FF3 - weird magic structure...

Peter_20 · 09-16-2005, 04:57 PM

I know most of you don't care the slightest about this stuff, but I found the magic "structure" in FF3 to be pretty messed up.
For example, why didn't they put Bolt as LV1 magic, while Fire and Ice were there?
Why did they suddenly do it the correct way with the LV3 magic?
And why in God's name do they put Break BEFORE Ice3?!
It's really disturbing, Ice3 has always, ALWAYS stood BEFORE status stuff like Break, Doom etc.!
The magic placement looks like this in my version, so far:

Fire - Ice - Sleep
Bolt - Venom - Blind
Fire2 - Ice2 - Bolt2 (temporarily correct order)
Break - Ice3 - Shade (Ice3 AFTER BREAK?!)

If I were in charge on this, I would make it look like this:

Fire - Ice - Bolt
Sleep - Venom - Blind
Fire - Ice2 - Bolt2
Break - Shade - Erase

This looks a lot better, and I think most of you agree with me on this.

If they, for some creepy reason, were unable to change the structure, then why didn't they just put it this way?:

Fire - Ice - Sleep
Bolt - Venom - Blind
Fire2 - Ice2 - Bolt2
Ice3 - Break - Shade

I know it's not much of a problem, but I still find this stuff pretty funny.

If I remember correctly Bolt does more damage in general than Fire or Ice.

Don't forget that in FFI Ice is level two while Fire and Lit are level one. They were probably mimicing that model.

Yeah, I know about the LV2 Ice, but why?
Fire, Ice and Bolt are "siblings", IMHO, and should be ordered together.
It seems so weird placing ONE of them a level HIGHER everywhere!
