The Junction System

Post by Guest on Wed Apr 01, 2009 5:03 am

What did you think of the junction system? I liked it it was a nice thing, however; drawing 100 magics repeatedly and excessivley from monsters soon became dull, although it was a good system to get good stats early, for example I found that 100 Curagas junctioned to HP will increase it dramatically (for a level 10 character at least), so if you get Life-M refine from Siren and save up your money at the beginning of the game when you get your first SeeD mission with Squall, Zell and Selphie if you buy tents you can refine them for curagas. Gasp

Anyway I digress >_>
It was a good system but it had it's slight flaws really; but it wasn't without it's good parts either.
So, what are your views on the junction system? Did you think it was a good idea and find that drawing the magics repeatedly was worth it? Or this is the reason that you never want to play this game at all/again?

I really enjoyed the junction system. I thought it was a great idea to have all the magic you need at your disposal. As long as you found the right monster to draw it from. I also liked and disliked that fact that if you had 100 of a good spell you could junction it to any stat, but if you wanted to use said spell it would make your stats go down. Other than that I really enjoyed the system, it would be a cool thing to see an updated version of this in another RPG.

I completely agree with you Steiner. They Jucntion system had a few flaws, like the magic juction, using it causes your stats to dwindle. But the system and the thought behind it was great. And your right, it would be so cool to see an updated version of it. VIII was so unique in everything, the GF's, the Junction system, even the graphics themeselves. I doubt they could of done it better then.

I totally agree with you. Wacky

Sometimes I wish they would just remakes games just to please us. But of course it needs to make them money or no dice, I hate that sometimes. Anyway its an awesome system that they need to imply in more games.

I love the Junction System. though it was kinda hard to get some of the spells (unless you had a draw point map muhahahahha) You Could make your characters very very powerful. Really didnt like the whole bonding thing you had to do with the GFs but ya all in all pretty good.

Believe that any thing you Imagine. You can make it Real

Junction system was pretty awesome. Sure, drawing magic could be a pain, especially in boss battles, but once you had stuff junctioned you kicked ass. The Junction System also gave more meaning to summons - they gave you different abilities etc, they were more then just attacking machines.
