Well, i have completed FF7, watched the advent children movie. Loved it, now i understand why ff7 is the best FF game in the series.
I have started FF8, story seems interesting, but the gameplay? Oh God......the battle system feels sluggish and slow paced, compared to ff7. It takes me a while to finish battles in this. And this whole new junction system is ridiculous and confusing. The materia system in ff7 was easy, and way better.
I didn't get one thing, whats that about, when you equip a magic( e.g fire), to your character stats(e.g strength or magic). And after the battle i check, the magic i equipped with my character stats, it disappears.
