Do you think FFVIII's Game Design had an Impact on the series?

One thing I didn't like was the limit break system. I hardly use them because I can't smurfing stand having low HP and it's absolutely retarded that you need to be close to death in order to take advantage of the powerful attacks that the game offers. I'm going to throw in here that I did not complete the game and I'm not very well versed on the limit system because I didn't bother with it, due to the low-HP requirement. If I'm wrong about any of that, I apologize.

You could draw the spell "aura" or "aurora" (I don't remember) to put the characters into limit break mode. They stay that way for a while. Admittedly if you did this while their HP was high, you were less likely to get one of the more powerful limit breaks, but there's always a way around that.
