Who uses Offensive Magic ?

[Dreddz]

Is it me or do you hardly ever use Offensive Magic, other than when Im fighting flying enemies, I hardly ever use Offensive magic, I focus on melee attacks against almost everyone. Which is kinda sad, as magic is usually a big part of the Final Fantasy series, and seeing it overlooked in this installment is kind of a disappointment.

every waking second,

I used to have my fran as a spellcaster task specialist where she would be focus on using magic to counter enemy's strengths and using death spell and an asortment of time magic to halt enemy's like new groups from joining the fray while my other characters take out the first ones, or over come there hp with graviga and gravity then I promoted her to combat multiplier in which she now blasts away with blizzaga, darkga, thundaga and oil+fira (fira instead of firga to conserve mp) she is gambited to use these spells at enemy's if they have a elemental weak point if they don't have one she reverts to time magic slow,stop, and disable.

my main character Vaan as I have always saw him to be a sorta mage+fighter class in the FF series so I gave him powerful magic with a sword and shield.

Ma... gic?

What is this concoction of buttons that you speak of?

[Roto13]

I have Fran set to nuke enemies with their weaknesses. It helps when fighting multiple enemies.

[Crossblades]

The only person in my Party using offensive magic is Fran(both Black and Arcane)and I always have her spam her magic

[ValiantKnight]

If monsters = more than 3.. I consider using magic if they take decent damage from it.... ie.. pulling alot of the snakes in the uplands together and oil+firaga...

I use Bravery, faith, haste and other green magic all the time.. I use slow alot.
As far as blizzaga/firaga/aeroga/darkga/graviga/thundara.... only if multiple enemies... and you get the spells too late to really do much before then.

[rubah]

is Disable considered offensive? I use it when I get a bunch of monsters rushing me.

I don't have much else in the way of elemental magic, so if there's a monster weak to wind, I can't do much about it

It's a shame really, because this game makes it a lot easier to use magic, what with VS's regain ur mp!! walkingness.

[Dynast-Kid]

I use offensive magick all the time.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I use offensive magick all the time.

Same.

I have Fran set for some elemental weakness ones and then I change her gambit for non-elemental magic to fit the situation and my needs. Manually, I use Vaan to cast magic too.

[TasteyPies]

I use offensive magic whenever there are groups of three or more monsters hitting me, and I happen to have their weakness.

Level 35ish now
Vaan: Pladin / Red mage
Basche: Paladin / Red mage
Fran: Support / Combat Mage

I use lots of magic >.>

[edczxcvbnm]

I didn't really use Offensive magic at all...the same as every other FF game. I did however use magic more overall in this game than any previous FF game.

[Shintogoru Yagasaki]

I use offensive magic on most of the marks, especially those that are flans, and whenever I feel like battling elementals. Unfortuantely, elementals are be out of my league at the moment.

[Renmiri]

All the time!

Drain was my staple gambit forthe longest time!!

[farplaner]

the -aga spells are doing (at least nearly) max damage against enemies with weaknesses- Fran and Penelo being my mages. This is about twice any physical damage I'm doing without berserkers.

[Bunny]

When fighting a large group of enemies, I like using their weakness against them to deal massive amounts of damage at one time. It's nice to see multiple enemies drop at one time. Flying enemies get Magick treatment as well.

Green magic, however, is my most used. Haste, Bravery, Faith, and Protect are high on my list of used spells. Bubble and Decoy are my most overused Arcane Magicks.
