i was in another thread today and saw many people thought the junctioning system was flawed so i started this thread to find out if everyone likes or hate the system.
do you think the junctioning system is flawed?

How do you mean it's flawed? If you mean it can be abused to over power your characters then it is no more flawed than the job system, materia system, sphere grid or basic leveling up.

However, I also think it's not very practical, because sometimes you can't use the spells without decreasing some of your Stats.
ok i meant that i dont think it is flawed but there are some people who do
I think its fine, true you can bend it to do different things
e.g junction 100 of a magic to your character at a low level then you'll be fighting easy enemys with strong characters) that mite be a bad example but it one I uncovered myself
"...Time, it will not wait...no matter how hard you hold on...it escapes you." Ultimicia
It's not the juctioning system that's the problem really, it's that they made it incredibly easy to obtain powerful magic that made all of your characters into demi-gods. Not only that, offensive magic did a pathetic amount of damage if cast under normal conditions, leaving it pretty much useless in battle.
So really, the junctioning system was fine; it was the utterly moronic implementation of magic within the game that made the battle system a joke.
thanks for that now i know there are at least a few people who dont think the junctioning system was rubbish
It's not perfect, but I thought it was a very good system, that made a lot of sense in the world.
-Q
As pointed out the system's main flaw was the fact that you couldn't use up any spells without your stats dropping. For people such as myself who generally try to avoid using spells it's not as bitter a pill to swallow. It did allow for quite a bit of customisation of your characters, and finding the right spells to put on the right stats is always quite the juggling act. As with almost every FF battle system there were ways to abuse it (There's not many that come to mind that don't have such loopholes. FF1, 3 and 4 seem to be the only ones. The rest offer some way of overpowering your characters to the point of ridiculousness).
There is no signature here. Move along.
if you think how powerful bosses become in most ff games (like x-2 when there is a boss more powerful on the desert island than the boss at the end of the game)its just some people go out and get all the spells they need to power them selves.
Ithe Junction System
It's servicable, very servicable. Though, it still does has a few flaws.
It is flawed. Not even a question. Especially with low levels...
Although I don't understand why people think you absolutely can't cast magic ever. You can cast them, just don't cast 20 in the same freaking battle. It isn't like you can't draw it again/card/refine in some way to get it back.
There are many things I don't like about it, but I've played so many RPGs that function the same way I'm glad it's rather different then most are.
I can't say I liked the Junction system, but it's something different from the other FF systems. It allows more freedom and customization to your stats.
