[Captain Maxx Power]

- I didn't know that

And knowing is half the battle.

- Then why did they make it?

Because it's just logical. Why allow HP over 9999 limit if you're not going to allow MP the same privalege? I'm not saying it shouldn't be in the game, I'm just saying it's grossly unnecessary.

- There are better armor abilities

That I don't doubt, but like all things different situations call for different tactics. I personally prefer Auto-Haste simply because it saves time (real life time) in the long run.

- I just don't like Wakka as a character. I know Attack Reels is really great, but it can kinda be a bitch to me and hit the miss icon, though.

One you learn the "trick" behind attack reels you can usually score 3 * 2 Hits almost consistently. Said trick is to wait for the "line" just before the desired slot (i.e. 2 hits) to pass the centre, then press X. With the first two it's the upper of the two "one hit" slots, and for the end slot it's the "miss" just above the one hit.
