The impeccable junction system -- which is far-reaching and semi-complex, almost to a fault -- is just too dang easy to slant in the player's favor, even in the first few hours (Degenerator?). I can respect how much influence it has in the game, and how well-executed it is, but like sentiments already stated, I'm glad it hasn't seen further use within the series. Then again...anything would be better than boring ATBness.
