Obviously, for FFVIII fans who've played it over and over again it seems simple, but for the newbie it's not. However, it can be learnt after a bit of messing about with, and it ends up becoming simple once you've experimented a bit. My main issue with the junction system is not its difficulty but the extreme way it can unbalance the game.

Okay, that's fair. I won't touch the comment about the junction system right now, but it's true that I've spent a lot of time thinking about FFVIII and how everything connects; the newbie will probably not see all that on a first runthrough unless they're really paying attention. Part of what I like about FFVIII, though, is simply the fact that it's all there if you look.

EDIT: It occurs to me that you probably mean just the Junction system, and now I feel silly. I didn't have any trouble learning the Junction system my first time through, though. The Tutorials, while slow, are a good start for experimentation. I don't see that as much problem, though of course you'll get better at it the more you play.
