I did this too. I think I only JUST made it too. But yeah, that's game time. In real time, it took me like 6 months because it drove me absolutely insane whenever I random-encountered. Boss fights were a bitch too.

I replay FF8 the most out of all the games and I could probably speed run it if I wanted. It's definitely the easiest one to do it on, but it depends on how you want to tackle it. I have two ideas:
1) Don't learn Enc-None. Level up naturally and draw good magic from monsters as they level up too. This cuts out the big time-wasters of Triple Triad and Card-ing.
2) Learn Enc-None. And play Triple Triad just enough to get Abyss Worms and refine them into Windmills and refine those into Tornados. It makes for an above average Str junction that you can get early game and most likely, go through the entire game with. Junction to Squall or Zell, keep them in low health and ignore all other junctions. Maybe learn Initiative later in the game.
