Absolutely restart the game. One of the best games to relive in my opinion. Beat it about 5x since it came out. I hadn't played in 3 years, just restarted it. I play maybe 5 hours a week but I can still have a blast doing so. Card games, side-quests, just amazing game overall

The trick to winning in FF8 is to keep your level as low as possible and card mod cards won from triple traid. The magic modded from I/T/F refinery will be sufficient in boosting whatever stat abilities you have currently learned (which wont be many). It is also possible to get the lionheart (squalls best weapon) without leaving balamb island. It is also possible to destory ATM0586 (i think thats what it was called) when it chases you after dollet tower mission. Although you will miss out on the cutscene, you will be rewarded with some rare items.
I don't necessarily agree with the philosophy of keeping your levels low as possible. Yes, you do gain more benefits from x + bonus per level, but other than that, the game is rather standard.
I enjoy fighting and winning battles rather than cardin' everything I see. If you haven't played the game in a while, I would recommend playing and leveling, as to me, it is more fun.
Both techniques work and can be fun as long as you understand the goals behind them.
Just to confirm my theory is correct, This is why you dont recieve any EXP after boss battles and some forced battles. Although I understand what you mean by wanting to kill enemies. Although It can be just as challeneging to card mod them and the rewards are far more significant.
