What's up with the Gunblade? Can it fire or what? In the manual it says if you press R1 just before Squall strikes his attack becomes more powerful. Does this mean he fires it instead?
Did you find the Junction system confusing? I get it now but I still find it an odd concept. The Draw system is also weird. What's the point of drawing fire magic from a fire oppenent and then casting that fire?

Yeah, it fires if you press R1 at the right time. Once you get the timing down, it become second nature. He slashes and fires at the same time. You can do it with Seifer too, by the way.
The junction system is weird, and in my opinion, it really pushes you away from magic use. If you junction a magic to a stat, you'll end up decreasing that stat if you use the magic that's junctioned. I'm not much of a magic user anyway, so that didn't bother me as much as it would heavy magic users.
The draw system is diffently strange. That's probably why it hasn't made another appearance. The point is that you can build up your supplies of magic from one beast, even if you can't use that magic against it. Usually, each monster has one magic on it that's useful to you in that fight. Mainly, I just draw the strong magic from it so I have something good to junction. I use my GFs for magic use.
