    Default Minor Annoyances

    What are some minor annoyances you found in this game? Nothing major, just little things that you could do without?

    I would like if they had a counter for the magic you're drawing in the fights so you can keep going without counting in your head how many you have and you don't have to end the fight to go check the menu. This would be especially helpful in boss fights so you can see how far off you are from some magics.

    Also, apparently when a GF completes an ability, the points suddenly stop and do not transfer over to another ability. I would change this too.

    "Magic" command.

    You never use it?!

    If you draw magic, enable it in the battle menu. That way you can just flip there and check the count instead of counting up in your head or having to go to the menu after the battle.

    Yeah I usually have Attack
    GF
    Draw
    Item/Recover/Treatment/Revive, some other command because I use all of those but I never use Magic because I am obsessed with keeping 100 of each magic.

    welp xD It would make your like a hell of a lot easier if you are obsessed with keeping 100 of each magic.

    I hadn't considered using the Magic command for that purpose though, so I'll have to sacrifice one of the other commands!

    I personally find the Item/Recover/Treatment/Revive commands useless.

    The dialog boxes in this game are pretty ugly. And the strict game of follow the leader. The two fools behind Squall were really in sync with his movements. But at least they tried to show other party members instead of having the main character absorb their bodies while roaming around, I guess. Chrono Cross spoiled me in both, I suppose.

    Nitpicking is fun! I should do this all the time.

    I can't really think of a "minor" annoyance associated with this game, the closest I can come up with is that the Junction system breaks the game's difficulty which only doesn't bother me because I still have fun using it, but I find most of my issues with the game to be major issues rather than minor inconveniences.

    It is a little annoying to me that magic is basically useless for dealing damage in this game. The majority of offensive magics only hit once, making limit breaks far superior. The exception to this is Meteor magic, due to the fact that it hits 10 times in one cast. Since I like using Quistis in my party, I usually have her cast Triple on herself, and then use Meteor. I do this to compensate for her ultimate limit break, Shockwave Pulsar, which doesn’t hit as hard as other limit breaks.

    It also would be nice to be able to hold more than 32 magics, but that’s no big deal, I guess.

    The fact most of the towns are boring and don't change. People in Deling City say the same thing at the start and end of Disk 3.

    That's really disappointing, given that there are a crapload of events between those points.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.
