Am I retarded or is it almost always the best option to just do a GF summon? I can't tell if I hate this combat system or if I'm just awful at using it
Imagine using summons to do your fighting for you. What’s next, using consumables?
>>3941690buy like 30 tents, turn them into curaga, junction to stat of your choice. thank me later.
>>3941690... Using GF is a waste of time. The only obligatory gf is doomtrain.
>>3941697I looked up how to do this and unfortunately i did not draw the siren GF....Already 12 hrs in on just the save file alone and dont feel like restarting for that. Hopefully will have mid-level magic refinement from quetz soon tho
>>3941761Not drawing from bosses is like not stealing from bosses. They obviously are going to have better stuff than the average asshole.No, even worse, because you can see what bosses have to draw before you even do it. You didn't even bother to look.People really are just too stupid for FF8
>>3941761>tfw no siren GF
>>3941690It's best to limitmax. Use abilities and junctioning to increase your characters' HP and keep them below 25%, once you can refine aura have a character use Cerberus (do not miss this one) and triple cast it on your party. Limits are the key to doing lots of damage, summons fall off later.
>>3941690Yes and no...Summons are probably the worst for damage. There are some summons that do things other than damage, and those are usually a lot better
>>3941690Spamming GFs works for most of the game, though it suddenly falls off in the final dungeon. It's not really most efficient way to play because of both that and long animations. The easiest thing to do is just junction spells onto your characters to max out their Strength stats and teach as many of them as you can the Darkness ability, and then beat everything to a pulp with physical attacks. Other main strat is using the Aura spell to spam super Squall and Zell's super moves.

>>3941690Both. You're retarded and as a result that makes the GF the best option.
>>3941690That's how I played it as a kid and only got stuck on the missile base boss and the final boss
>>3941774>Summons are probably the worst for damage. That depends, are you spamming [] to boost damage?Come end game they're still useful for tanking damage, if you slip up and need someone to take the hit.Cover>GFCover>DefendIs a handy way to protect your other two party members while they sit at low health and spam Limit Breaks.
>>3941690Summons take too long. You should play cards, avoid leveling up, refine items and magic, then attach ultima to attk or break or demi to stats and life to HP and bum, you are a machine that can constantly limit break of just one hit win by turning enemies into stone on hit. (if demi is used instead it´s a 2hit win, one to deplete life, one to card)
>>3942126trueTriple Triad is the actual real game, they just built a JRPG around it for fun
