Magic Getting Way

[SnoopyG]

There is so many ways to get magic in the FF series. I dunno if this topic was posted already since I'm new and yeah. But all the different ways of getting magic is really troublesome. I'm a simple guy so I like doing simple things.

Really I like Final fantasy X-2 way of learning Magic. It was simple, easy and I like it. If there's any other way then please share.

In FFIV, they learned by level. Which was the easiest and nicest, so that's my favorite way. Once Rydia gets to level 60, she learns the best black magic spell, Meteo, in most of the other FFs (of the ones I've played), you'd have to have something rare in order to learn the best spells and such.

FF8's way is the best :jap: . yeah, it's easy , but some rather have it that way (like me )! it's absolutely no pain to go through unless you're lazy :jap: . FF10 is easy too, but you gotta bribe for black-magic spheres and it's quite costly :bgl: .

I have always liked the espers... Dunno why but I do, I just wish you wouldn't go so long without magic in that game.. I like magic

I like FFT's system, where you accumulate Job Points and then freely choose which abilities to spend them on. FFIV's system is also great if only for the simplicity of it all, but nothing beats learning a new spell or technique due to plot progression--Tella remembering his spells, being able to summon a monster after having beaten it in battle, that kind of thing.

Six's system is the best. You could use the Espers to make any characters you want have magic, but it can also be used like 4's system where certain characters learn spells at a given level. The option of using Espers is a plus.

I like to be able to permanantly learn my magic (which is the weak point of both the Materia and Junction systems), and out of all the FF games I've played, I favor the Esper system from FF6.

However, Kishi's explanation of Tactic's system has me thinking it'd probably get my vote if I had played more than a few hours of it. I really need to get my hands on another copy.

The Sphere Grid deserves mentioning. Spending hours trying to complete the grid is the only reason I played FFX so much.

I like the materia system the most, boring, but that's what I liked the most.

I actually liked the way you get them in FFIX the most. By equipment.
Ofcourse... the absolutely most genious way is the way you learn them with Blue Mages...

I liked finding new spells in KH, it makes my heart flutter to get Fira or Gravira by stumbling upon it.

I hate levelling to learn magic. It's just so stupid and makes me NOT want to level.

Buying them (ff5) was an awesome thing, but learning them works too. (6, X).

Um, and drawing was fun too </sarcasm> (although having a stock that actually *does* something was cool. usually my mp just sits there.)

learning them from weapons was probably the next worst though, imo-_-

[DarkLadyNyara]

I prefer buying the spells. It's conveniant, and since I tend to end up with alot of spare cash for some reason, money isn't usually a problem.

[Xander]

I really liked learning spells and abilities from weapons in FFIX =)

[Zante]

I liked magic from materia the most, it was the best in my opinion.

I thought the Sphere Grid was a fun and interesting concept. I really enjoyed it, actually.
