What type of Magic bests suits you?

Time magic, white magic, blue magic. Black magic is kind of boring to me. Summoning is cool, but the cost usually doesn't justify the effects. Green magic is just some FF12 nonsense and is clearly just a mix of black and white spells.

Summoning has never clicked with me. Taking a spell like Ark from FFIX, the summon takes 100 seconds or so, and only deals the same amount of damage as a regular attack.

I agree that Green Magic is nonsense from FFXII. The role did change into the synergyst in FFXIII though, so the idea of having a specific character class for buffs seems to be continuing into the following series.

Blue has all the best spells:

wait that's not the type of magic we're talking about is it

(SPOILER)I actually own all three of these cards. No Moxes or Lotus though :(


@topic, I'd probably be a red mage, or maybe a time mage. Or maybe a black mage or a white mage. Probably a red mage though because I'm so indecisive.

Mighty Guard, Aqualung, White Wind, and Level 5 Death? I'll take all of those game-breaking spells, thank you very much!

Blue magic in FF does have a lot of great spells, but there is the caveat that you have to get enemies to use them against you first. Which seems an unpleasant experience to go through :<

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Actually, I won't call Blue Magic with the term "magic" in the first place... :p I find "Enemy Skill" a more appropriate name... Monsters don't actually cast spells (ok, some monsters do, but...)! They are more innate powers monsters can use by nature...

Ya know I'm probably a white mage. I like helping others so I'd probably do that.

I know in MMO's I like being a healer because I don't like relying on others to keep me alive so I do it!

Least of all Green Magic. I get all exceted when I learn status buffs, but then I never use them, except occasionally haste. I usually prefer to spend a turn doing damage and healing instead of buffing, even though I am aware that it can turn the tides of a battle. I guess it just doesn't click with me.

Haste is a fabulous enhancement! Bravery/Faith are also very good, though I'm not keen on Regen. It is the least useful of all of the standard buffs.

Vigilance and Veil in XIII/XIII-2 was pretty useless too.

Hmm. Well, in Final Fantasy terms, I'd probably be a Red Mage that focuses on Black Magic with little White Magic. Kinda like how I play Clerics in D&D.

Think outside the game mechanics. I think we are not restricted to numbers here. :kakapo:

What's wrong with specific spells? For 1 Mp in final fantasy five you can 'return' going to the start of combat. Without that spell then I play "White Mage." Since it's better to be safe then sorry. Otherwise it's time.
