I remember being a kid playing this game and I had ZERO idea what was going on. None, none whatsoever. I would just spam GF's and hope for the best and I got ... reasonably far I guess. But it entailed a lot of angry controller throwing sessions. lol I also didn't even know to upgrade gear like I do now. I am going back to beat FF8 once and for all now.

It's nice to see FF8 getting love. Yes, the battle system can be broken. But it's really fun to think about how to junction your characters. And you gotta respect the devs for trying something completely different.

Oh my god I’m so happy that I was able to understand this with the way you explained it, I’ve always heard this was decisive and I was afraid of getting into it because I heard about it being too confusing but I wanted to play FF8 cuz it was the first game I ever touched, and it has such a neat and cool vibe so I’m VERY thankful I understood this❤

Okay I think I got it. Switch the term “junction” to “equipments”. For each “body parts” you can equip one item. HP. Strength. Vitality. Magic. And Spirit. Ideally you want all parts equipped with something. Leave no blank slot. And you get these equipments from playing card games or steal (learn) from enemies. And for a character you cannot have all available actions. Beside attack, you customize each character with actions of your choosing. Magic. Item. Card, etc.

Thank you very much for the wonderful tutorial! I understand the junction system a lot better now! You've just earned a new subscriber! :D

[pineslasher]

Thank you immensely for making this video. I had next to no idea what I was doing. I knew to junction but not how to do it aside from randomly. Also another huge thanks for your triple triad video, I can enjoy that game now I know what’s going on!

Really enjoyed this video. When i opened the game, I got through ifrit and to the battlefield and saved immediately stopped to open YouTube cuz I'm so incredibly confused about the system. Took me a minute to understand the attack system too, but i figured it out. I kind of like it cuz it makes me multitask between getting the extra damage and selecting the next characters attack. It is difficult though

[curtisturpin]

This was INCREDIBLY useful! Thank you so much!

[biofrog]

I played this when it first came out on PlayStation 1 a few of the things you said I actually didn't know so thank you

[hundun]

Very helpful. Thanks! About time I replay this ff8 masterpiece. Hopefully I know what I'm doing now 🙂

It’s an incredibly powerful system, but coming off of the blissfully easy FF6 and 7 systems, this just angered me. I GameSharked it the first time I played it, and years later I used the Seifer / Card strategy to beat the game at level 11. Take that, FF8!
But now I kind of see what they were going for. I disagree with it, but I get it. It’s not as bad as I thought.

Currently playing this. I'm at the galbadian garden, I just got Irvine Kinneas. And I'm soo confused. So I believe I kinda have an understanding on the junction system. Thanks🙂

I remember playing and beating the game, but no recollection of junction system. I don't know if it is a repressed memory or I was just more open-minded to video game mechanics as a kid, lol.

[herbievalerius]

3:10 Already lost me.
One of these days i will try playing it and dedicate the energy to learn this...
It's on my bucket list, I swear...

[rowshambow]

Okay, so right away when i back out after adding the gf to my character i cant select Auto. Its just not available to select

[incaseofimportantnegotiations]

WHAT WHAT WHAT
this is more maths and nonsense words than i needed for my robototechnics diploma
i don't understand anything and i don't even have ifrit

[DH-cjnm]

I was so disappointed in this game at 13 years old. Ff7 was my favorite game and 8 looked awesome but i got so frustrated with how confusing it was i just gave up. I remember thinking why can't I just use materia? It's a shame I didn't keep trying I regret giving up.

[mouradkochkar]

do we want to use these magics in battle or is it better to keep them capped to increase the stats ? i mean do we farm the magics only for the sake of increasing the stats or can we also use them ?

[davysamir]

When I started FF8 I used Fire as junction for Str on Squall an noticed that Str was getting higher the more Fire he had so I literally went to the open Area and drawed Fire until it was 99 at Squall so he easily had around 40 Str while everything else was around idk 10-15

Currently I just got the Ragnarok and his Ste is around 180 while all the other stats are below 80 simply because I abused Ultima Junction for Str at Squall

This needs an update, maybe where your characters are higher lvl and can explain a bit more?
