Magic vs. Physical - Which attacks do you prefer using?

[Formalhaut]

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.
