Well, before I get this game, I'd like to know more about these things, since i can't remember anything about Junction Function...

Post your best working Junctions and and and things.

hello.

sorry, can't remember anything from my game, but good junctions for hp are restorative magic, and strong black magic junctions in your other stats. 100 ultima magic can go perfectly in your elem-def with full-life magic. try to get 100 of each of the spells and junction them to your characters, especially the strong spells(ultima, meteor, etc.) and that's all i could say, i think, for now... i'll try to remember if there's something more.

I think that this is kinda a pointless thread. As the junctions change with levels abilitys etc. I never have one set junction magic for each item.

Ok I dont know what you really want. But if you want explanations of Junctioning I will try and help you. I had alot of trouble at first too, just ask anybody here. :P
Anyways junctioning is a system that FFVIII uses to raise your stats. But in order to junction magic you must first junction a GF to a character. Now once the GF is junctioned to a character you will be able to junction magic as well. Now listen carefully here because now it gets confusing. When you try and junction magic to a stat, the stat must be in white. Now click on the stat and select a type of magic. (shell, fire, ultima, etc) Now watch the number on the right and it will go up. (Select the magic spell that will raise that stat the highest.) Thats pretty much it. I think I descriped this pretty good. If not than PM me and I will help you further.

it's a great help if you go to shumi village from the moment you can use garden... draw Ultima once with everyone u use to fight and junction it to your HP, this is a nice way to get a Health advantage in the coming battles.

this way i beat seifer and edea with chars at lvl 15 :p

Your main concern should be determining how you will distribute your GFs to your team-members so that they will all have every stat junction available to them. There is a very informative guide on this subject at GameFAQs.com, I suggest you take a look.

After you have done that, I usually just use the Auto-Junction option at the top of the Junction screen; this will give you a choice of three different ways to automatically assign your strongest magic to the selected attributes (out of Strength, Magic and Defense/HP). You will probably want to change a few of the magicks around after this to suit your tastes (for status-junctions, especially).

Enjoy.

it's nice to let the computer solve the junctions for you... but i think it's better to junction your magic manually... the computer can never put it like you want it to be :P

Ultima and Flare on Elem. Def.).

If you want to absorb 100% of everything elemental wise, I usually use the following: (Make sure you have Elemental Def Junction x4)

99x Full-Life
99x Life

(These two combined should half the damage)

then 99x Ultima
and finally 99x Death

It should theoretically give you 100% absorb for every element, if it doesnt try using 99x Flare instead of Death
