Ugh... for all this time... this freaking topic comes up again... FF8 is just total failure... Square tried something new with the gay junctioning system and failed horribly... now I ask you... how did it get on your top 3 list...?!!? I mean, I beat the game, and no doubt it wasn't that bad... but HOW IS IT ON YOUR TOP T-H-R-E-E???? And another thing... don't use the walkthrough, Ultimecia's Castle is a big laugh... really simple, just make sure you CAREFULLY choose what abilities you will retrieve after you beat a boss.
