A lot in the beginning of, but when I start outdamaging them with regular attacks, no.

people always (from what I've seen) seem to talk about always having to use GF's- and you don't only very little at the beginning of the game. And you don't even need to then as if you just play cards and you've fought a little (alright using them a little is good) you can junction so that attack does more very, very early into the game. So I have usually utterly stopped using them (except to watch the beautiful graphics) before the first Laguna scene, as the enemies their give you aereo and tornado if you use GF abilities. The problem with doing this is bosses are too weak.

I can deal 2k damage to x-atm092 with Quezacotl, I'd like your regular attack outdamaging that without insane junctions.
I never said I was dependent on it, I just said it can be more effective in the beginning of, especially agaist enemies with elemental weaknesses.

I used to use them all the time. Now i swap GF for Item in the menu screen and never use them, only to see the animations :D

First few playthroughs (Or attempted play throughs, i still haven't beaten the game) all I used were GF for every battle, boss battles, regular battles, I never used normal attacks because I couldn't figure out the junction system, and I still wouldn't call myself a master. I was fully dependant on them.

I use them, my favourite is Cactrot because it's attack is quick yet powerful.

My first playthrough I used them way too much, but the second time thruogh, I rarely used them. Except for Cactuar because he's too cute, and Cerberus because he's more useful.

Cerebrus was useless to me because I never used magic. I used the GFs to attack a lot now that I think about it.

i use gfs mostly with my other two characters, and squall does the attacking and magic...
this is because i deck out squall through each of my players (always on accident, tho) and so he's hella strong but the other characters are WEAK, so i just make them use their gfs and maybe cure.

the first time i played up to the end of disk two, i used GF's all the time, but when i started again i barely used them and didnt seem to notice that i stoped using them.

I use them because (let's face it), they look bad@$$ as hell. Of course, using them constantly can get annoying, but I use them fairly frequently.

I think It'd be hard to find many people who won't use GF's to attack. Besides. What else will their purpose be??

i only use GFs for junctioning and summon them only once in non important battles to know what they look like and do.

I usually swing Ifrit by his tail and smack the enemy with his horned bonce.

quick yet POSSIBLY powerful, remember the damage is a fixed amount so likely never AMAZING.

i use GF quite a lot because they ARE decent enough attacks to be honest arent they? (ahem Eden ahem) i mean they block damage too in a manner of speaking they just take the damage, just remember that when you fight Omega Weapon a GF is the only way (unless you use "The End") to prevent dying from Omegas attack "Terra Homing" they have theyre uses, mostly for junctioning, i remember at the end of one of my game si had everyone with a junction for everything (i mean element attack / defence x4 and status attack / defence x4) except squall didnt have hit-j because he never misses :p

it all dpends on strategy.my strategy is use good junctions and just attack.i hardly even use magic and if you get 99 megalixirs from bahamuts card you just need to use one of them every now and then.

You can just use "Defend" and you can survive Terra Break. Anyway, I hardly summon GF at the end of the game when you have good junctioning and all this.

BTW, why not put all of them in one post instead of triple post?
