Final Fantasy 8 isn't about battling to get higher numbers. Instead, it is about manipulating a card game.

This is true I remember that game had a card game which was way more fun than the real game. Nerds would be like 'no lets go fight so I can summon a cactus and mash a button real fast to make it SUPER CACTUS STRONG' because they were spastics tho. Maybe if JRPG's were less like anime they'd be more fun and less bullshit filler episodes about calculus vampires or whatever.

If you have to grind in a single player game or use spreadsheets you're a loving idiot.

If your health is rolling down and you either end the battle or heal it, it stops the counter and treats where it stopped as the current HP. There's an enemy that suicide bombs you for massive damage that can mostly be ignored if you close the battle fast enough.

oh i didn't see problem

well keep that in mind either way

eo: u is easily the worst eo, but still better than vanilla eo

if you can get your hands on a cheap copy of 3 or 4 those are much better games

eo:u's story is neat to go through. highlander and gunner are both incredibly powerful

there's also a dupe glitch to get past the really annoying grimoire farming to get the coolest trickery

Yeah it's not for everyone, but I'd say try EO3, it's the best in the series.

So you can break the rest of the game.

Seriously you can get the ultimate weapons from the start of the game thanks to the card game.
