(Yeah, I mean at least in FF7, your summoning spells were limited. But the summoning spells in FF8 have THEIR OWN LIFE METER, and they pretty much take all your lumps. In short, just keep using your summoning spells, and you'll win almost every battle.)
Granted, but you use the power wrong and die of electrocution.
I wish EarthBound was less popular. (No offense to Earthbound fans.)
