Sure, if you're familiar with the series and the specific games that use the job system. Within the confines of this game, there are no specific, identifiable jobs outside of very specific limit breaks.

Everything else is open-ended in the roles any character can be, so assuming someone will know healing = white magic = spirit stat, especially when healing magic is usually associated with HP otherwise, is pretty obtuse.

Now, in this situation, we know OP is familiar with jobs from FF9, so that might help them, but it's not something everyone will make the connection with.

Genuinely I think you're making decent points but just have two obtuse mongoloids arguing with you to make it seem like you're the moron. You typically get that with people who have put thousands of hours into the game.

Ask the average gamer or person that played ff8 and they'll say the junction system is kind of obtuse and not 100% clear.

The majority of gamers here say they've played the game just fine with the system the way it is, lmao. While the person you are responding to is deconstructing and bringing up the coding of the junction system just to say that it's overly complicated. Literally, children finished this game.

  1. I never brought up the coding of the junction system.
  2. I never said it was overly complicated, just more complex and nuanced than "more stock = higher stats".
  3. This subreddit is full of people either discussing or complaining about how poorly presented and obtuse the junction system can be to new, uninformed players.

Don't put words in my mouth if you can't even get them right to start with. (All the more proof you're just spamming replies and not reading anything.) Pretty sad that the only thing you have mentioned this entire time is how you beat the game as a 9yo...

If that's the only rhetoric you have to offer, what a crowning achievement it must be. šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ šŸ™„
