Is it possible to beat the game without ever junctioning? I'd say it's IMPOSSIBLE. There are too many reasons why, so I'll leave the specifics to you.

Well, I'm sure it'd be a good challenge. I think it'd be impossible consider alot of the later bosses have high amounts of HP. But that's probably just me talking, haven't played in awhile.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
your only option would be attack, and many enemies have high defenses or ridiculously high HP and will wipe you out in a few hits (or even one) regardless of HP if you dont take them out first. and your strength without junctioning will be low, etc. perhaps if you junction ONLY to use the item command and a few party abilities to replace GF and magic (you could amass some stones to use instead of magic)
but just using attack? i dont see how it being very likely, but doesnt mean it cant happen. IMO.. i think its.. well.. suicidal and fustrating. :rolleyes2

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
Furthest I've got doing that was BGH251F2 (Iron Clad), and that thing thrashed me with Beam Cannon!
I also tried going through Ultimecia Castle, without Junction, didn't work. Catoblepas and Red Giant beat me left, right and centre.
Ultimately however, it should be possible, with the right amount of training. Just try and get your self to level 100 on the first disc then try. Anything IS possible, after all.
Training to level 100 won't help at all, in fact you'll be condemning yourself by doing so. Enemies grow with you, remember? Final Fantasy VIII was designed so you HAD to utilize the GF. The best thing you could do is run away from every random encounter possible, and then during boss battles utilize your limit breaks to the fullest extent.
I've heard that Zell can actually use his limit break in such a way that he'll have unlimited time, letting you make his combo as long as you want. If this is true, it may be possible after all...
I'll boot up FF VIII right now so I may embark on this Suicide Quest. It will be fun, in a sick sort of way. God help me.

You could beat the game with relative ease not junctioning...even those annoying enemies.....but not for the whole game, just till you got ForbidMed Refine and could make all the STR, MAG, SPR, SPD, VIT, and HP ups you can....then use nothing but aura stones.....but like soulIce said...some bosses have insane hp and defense...wthout meltdown it'd be freaking annoying...unless u had the Loinheart limit.....and Pulse ammo..it could be done but it'd be a gruelingly hard job to get enough stat ups to make ur entire party or even a select 3 to their full potential.....

You forgot that in order to use Aura Stones, you'd need to junction the Item ability, as stupid as that sounds.

HAH! Something I have asked myself. I tried, I got so far. It was somewhat impossible to beat the last boss. Plus you would mostly run away, because they areso powerful and you have to summon and cast and junction.
I got to the end of the 3rd disk. or almost near the end.
Everyday I wish that I could be the one, for you...
Seifer at the end of disc 1 was actually hard when I tried to do it without junctions. Stupid Fira...
wow u guys wanna try not junctioning the whole game?? damn..... do u think u can get the max 255 stats?? i dun think so.. but hey it's interesting.. thinking that i dun have anything to do to the game other than beating the crap out of omega again and again and again... mmmmm..... how about beating the weapon without junctioning?? which means u can junction the whole game but when u';r facing the weapons, remove all the junction....
It's impossible to do it from start to finish. However once you max out stats, you don't need to junction. That's different though.
You should try something more sane like beating the game without spells, items, or GF summons.
well as i said.. try beating mr omega without junction.. u can only have fight and u'r trusty limit breaks.. mmmmmm that'll make u wanna have sephie and cuistis, considering their limit breaks... which means u can only rely on 1 fighter.. (i put my money on zell and his armageddon fist.. but squall is also good...)
Yeah! The Armageddon Fist! Is that the trick that lets you duel as long as you want?

I wouldn't think it possible to beat the game without junctioning. Not only would it be hard because of the monsters beating the snot out of you but parts of the game where you're battling within a time limit would make it difficult as well (Missile Base, Comm Tower).
