From what i'm understanding is that magic is going to be seen as more rare as you have to collect energy to make it into an element and then it's used as an item. So maybe they're going for a more thoughtful, conservative approach to magic.
I hope they make magic more useful. While the FFXIII saga made magic very viable, in FFXII, outside of curative spells and the buffing magick, offensive magick was very questionable. Even magic in FFX doesn't really work in the late-game with someone just spamming 'quick hit' at maximum strength.
