I prefer Fighters since I think they just have cooler moves (well, some do). I've never found the fascination with a mage holding a staff and muttering some words...it just doesn't appeal to me. In particular I love characters like Freya (FFIX) with her jump moves, and some of her helpful magic.

I suppose she is a kind of Hybrid Mage-Fighter.

Mages aren't as weak as you say, mages can distroy several
groups of enemies before running out of MP. But I have to choose fighters because that's the catagory that my lancer falls under.

Hmmm I always use mages just to keep it interesting and challenging.
When you use fighers, they usually get the job done before the battle even begins. =x

Celes from VI wins because she is fighter and a mage. And she's good at both.

For the most part, I've used more physical attacks than magical. FFX, for example, I found huge use in Auron and Wakka for their stat changing abilities. Although sort of magically infused, they're still physical attacks. Tactically, I'll go for stat changes.

However magic users have some stats-changing techniques too. Bio/Poison, for example. Magic users are far more destructive than those who attack a singular foe per turn, so in that sense I find more value in Mages. My personal preference is Magic, for the same reason as Aeris Gainsborough; damaging and healing magic. Which is why...


Blue Magic rocks.

Twas a hard question, but i went with fighters, although mages are essential in some cases. The main drawback to mages is MP. If you run out, have no ethers and are far from a healing spot then you're pretty much screwed.

I prefer melee fights .
specoally with sword.

but sometimes mages can be more usefull against some foes.
like FFX . there are some monsters , who can be hitten just by magic and fighters are useless there .


Don't look at me like that.
Yes , these posts look like eachother.
Upper ID was mine but get banned because of multiaccount.
Its a long story .

I used this ID SHAHAB to spam around and they banned me.
then after a very long time , I find out this is a good comunity . so I created SHAHABTHEANIGRAPHUSE then PMed an admin.
and explained everything.
Then he done a favor for me and disbanned SHAHAB and BANNED the other .
so I am here by now.a real member without spam
