So usually a ff game is all simple n shit. I just started ff8 and it gets kinda confusing with the cards and the fact that you can't equip armor and weapons.
i was like wtf is this, is it even a ff game?

Trollers gonna troll.

Imo FFVIII combines the best story with the worst gameplay of the first 10 games

What's so hard to understand? Equipping GFs is like equipping armor, and you can change weapons..

Just watch the junction tutorial and all will be revealed, the game isn't that hard. Yes, it is a little more complicated than the others, I'll give it that. And, you don't have to play the card game, but it is very beneficial especially if you don't draw whore.

I'ma give that a big fat hairy vouch

I liked about 90% of the story, the fact that all the characters knew each other since childhood and couldn't recall it, was the detractor.
The magic system, based on 'draw,' was my least favorite of all square rpgs.

They didn't necessarily know each other since childhood, really just during the period in which they all resided at the same orphanage. At least that's how I look at it, because if I don't look at it like that, it makes no sense and I like the game too much for things to not make sense.

Basically GFs alter the users memories. Which I do agree is a dumb thing to throw in the game. Actually, I don't even see why they put that in the game at all, it really has nothing to do with anything else that is going on lol. Other than that, it was a top notch story.

They grew up at the same orphanage as kids but couldn't remember that, it's just randomly thrown in the game.. I just think it's funny that people throw that out there like it ruins the whole game, but it really has very little to do with the game as a whole. It's dumb, but not game breaking like people try to make it.

Edit: I honestly think they just threw that in there to try to make Edea a more central or connected character, rather than just "Cid's wife".
