Would guns count as a physical attack?
I like blunt force. I also like to hit things hard.
Yeah, bullets are physical, as are arrows/bolts/darts/etc.Quote:

In games, I like to beat the crap out of stuff so yeah, physical attacks.
Tank all the way.
In party based RPG's Physical, less button presses in general
In single character RPG's Magic, more variety.
When magic can only be used during combat then Physical, less button presses in general.
When magic can be used outside of combat then Magic, more variety.
I really like Katana, especially like Kadaj's Souba. This Kadaj's SoubaAttachment 53332
And it would be better if there are dual wield of Souba.
And Hidden BladeAttachment 53333.
So physical for me. But I like magic that does massive amount of damage with wide range area. Or maybe close up with somekind of teleport magic like Noctis power. This should explain what I meant Noctis Warphttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YWTVJoBETK...376-warp-1.gifits called warp right? Then physical in the end. So a bit of both.
But this is my opinion :)
It can vary. Magic can sometimes seem a little too weak and unnecessary.
Magic. Sadly, magic uses MP so I can't solely rely on it :(
Magic is awesome. Which is why it's sad that it sucks in a lot of JRPGs.
It really varies on the game. I mean, offensive magic in FFXII is mostly ineffectual compared to physical attacks, particularly in the later stages of the game, so physical attacks there win hands down. But in other games, I like using magic. Magic gives variety, dynamic, strategy. Anyone could hit an enemy over and over. It gets boring after awhile, even if it is many times quite effective.Quote:

I like magic. That's part of why I like FFX so much, it's balanced out so Lulu is an effective fighter with a large enough MP pool to use magic every turn and she isn't overpowered.
Magic was pretty useful in FFXII for specific situations and there were plenty of opportunities to use it effectively, but it wasn't something you could really use in place of physical attacks.
Whatever deals the most damage in the shortest amount of time in any given combat system.
I typically use physical attacks, but I usually prefer magic more. If there's an easy way to keep MP topped off, I'll use magic a lot more. But I don't rely on items, so MP reserves get on my nerves.
Physical all the way. :smug:
I like to go up to things and hit them on the head repeatedly with an object.
Magic; I can bludgeon and punch things irl
I could swear the thread title wasnt this specific when i posted...
If it's just combat then Physical because less button presses.
