    You do realize that the one thing that sets BradyGames apart from all other guide publishers is Brady's uncanny ability to be wrong 99.999% of the time?

    Wow that's a big percentage.

    I get annoyed that you can't use your abilities from other jobs once you change job.

    I marvel at how extremely lightly everyone takes the sucky magic structure.

    I mean, this does NOT look good:

    Break - Ice3 - Shade
    Bolt3 - Kill - Erase
    Fire3 - Bio - Warp
    Quake - Brak2 - Drain

    What damn kind of sucky structure is that, seriously?
    THIS would have looked MUCH better:

    Ice3 - Break - Shade
    Bolt3 - Kill - Erase
    Fire3 - Bio - Warp
    Quake - Brak2 - Drain

    It makes much more sense: the elementals share the same column, as do the Break spells.

    Yeah, I know it's no big deal, but it does annoy me.
    Elementals are supposed to be listed BEFORE stuff like Break.
    Have you ever seen stuff like Haste and Reflect stand before the basic spell Cure?

    Um, they are in the order that you learn them. They can be in any order you want. if it bother you so much, buy another break and shade.

    Then with the person who has that order, get rid of break and shade. Ice 3 is now on the left. Then learn break first. Now its in the middle, and shade last.

    Edit: Forgot to put one more thing I don't like. The intro for this game teased me >_>. I spent more than a couple of hours hoping that the game would have some more good graphics.

    And the summons, you see them for like 2 seconds.

    like the poster above me said, it's in the order you learn them. You do not need to buy the spell again if you remove it though, it just gets put into your inventory, so you can learn them in any order you want.
    Blizzard Fire Sleep
    Poison Blind Thunder
    Blizzara Fira Thundara
    Blizzaga Break Shade
    Raze Erase Thundaga
    Bio Firage Warp
    etc...

    I arranged it that way by unlearning spells and putting them in the order I wanted

    In the server admin world, the five nines means that a service can only be available for roughly 5 minutes per year.

    In Brady's world, it means they can technically get something right once per book as long as they present the information in a deceptive enough manner that the entirety of the reader base misses the point completely.

    *didn't know about spells going back to inventory*

    Thanks jackal :-D. here I thought it could cost as much as 20k just to move around some spells >_>. Also makes the extra spells I bought kind of useless >_>.

    I tried buying Cure2, Exit and Wash in my preferred order once (so that Wash shared the same column as Pure, and Exit the same column as Warp), but they still ended up in the same boring order, no matter what I did.

    New thing I hate about this game: The end boss is too bloody hard.

    ...but there's a very good strategy:

    NINJA: Shuriken + Shuriken
    NINJA: Shuriken + Shuriken
    SAGE: Cure4
    SAGE: Cure4

    Kinda mainstream strategy, though. -.-

    My main urk right now (DS version) is that the bosses are about a million times harder than the mobs you have to kill to get to the boss, which is what I usually use as a gauge of how i'm doing. My guys are at lvl 30 right now and I'm going up against Odin under Saronia. Getting there is a cakewalk, I can kill the monsters while taking next to no damage. However, once I finally GET to Odin and I think I'm doing well, he just does his 1300-damage-to-everyone move and everyone's dead. Reading more through the forum, I learned that you should be at least lvl 40 before tackling Odin (presumably to have enough HP to survive that attack). So there's a 10-level difference between the monsters in the dungeon and the boss?? I'm questioning whether its worth it to grind for 10 levels, or just get FF6 in a couple days and play that, heh.
