    Got that right. I guess that's an advantage to the GBA version. No reducing stats = increases across the board with consistency.

    It's still not a great idea in DoS since you have to raise TWO magic stats. That and the more spells you have to learn, the slower it's gonna be to level up.

    Probably the best way to go about it (and the best way to do Red Mages period) is to specialise in Buff/Debuff spells. The magic stats don't really apply for the Buff skill, more the skill level. Plus using them in every battle will soon knock them up. Plus their effects are usually consistent (Aura needs to be higher level to be more effective). Debuffers are a bit iffy, but again it's more the spell level itself. Offensive wise nothing beats a good old melee weapon.

    Each unto their own I guess, but I'm a sucker for shields, and bare-handed sucks unless it's done completely bare.

    I only give Firion shields. Everyone else uses two hands for weapons. And yeah, Red Mages are a bad idea here. I always make Maria a Black Mage and Firion a Paladin. Everyone else sticks to physical attacks

    Well I do like the idea of a buff/debuff red mage, but shields = no.

    The only gripe I have about IIJ is the fake walls. *Inserts &^%$#@!*
    Hisui & Kohaku: I play as them in Melty Blood.

    People don't like FFII because they were never desperate to play it and see what it was like while the rest of us were.

    Because it is rather odd, the music isn't as good, there are planes constantly moving on the world map and there is NO PROPER LEVELING UP. 'nuff said

    Because they're afraid of the sheer awesomness this game expels.

    That, or they're horrible idiots.

    Do you mean the Final Battle Music, the music that plays when you're facing the Sergeant, or the one that plays when you're facing the Queen Lamia?
