I'm about halfway through Disc 3 (Aquired Ragnarok) when I realized I missed the Battle Meter. In fact, I didn't even know it existed until I started looking for missables in FF8.

So, should I restart the game and nab the meter? Or should I just continue on without it? I also missed the Occult Fan II and III, the Pet Nametag, and a few other little items that I need for 100%.

If I really tried to exploit the Junction system, how long do you reckon it'll take to cruise to where I am now?
