I've just completed FFX for a second time and i'm about to start FFVIII for the first time(and FFVII after that), any beginners tips?

VIII try not to get levels at all. Junctions are where you get your real stat bonuses. After all, the enemies level up with you and you get most of your power from junctions. So if you're lvl 10 at the end of the game but incredibly powerful, you'll be fighting lvl 10 enemies who are weak. Also, make sure you draw magic from lots of bosses (or at least check what magic they have). Several bosses have GFs (really important) taht you can draw and if you miss even one, you loose big time.

Thanks, after being used to the 'Sphere grid' of FFX, the junction system feels a bit awkward to get used at this stage (I'm on my first mission as a SeeD afterall).
