Final fantasy 8, it is the best, no sarcasm.

I would give a testicle for a proper remake, expand the Laguna story, a more populated world, even more battshitery

I respect your opinion.

Mine is: the draw system is shit and the teenage angst gunsword story a hot mess.

I liked that I didn't have to worry about mana/magic points, and if you didn't want to draw you could convert items into magic, or cards into items into magic, enemies into cards into items into magic....

The weapons in general I chalk up to fantasy universe with flying school buildings, and the story could absolutely be more fleshed out, but it doesn't revolve around gun sword, that's just another weapon in the messed up world

Yes, that sentence was mashed together, the gunsword is unrelated to the story. For me it just added on stuff I didn't like or could not relate to.

Interesting point with the mana! I didn't like the consumable aspect of magic basically because I feared running out of something. Similar to some of the worse paper Mario titles.

It's fantastic to hear from someone who thinks the opposite!
