Triple triad from Final Fantasy 8.
Triple triad + Card mod ability = broken game
It might have had a factor in my not enjoying the Triple Triad mini game, as I sometimes get bogged down in just collecting cards to convert into spells and items. Also, the Queen of Cards is a huge pain. And the CC Club sidequest.
CC Club side quest and Queen of Cards spoilers
Completing the CC Club side quest is necessary to complete prior to Disk 4 if you want to have access to them on Disk 4 (they're inside the Ragnarok). Queen of Cards is available on Disk 4 by default (she's on the Lunar Pod crash site in Esthar), so you can just play her there for a quicker access to the cards only accessible through her.I loved Triple Triad, and loved the way it broke the game!
Shout out to all the hours I wasted soft resetting so I could eliminate the Random rule from Ellone. Honorable mention to the Laguna card, which refined into 100 Heroes and made every single fight after it complete child's play.
I always found the Gilgamesh -> Holy War conversion far more useful for the Omega Weapon fight, especially if the fight is over before I even manage to use half of the 10 items the conversion gives me.
With a low enough level, and a powerful enough junction setup, every single fight (even the final boss fight) is complete child's play. Too bad I didn't already know that on my first playthrough.
