Not true, but if you spend your time on getting stronger items then you deserve to get them which isn't a crime and plus the level of each enemy will be always in your level's range which makes things not easier (apart from some, I forget which), so I don't see how is that ridiculously powerful? Unless you've used a memory hacking device.

It's clunky because standing around drawing magic for about ten minutes each time a new spell comes up is beyond tedious.
I never pretty much draw off monsters a lot, I only draw off draw points which is enough for me. If I need to draw off monsters, in that case which I did, I didn't see how was that tedious as it only took around 1 min to get full numbers. You don't only have to draw in order to get those magic, you can even convert from stones to draw magics by using GF abilities.

I prefer FF8 not fully because of the battle system but it has got a great story and characters behind the story. The story is very debating which I found very fascinating and more interesting than DQ3.
