I have only two words to say to Adam: STFU N00B! Ò_Ó
Are you dumb enough to don't notice that Eiko and Garnet are both Summoner/White Mages because (SPOILER)both of them are from Madain Sari, THE VILLAGE OF LOST SUMMONERS
The only game that FFIX is related is FFI... and that doesn't change the fact that FFIX KICK THE FAT ASS of FFVIII.
In FFVIII all chars are the same -_- same commands, same magic, etc... Only the limit breaks change...
