Having been on a personal mission to play every single-player FF, in order, one per month, this year, I just recently finished VIII (currently on IX!). I can say that the Junction system was alright, but the Draw system aspect sucked. I'd run across an enemy, or even a boss, and end up spending 15+ minutes just drawing to 100 on my characters. It interrupted the flow of the game, in my opinion. Just my two cents, though.
