Regarding GF abilities allowing magic to be junctioned to every available stat for 3 party members.
Like many, FF8 wasn't something I found enjoyable in the early 2000s as an adolescent. I loved 7, loved 9 and 10. But something about the setting, story, the junction system, or all of them just didn't click with me. I never ended up getting further than disc 2.
Last month, I decided to give it another try (it's been over 20 years). I paid attention to the tutorials and actually found the junction system really intuitive and sensible. As well as mapping what your GFs learn and assigning abilities to slots. I find myself near the end of disc 3 now, right before entering Lunatic Pandora and the point of no return. I want to do all the sidequests, optional content, etc. I definitely have an appreciation for the game that I didn't as a kid. it's been a good time.
To my question- I have obtained every GF except Eden (I plan to get it soon). The next thing I want to do is enable junctions of magic to every stat for the three active characters that I am using. However, no matter what way I arrange my available GFs, there are still stats that are not junctionable for two of the three characters.
Is there a spread of the GFs with the base stat junction skills they have that provides this coverage? Otherwise, I assume I will need to identify the gaps and use items to teach the stat junctions I need to various GFs to fill in these gaps.
Thanks for any input.
