If arrows auto-equipped when you run out, then I wouldn't mind it so much. Except that I can never seem to get my archers to do any good damage.

If arrows auto-equipped, you would risk having crappy arrows or arrows with the wrong elements loaded, and then would have to waste a turn correcting the situation.
Maybe if, upon running out of arrows, a prompt appeared asking you which type of arrow you want to equip. That might be better.

I never really used arrows, so... But if I had to choose, I'd choose unlimited. I hated/would hate having to waste gil on arrows instead of more useful things.

Limited arrows are a huge pain in the ass. In FFIV, I always equipped Rosa with a staff instead of arrows unless it was a boss fight.
Unlimted arrows, but still have the ability to equip different quivers for tactical purposes.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Unlimited......arrows so expensive
Enter The Wired....
...join me into my pilgrimage of destroying yuna....Ahahaha
I'm in favor of unlimited. But if you want to make it realistic (no one chases after their arrows, seriously) make the number of arrows limited, but to prevent people from not using archers or bows, make it so you have to repair weapons as well. That way everybody has to pay more for their attacks. Or perhaps make the arrows limited, but do a Zelda thing and make it cost x gil to shoot each time (the stronger the arrow, the more it costs per shot).
But, my preference is still unlimited arrow usage.
You run after arrows if you're doing target practice:P Or at least I did, because I only had one arrow. (and no bow, and my dad took the tip off the arrow. I was seven after all. . .)
and if they miss, then well, then they can go get them. otherwise it could just dissolve in the enemy?
Upon actually playing FFIV and having to deal with said limited arrows - they're a pain.
I either end up buying too many and having them go to waste when a character suddenly leaves the party (I keep forgetting to unequip them first, silly me.) or they sit in my inventory, where I wish I could just throw them at something.

Limited, though only in FFIV. Dunno why it's such a "problem", I never needed money for them since only Rosa used them and only then because of Aim.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
I thought limited arrows were pretty cool. It added an element to the game where you had to pay attention or you lost a small chunk of your firepower. Made the experience more engrossing. But hey, that is just my opinion...
Arrows never appealed to me. They weren't as effective as swords and they were weaker than spells.
The arrows should have a more useful and original purpose. Then they'd be a novelty, and then they should definately be limited and expensive.
But under current systems, they may as well be unlimited.
