Square made a
huge mistake with the introduction of Triple Triad. They assumed this one
collectable card game was so good, they didn't have to include any other
mini-games in
Final Fantasy VIII. Which is ridiculous -
Final Fantasy VII's
mini-games were far
superior to the single
annoying card game in VIII which, in order to get the best
weapons/
armor/
magic,
you have to play.
Any video game that foists a CCG on me is just asking to get its arse kicked; in Final Fantasy VIII's case, I broke out the GameShark just to get around the damn card game.
