Okay the junction system was extremely simple, when the game came out i was only 11 years old and i got it perfectly my first playthrough.

I didnt like the draw system because it took forever to draw magic from enemies and if you tried to stock up on 100 of a spell from one of those hidden draw points it would take even longer.

The only use for magic other than the Cures and Aura was Junctioning because i never used offensive magic and rarely summoned the GFs. Course that is the norm for me in all FF, im more of a physical attack kind of guy.

The graphics were awesome for their time, ecspecially the FMVs.

The story was great.

All in all an awesome game. Second in my favorite FF list topped only by 7.

wtf, why arent you supposed to level up? The enemies leveled up with you so the game would be more chalenging (not that it worked cause the game is pretty easy) not because you werent supposed to. I finished all my games at level 100 but that could be because i also do all the sidequests and i always make it a point to get Lionheart before the end of Disc 2, which takes a lot of work.
