Yeah, no, that section is terrible with a controller too.

ALSO, aren't you at the super dumb plot reveal yet? I guess maybe not because you didn't mention it and that is the kind of thing you always mention when talking about FF8 because Jesus Christ.

ALSO PART TWO THE ALSOING, the leveling system is retarded as fuck in that you actually get weaker by leveling. You probably haven't noticed yet because the game hasn't opened up to let you grind, but basically when you level up so does EVERY SINGLE ENEMY, bosses included. The difference is that bosses get better stat gains on level than you do.

You can mitigate this, obviously, through junctioning, but you can junction just fine at level 5 or whatever you start at as well, get just as large a boost, and basically make yourself a god amongst mortals by not leveling. Alternatively you can keep your level pushed down until you get a certain GF who gives you extra GF bonus level slots, and some other GFs that give you good level up bonuses, attach the two together, etc. etc. get decent levels.

But a person playing the game like a normal human being might will eventually hit some spots where they think 'oh hey, this is kinda hard, I guess maybe I should level some more or something' and then they will go grind a bit, only to find that things have actually gotten harder.

Edit: And speaking of the junctioning system, someone at Square needs a kick square in the balls. "Hey guys," he must have said, "Let's put in all these awesome spells, but BUT, let's also make it so that ACTUALLY CASTING ANY gimps the fuck out of your character!" And then he laughed and laughed.
