I found the Junctioning system to be incredibly broken, and incredibly tedious as I didn't enjoy Triple Triad, though that's just my issue because I think that most people liked TT?
If you were doing it improperly, you got your butt handed to you, but if you did it as you ought to, you were ridiculously overpowered.

You only need one person in the party to be that high.

I was not impressed with VIII at all. EVERYTHING could be completely owned with Meltdown and Aura. What's more is that there's no reason to cast offensive magic at all- indeed, you basically punished yourself every time you used a spell you had junctioned. This meant that you were actually encouraged to use alternative set-ups that just resulted in you either using only attack or only Aura/Meltdown+Aura.
We are talking about a system so broken that two characters in your party can literally take out the Omega Weapon with ONE COMMAND. Sigh...
