Several Final Fantasy games have had different ways in which magic was learned. For many, it's a job thing, the job your character is determines how you learn it, and for others it is a seemingly inborn trait that some have and some do not. VI had espers, VII had materia, VIII had drawing, etc. etc..

So the question is, story-wise which do you find the most appealing? Do you like a world where magic only can be drawn from foes? Or perhaps a world where magic comes from magical beings who infuse humans with their power? And let us not forget a world where little shiny stones give people magic. Which do you prefer?
