    I don't even waste time on Junctions anymore, I simply make auto-junction. :greenking
    It's much more easy and effective since it gives you the best magic according to the stats.
    Most of the time I don't even junction anymore, I find it much more challenging , if only a little...

    Try it out, you'll save time!

    I'd rather not have it mess up all of my carefully placed junctions. The only time I used the Auto feature was when I first played the game and didn't understand how it worked.

    It may do a better job than you could.
    It's because you're not used to it, after your 50th time you played the game, you'll know what I'm talking about... :greenking

    Unless you really think that it isn't 100% guarantied success. :evilking:

    Oh, by the way, I don't even Junction Magic in my PC version anymore.

    My manual junctions pwn the Auto feature, and also the game itself.

    Can you say the same? Didn't think so.
    Auto Feature will use the best juntion based on what you give, including Ultima, that should be used in elemental defence for 100% resist. And Also, the way it will junction will give you much better/same result in much less than half the time you would take just to junction them even when you know them all.
    HP: Full-Life (Whatever it needs to max it out)
    STR: Meteor/Flare (Whatever it needs to max it out)
    VIT: Meltdown (Whatever...)
    MAG: Meteor (Whatever...)
    SPR: Reflect (Whatever...)
    (Whatever...)
    Whatever...

    No, I can't say the same, because I don't have the PC version.

    Ultima is actually best suited for Str or Mag. There are alternative spells for elemental resist, plus it doesn't become necessary with decent Spr.

    I just tried Auto junctioning to see how much it fails, and I was right. It drastically weakened my Elm-Def, put Firaga on my Elm-Atk (big no to that), turned my Status junctions to crap (Bio as Atk and a bunch of weak, small-inconvenience statuses to Def), and weakened my Mag. The only stats it managed to raise were Spd (which I don't need since my ATB gauge fills in half a second anyway) and Eva (16% before - 27% after, which means I am still going to get hit either way). Manual junctions = win.

    The thing about Auto is that it doesn't really suit your status and elemental junctions. Auto is really nice, but I never leave it that way. Usually I use Auto, then tweak it to how I like it. I make up for it with the GF abilities :P

    I like to put Full-Life, Ultima, and any other two elements I want to absorb on Elemental Defense, Pain, Death, Beserk, and Confuse on Status Defense, and depending on where I am, Zombie or Slow on Status Attack. If I use Auto, a lot of those go to other places.

    Although Auto works for you quite nicely, it doesn't work for everyone. There is no "best" way. There are a lot of good ways.

    Blizzaga=win for elm atk?

    I played through the first two laguna dream sequences today and while my junctions were fine on the first one when you're on the train to timber and go to the hotel etc with julia, the second one failed, because ward=quistis and I didn't have her in my party!

    so ward started off with 100water and nothing else xD
