A question for the BLU peeps

[jon041065]

But if a BLU doesn't care that he's a burden, you'll be the one held back if he's randomly placed in your group. So you're also protected with that rule.

Not much different than someone that plays as an "ice mage" or hasn't melded their gear at all or doesn't have their job stone or hasn't done all their job quests or hasn't read what their abilities do so they are just mashing things randomly. I don't need SE to protect me. I'm a big boy and can handle those situations myself.

Nothing in the screenshots we saw tend to say that. It only show a spellbook, and spells seems to be completely out of order. And even if they had levels, it won't change anything because BLU will still have far more spells than he can equip. Like I already said, imagine the mess if every job could only equip half of its job skills, and you can't know what they have before entering the duty.

Yeah, the spells probably won't have a level requirement to USE them but could very well have one to learn them. I'd imagine it be like any other time you use matchmaking and you don't know what type of players you will be in a party with. I don't need SE to protect me from those situations.

It also sounds like you're assuming that a spell set can't be changed while in an instance.

This will be only one example, but since you can do a full run of FFIX at level 1, at least Quina is not restricted by his/her level. Khimari or Quistis also don't need any level to have access to any of their spells. And in every game you could still keep one of your paty member to level 1 and allow him/her to cast any spell at the very end.

Was Quina's chance at eating enemies tied to her level at all? I don't know for sure. Did lancet have a chance to fail on FF9? I don't remember. If it could miss then the chance could have been based on his level. Fair point on Quistis but she would still need to survive long enough to use her limit break.

For them, the community can't. Fear of matchmaking being unfair and end in conflict is their excuse for refusing to give depth to the game.

That's my guess. But I admit it's only a guess.

AFAIK, Eat success is only tied to the target's remaining HP.

Quina's ability to learn blue magic wasn't dependent on his/her lvl. I've recently done a low lvl Excalibur II run and you can learn all of the blue magic at lvl 1. Including Limit Glove, Lvl5 Death, Night, Auto-Life, etc. Lancet never failed in FFX, you just had to find the correct fiend to learn the overdrives.
