Mage anyone? THE POLL!!!

[Cezanzo]

I do like Quistis better, but I voted for Vivi because he is a better mage.



Yay Vivi!

[Pure Aerisbeauty7]

I prefer Aeris as the best mage.

[Dynast-Kid]

OMG, you forgot Geomancer!

And I voted for Relm, 'cause she's a BAMF.

[Suiko Jin]

Vivi is the best mage in the FF universe. ^_^

[Dr. Acula]

I prefer Aeris as the best mage.

good to see another Aeris fan and welcom to the forum

Actually Pure Aerisbeauty7 has been around here longer than you have, aerisfantatic.

[Ender]

If by "best" you mean "favorite mage character" I'll go with Vivi.

If I were a FF character looking for the best mage (discounting summons) to survive a perilous adventure frought with battles against fiends of might and magic, it has to be Quina. Blue Magic FTW!

[Formalhaut]

Vivi is rubbish, a little mysterious boy without a agenda.

oops my mistake i havent seen her post before

You missed the best Mage of all... The TIME Mage (FFV), and Tidus whose a time mage... SPEED IS EVERYTHING!

Due to the absence of my usual answer (bastard), I voted Garnet, just to spite all the people who voted Vivi. Vivi is useful for about a quarter of the game, and gets epically upstaged once Garnet learns to summon:

-They cost similar amounts to his 'aga level spells, but they hit all enemies for the same damage, while Vivi's spells become weaker when they're split.
-Her answer to the Death spell, Odin, hits all enemies. It's just as unreliable though.
-Bahamut is her equivalent to Meteor, but Bahamut never misses, so I guess he's just better than Meteor.
-Her answer to Doomsday, Ark, doesn't hit your party, which is good if you haven't all got gear that affords protection against Shadow.
-She can heal and cast some White Magic, though not as well as Eiko.

I've compared Garnet to the Red Mage before in terms of her usefulness, but she does fall a bit short in the attack/defense department, so I'll concede that she's a Summoner with White Magic.

Red Mage : Various is inaccurate. They sucked in FF3 and 5, but they were the Chuck Norris of FF1.

Garnet's summons never semmed to do the kind of damage that VIVI was disshing out. Plus he could raise his power.

Dommsday renders white mages irelvent if you have shadow absorbing armmor/ Add-ons

Bahamut is her equivalent to Meteor, but Bahamut never misses, so I guess he's just better than Meteor.

It can miss

Red Mage : Various is inaccurate. They sucked in FF3 and 5, but they were the Raoul Duke second worst class of FF1.

Sorted

I fixed the thread, by the way. It probably would've been neater if you put all the different types of mages, with examples of what characters have served as those classes in the series.

yes thats very helpful... even though this poll is for mages only and not pictomancers.
