I didn't mind them. I had skills learned to get them faster (Can't remember the names) so I usually got to use them in important boss fights. Of course, I spent a lot of time leveling up, so I never had a problem either way.

When I got trance, it would be more like a fun surprise.

OK, I'm an idiot, whatever. I remember playing FFX later and going "What the hell? I can just level these up and save them for whenever? This is way too easy" Maybe a balance between the two would be better.

Actually, when Trance Garnet summons an Eidolon, that Eidolon will turn up again and again at regular intervals as long as Garnet remains in trance and does not summon another Eidolon.

Trance triples the amount of damage Steiner deals when using the Attack command, unless he has the Blood Sword equipped, and then damage is only increased by 50% like it is for all other characters in trance.

Which is great for getting Blue Magic. Once Quina has all it's blue magic, it has no need for trance.

When Zidane has a strong attack or Thievery, Dyne attacks just do similar damage for a higher MP cost. The only advantage Trance Zidane has is that he can attack multiple enemies at once.

Zidane's trance goes from being incredibly useful at the start of the game to being near-useless near the end. Even Quina's trance is marginally more useful near the end of the game - s/he gets the 50% attack bonus without sacrificing his/her Blue Magic, and using Cook s/he can instantly defeat enemies with less than 50% of their max HP.

The only reason i ever play ff games it trance. I replay ff7 and 8 repeatedly in a vain attempt to unlock trance. I beat Omega weapon on ff8 without using attack, magic and limit breaks but to no avail it did not reveal my love of trance despite the rumors. This does not lead to the ultimate ff master piece "TRANCE" If u can tell me how do get it on teh other games please let me know ...i will pay for sugestions.

I liked Trances and how they also played a role in the game when Kuja goes into it, but there is one aspect that ticked me off...

I think that when one of your characters goes into Trance, you should be able to choose when you wish to use it instead of being forced into it. Nothing irked me mroe than being forced into Overdrive with Zidane and never getting to use it because Quina sat on some frog and killed it too quick.

That's bullshit.
