I wasn't stuck playing as a person i though was a lame . That was my problem with FF4, When Cecil went Paladin, he was rubbish and I didn't want him. True, he got better but i wasn't happy being stuck pl;aying as a loser.....
FFIX was better in that instance since I could change them if i thought one was a loser. But you always had to make sure it was a balanced team. Not much stratigic there, and I liked that.
BUT I DID NOT LIKE HOW THEY GAINED ABILITIES.
It was childish, going back to the same style as FF7. I had moved on, i wanted them trying sonmething new. But the sat back in their chair (Squaresoft that is) and knocked a crappy abilities system.

Even if you didn't like FF8, then at least appreciate they tried something new.

Yes they tried something new. But there really is no point in ever one using magic. I liked FF4 because people could only do different things. It really made me think more about what I was doing in battle. It also made me think about what I need to do before I went on.

If I needed to be at a level I was not at then I woudl work for it. If I had even four people in the group I still had to think about what was the best why to win a boss battle.

I remember fighting Mandy, Candy, and Sandy. I had to think more about what I was doing and not just attack because I could. I also had to make sure my level was high enough so I could face them.

In other words when I won. I knew I won because I worked for it. At time in FF8 I did not have to work ever hard to different a boss. That is unitl I got to the last boss. But even then...


Tetra master was really crap compared to the simple yet addictive triple triad it was too confusing and the rules and card stats made no sense what soever plus if you ever got to the end of it there was a glitch.
You see I thought so at first. But once I learnd what to do It was more fun then Triple Triad.
