Magic

The reason why you wouldn't have a use for half the spells in this game, things die WAAAY too fast.

i miss the old days where you could get certain spells or abilities from fighting mobs. you fight a mob and you can only get their special spell from them casting it on you. the way vii did materia was by far the best way i have dealt with magic in any rpg/mmo. too bad the materia system in place now is a bastardization of what materia was to the final fantasy series.

they are taking spells down to the bare minimum though because they have to make it simple enough for the lowest common denominator to be able to do it.

yes you could use all the spells. Problem is most didn't because they were not needed and pretty much useless. Just like 90% of bard songs.

We need access to ALL of our learned spells in battle. Currently, we can only use a limited amount of our spells at once. Magic should be separted from actions in some way. There could also be new spells added haste, slow, holy, meteor ect..

I never said you were ^.^ a bad whm. Nor was trying to imply it. Also whats wrong with having more stuff?

Because it is a wasted effort of SE to put in spells we will never use or need.

just like it was a wasted effort to pull out the spells that were used all the time? to remove stuff needed is just as bad as adding things not needed. both methods wasted development time that could have been used on more pressing matters.

Stop posting your opinion.

Wasted effort? SE should add more depth to this shallow battle that consists of dancing around your target or in mages case, casting the same damn spells. They should add more spells and place an importance on their usage.

How does adding a ton of pointless spells add more depth? And yes, majority of them would either be useless or redundant.

Read my post again. The answer lies within.

Why the hell do you people settle for less? Change is definitely needed, but removing things instead of improving them is detrimental. The spells being useless is not a favorable argument.
