It's well worth it, believe me. At first I wasn't even interested in FFVIII *because* of the junction system. I wanted Materia back, dangit.
It really is innovative, though.. especially if you work out a couple of ways to use it to your extreme advantage (Play cards, refine cards into items, refine items into full stocks of spells, play as a demigod for the rest of the game)
And you're right, Jeb. It's definantly got the most complex plot. 'specially if you've been paying attention to the tiny stuff (like Zell's obsession with Balamb Garden's cafeteria hot dogs) and it's really all wrapped up nicely in the closing sequence.. I'm not gonna spoil it but the game ends in a way that puts a very good, solid end to the story.. doesn't leave ya hanging in any respects. ^_^
