Personally, I absolutely LOVE the junction system, and the story was well made but I somehow find it a little odd near the end(I only made it to Adel I think), but I think that the first disk(minus Laguna flashbacks) was really really good and fun. The second disk was well made(minus the district prison and the same looking floors) and is also very good! I don't like how Rinoa become the sorceress however, and I really hate the orphanage scene, with the team at the basketball court

Triple Triad is a really fun game, and the many other sidequests, such as Odin's and the research facility, are extremely well made, and also very fun.

I do not, however, like the leveling system. Although I am not completely against the "Mosters leveling with you" design, I do wish that being a low level would still make it harder, and you would have to both level and junction correctly to be strong throughout the game.
