The junctioning system was a lot of fun it allowed you to customize your characters. It was simple i was 10 when i first played the game and i had the junctioning down after an hour of gameplay.

The GFs that could teach you abilities were a step up from summon materia of 7.
Drawing was a pain in the neck sometimes.
Offensive spells were basically useless and usually found myself only using haste, aura, curaga, full-life, and the one good offensive spell that was METEOR!!!
The limit break system was much better as you could control them not just after time it would build up.
Leveling wasnt meant to play as big of a part as in the other FF's due to its lack of increase on your stats.
You were meant to junction and make combos that worked and fit your play style.
No it wasnt funny but its an RPG not Family Guy. Go watch Comedy Central if you want to laugh... play FF VIII if you want to have fun.

Thats all i have to say... it was not the best but it was good.
