It's not the random rule that I hate, it's all those other fucking rules. Like Combo, and same wall, which I can't figure the hell out for the life of me, and the other retarded ass rules I can't remember.
The card game in FF9 is better, but it's harder to find all the rare cards. I got pretty much all of the rare cards in FF8 that I don't have to play people in that fucking space station to get.
That pissed me off so much
