| The revolutionary new Junction System featured
in FINAL FANTASY VIII provides an unprecedented level of control
in character customizability. Based upon the powerful Guardian
Forces from which the characters derive most of their power,
the Junction System allows the player to modify character abilities,
commands and even their attributes. Unlike previous games in
the series, the magic in FINAL FANTASY VIII is not earned or
purchased, but drawn from enemies in battle. Players can opt
to cast the magic drawn from enemies right away, or store it
as spells for later use. The usefulness of stored magic goes
beyond merely casting it however; the Junction System lets the
player attach the power of magic spells to attributes, enhancing
character stats or special defenses that provide resistance
to certain attacks. |
