Yeaahhh....I've heard about the nightmare that is triple triad. Is it really essential, because I was gonna skip it if I could

I personally didnt like Triple Triad, but I felt like I was outside of an overwhelming majority on that. The card game was something that most people loved about FF8.

At its core, the game is super simple. You have cards, and each card has a number for each corresponding side of it (top, bottom, left & right). If a card is placed on a board next to the opponents card, the touching numbers determine who takes over both cards.

The game becomes complicated due to each area of the world having specific rules to the game that alter the game slightly. And as you travel, you sorta spread these different rules, which pick up in other areas. So when you have 1 slightly different rule in place, its still easy to keep track of. When you have 5 overlapping different variations, it becomes a pain.

You can change cards into rare items. You then can use the items to upgrade your weapons to their better forms (you dont really buy new weapons like you do in most RPGs - you learn of ways to upgrade your weapons, and you need the specific items before you can do it).
