When somebody complains the the FF8 Junction makes the game too easy and boring and when somebody complains that the FF7 Materia system makes the characters in battle dry and less fun- err, nobody in Square forced you to Junction like that, nobody forced you to use the Materia like that. You could make Cloud a "White Mage", if you wanted ? These systems have a lot of choice and freedom about them, nobody is forcing you to break them or make FFVII more tedious for you.

Just watched ProJared's video on FFVII and he was complaining about this, even though he even said that you can "Make Tifa a thief" if you wanted. How can you get the point and then miss the point ?

It also reminded me about the complaints about the Junction in FFVIII. Nobody is forcing you to do these things.

Oh, FFVIII is too easy now because you broke it ? Oh FFVII battles are boring now because you didn't "Job Class" the characters ? Oh, FF12 is playing itself ?? I'm using the "attack the main characters " tactic in FFII even though nobody is forcing you to do that ?

That sounds like a you problem, pal.


Grumpy Boomer vent over.


Thoughts ?


Also if somebody from SE is actually holding a gun to your head to break the FFVIII Junction system or whatever can you tell us about it ? What's it like being held hostage by them ?
