Most Powerful combat system - junction etc

Junction was terrible to me. My life in FFVIII was something like this:

*random encounter*
>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>
Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>
Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard>>Draw:blizzard

then...

>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>
Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>
Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure>>Draw: cure.

etcetc...

Then a few levels later...

>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>
Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>
Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga>>Draw: blizzaga

and in the end all the boss fights were too easy. WAY too easy.

FFVI's runic and esper, Genji Glove + Offering was powerful but then you get offering quite late in the game.

So I have to go for Junction. TOO powerful.

EDIT: Fixed table stretch. -Murder

*looks at all the spells that Edgar wrote :eek:*

............i'm.....just gonna....go play it myself.

why didnt you just refine the higher magics Edgar, it only takes a couple of minutes and saves on drawing

I think I'll go with a tie for FFVII and FFVIII (though I've yet to play V).
VII clearly has the most options and is probably the most creative, but this really only applies in finding better ways to take out the Weapons, you can kill everything else easily before you've developed your materia too the right extent.
VIII just rewards knowledge so much. Put a novice VIII player and an advanced player in front of the game for a few hours and the difference in their parties will be ridiculous. The hours spent developing characters that would even out players is almost completely removed.

So VII wins in full on power, VIII wins on speed and practicality.

im strangly finding FFX2 very powerful and simple, due to the mass of power both defensive and offensive you can use when combineing multiple garment grids, there abilitys and that of the easily masterd dresspheres
