Magic Scrolls - {Can I have it?}

Huh? So you are saying we shouldn't have separate tiered magic at the end of your post? Because I use the lower tier magics all the time when its MP efficient to do so. Also to say that Fire = Fira = Firaga (or any similar setup) is silly, they are all fire spells yes but they are all different in power and if you are in fact a MP conscious mage then you would use all your tiers and consider them all unique in the fact that they cost less and deal varying amounts of damage.

I like the idea of obtaining scrolls to get magic, however, that said, I don't want any mage to have to go through something similar to FFXI's tier IV magic spells with less that 2% drop rates on monsters that spawn once every 15 minutes, or purchase them for insane amounts of gil.

But the mere fact that you have to obtain those spells (and I think some abilities that are not directly tied to the weapon; ie: WSs) give yet another sense of achievement, making you feel more proud to have your character, and that you didn't just grind/PL to 50 with little to no merit.

I personally love the idea of earning really powerful spells with a sense of achievement. But I refuse to have to buy Cure, Fire, Blizzard, etc.. We should be able to learn the common spells at least. I can completely understand wanting to feel like you earned the rights to use Burst, Quake, Freeze or Flood (Ancient Magic).

I certainly refuse to have to buy any spells. If you don't learn it by leveling, the only way you should acquire it is through scrolls or quests. Not through currency of any kind. This is now an MMO Final Fantasy, not a single player adventure where gil is practically thrown at you.

That's how I feel.

So... sort of like how they're implementing Job quests that you have to complete before getting access to the bigger and badder spells?

If that is what the plan is, then yes.
