That Card Game.. in FF8.
Is so damn easy.. yet, at the same time it can be so damn frustrating.. heh, for example.. recently i got into it, played a few rounds (lost the first 2.... 2 resets later i went back at it, 'cause i fuckin well hate losing cards, lol) and i beat both of those fuckers and got some Rare Cards.. whee.. yeah, im happy, i finally understand how it works now.
How bout you guys? heh, find the game easy to handle? fun? shit? lol

Some of the rules can be extremely frustrating, like the random rule in Dollet when doing the Card Queen Quest! Damn it, I spend hours on that, and in the end I never even completed the Quest, I just won the Doomtrain and Phoenix Cards at the Ragnarok at disc 4...

Ugh! you just reminded me mate... i remember taking on like, everyone in Dollet Town, and they ALL used the Same/Plus and Random.. which was so fucking annoying BAH, i had to reset so many times, because everytime i lost they took a character card, or a GF card.. the fuckers.. heh. So next set of cards i play i'll play around Balamb or something. I likes the Same rule teh best

Heh. Triple Triad rocks. It was an easy game once you got the hang of it, but then there were those gay rules like Same and Plus and most of all, Random, that would screw you over in the long run. Sure, if you really know how to play, then you can use these rules to your advantage, but I tend to stick with the more simple rules, such as 'Open', which is probably my favorite rule. Then again, I also don't mind other simple rules like Sudden Death and Elemental (like in FH). The main one that annoys me would have to be 'Random'. I know a way around it kinda, but it's still a pain.
The main thing I love about Triple Triad is the WONDERFUL ability bestowed upon you by Quetzalcoatl called 'Card-Mod'. Yeah, Card-Mod "rocks the hizz-ouse." I mean, for god's sake, you can grab a basic card like Gilgamesh and get TEN FREAKING HOLY WARS. I love this game. I even bothered to grab some of the cards in real life.

Yeah, this is my favorite minigame in any game ^_^. Squaresoft could probably make an rpg entirley about TT, and it'd be wicked.. The rules were annoying sometimes, causin you to lose cards, and have to reset alot.. which sucked.. but its worth it, as you can build a wicked collection, and if your willin to part with it, get some kickass items ^_^;.
