>people convinced themselves junctioning means you shouldn't use magic at all and it's probably a big part of why they find it so boring.

Nothing weird about it, people are wired to try and make the best decisions almost subconsciously and doing it like this made game a breeze.
Sadly efficiency had nothing to do with fun in this case, same as scout rush in VC.
Yeah, gameplay wise it was attack and renzukoken over and over, never used my summons more than once to see the animation because regular attacks still outpowered everything else.

That said the game was far from boring, the story, setting, characters, I played it in 2011 so nostalgia was not a factor but still, it was my fav FF right of the bat.
Too bad there will never be anything like this again, cozy fantasy contemporary settings with all of my favourite tropes.
Realistic characters that are not caricatures comically overreacting, mature romance without needless drama, highschool setting with students living in adult world, swords and guns, magic and summons, ruins of old civilization with ancient monsters still lurking, very familiar looking villages and even a space level, plus comfy at every screen, not to mention great music.

Too many things went right here.
