Lunar is da shi.te
Hardcore nerd rpg?
Hardly...none of the FF games could be classified as hardcore nerd games....
Pen & Paper rpgs....those are a different story
Now..
FF8 had a terrible story..it was cliched, it was boring.
It had a terrible battle system:
Magic was made useless my junctioning and drawing...
it you junctioned magic to a character, using that spell weakened them.
The summons were annoying..their summon sequence always took too long..if you wanted them to do any real damage, you had to charge them up by tapping square..
the money system was crap
leveling was virtually pointless...the enemies leveled up with you..so getting stronger would mean suicide in the later parts of the games
They had cliched characters....they already had the brooding silent type in Cloud...why give him a flight jacket and call him Squall?
The ONLY thing I liked about 8 was Bahumat's look.
He just looked freakin' awesome in that game....
but that's it only redeeming quality...which doesn't come anywhere NEAR saving the game.
