the personality depends of it, if you lose your memories, you are not what you really are.
anyway, i would junction with eden and conquer this world muajajaj
 
I probably only junction with a gf to gain power if i was in a situation where it was absolutely necessary for survival for myself and others. plus junctioning for short periods of time shouldn't have much of an effect on your memory so if i am very careful about it, it shouldn't really be an issue.
 
it depends if the situation called for that much power in the first place really. But if it was just a normal everyday time, i wouldn't even think about it, though my memories aren't that precious to me, they are still mine. However if i needed it, and there was a dire situation that i needed to dissolve, then i would jump in without a second thought and use the power of the GF.
 
This is a really good question!
But sacrificing my memories for a GF summon would depend on alot of mitigating circumstances. For one, if it was here in this space and time and I was the only one with a summon then I think that I may be more inclined to accept. There is a lot of bad crap going on in this world and if I could do something to help lessen tensions then that would be great. But on the flipside, how many people would try to kill you and be scared of you. They may even turn on you because in all reality you would be an outcast with a very rare ability. It would be nice to have alot of power and another being (summon is an actual life form???) to be able to depend on and trust. Plus how neat would it to actually feel like your living in a fantasy, a small escape from crappy reality!

However, it would be like having a form of alzheimers really. Slowly you will forget things, important things. Its not like you can choose which memories get erased, they just do. It would be quite sad. You could lose your memories of people and things that you love and it would greatly impact those around you.
 
@ Areala
Hm...I guess you're right...
The only people who would actually LIKE using GF are the ones who want to forget who they were and sacrifice everything so they can become something more, something they could never become otherwise...
...
...you'd be surprised how many people like that are in the world...
 
Well seeing as my memory is shot anyway, I'd go with the GFs. Even if I had a memory like a steel trap memories are just memories they're the past why focus on the past at all? The past isn't important it already happened let sleeping dogs lie. As for the future it ain't happen yet so screw it. All that matters is right here right now. I couldn't exactly forget what I am doing at the present moment since I am doing it. So ya memories? Who needs em. Plus sure as hell be easier to take over the world with a GF than an army lol.

Interesting thread, here. In the real world, I'd probably rather keep my memories than gain power (if we're speaking realistically, I'd rather give up the chance to be President in return for my nostalgic memories, for example). In the FFVIII world, I'd probably take the GFs because I'd obviously need to fight to protect myself from the monsters that decide to stroll into my town every other day and GFs are the only way to go about getting stronger. :gmonster:
 
If i had the choice to not lose my memories i wouldn't junction the GF i'd fight without them. But, if just like the FFVIII characters, and you didnt know it was actually making you lose your memories than i'd choose to junction, because you didn't actually know in the first place.
 
memory is what makes up the heart, and they are the most beautiful part of life, because over time, the pressure of all of life, presses the coal memories into beautiful diamonds

so FUCK POWER, give me my memories
 
Some memories you could perhaps do without. Certain painful moments you would rather not remember. but I would probably take the choice of power, if it helped to defend people you care about.
