magic should be free - Page 2

I agree with you. I only use magic to heal and increase stats in battle. Why? I'm afraid to run out of magic, and not be able to heal properly, which would lead me to using an ether, which in effect is MONEY! I'm the cheapest game player around. I try to not use items unless absolutely necessary. BTW you might like valkyrie profile, in that case.

MP is important to have So you are challenged in the game. Just like HP, if they were not there it would be too easy. If I remember correctly you can change jobs if you want so you don't need mp. If you want to heal without using a tent/cabin/inn/pot/ or water then it will cost you so your not being too lazy.

MAybe you should play FF8. It has no mp.

Dragon sword (dragoon?), Magical Waltz or something (Dancer) and probably some other ability all absorb MP from enemies.

I'm really cheap so using an ether anywhere other than boss battles is like a sin! They're so expensive. But, since I'm such a magic-god, I'm stuck with 2 or 3 mages for the whole game who do nothing but physical attack outside of boss battles and slight healing. This slows things down a bit, but meh, I love 'em. (Yes, Magic Waltz is a must)

If there were no MP, magic would probably be lowered next to worthless and if not so, then the game would just be way too easy.

You don't get Aspil for a while into the game. At least I don't think you get it before the living forest of mua place. 'cause that's where I am and I don't have it :] And I've conviently overwriten all my last game's saves so I can't look and see-.-

Checking a random faq, it appears you can't get aspil until you go to mirage. Which would mean that you had either a chocobo or an airship and could just go to the first town of the game and rest for 10g.

I suppose it's there for the cleft of dimension. Lots of tough enemies and lots of bosses. Asper can completley restore all MP after one or two uses and only costs 1MP. Cure3 and Asper and you'll never need any items

My advice: Deal with it.
