If you pick Magus, you are a loser

[RedPouch]

I usually give all my magic tabs to whichever healer I'm going to use, actually. In my experience, of the people I know who play, without heavy New Game+ farming it would be highly unusually for him to get 17 unless that is the player's main focus.

That still isn't a lot though. I'm only on my second play-through of the game...

And in further thought after typing the last paragraph, it's not Magus's low Dark Matter multiplier that hurts him, it's the fact that stats cap out at 99.

Yeah but this isn't really worth mentioning since it's the same for everyone else as well. Whatever the stat cap is, everyone will have the chance to hit it, and you'll be in the same situation again. Basically, it sounds like you're saying that they have to make the stat cap higher for Magus alone [but keeping the limitation on everyone else] so he can shine.

I actualy identified with him somewhat strongly in the beginning of the game, and in the end he as turned into someone I truly despise.

May I ask why? I'm only curious. Squall is a so-so character to me, so I don't really think much of him either way.
