Guys, try to post your reasons as if why you think it's "rubbish" or "ok."

For me, personally, I think it was ingenious.You could draw magicks and equip them to your stats, it gave the game a sense of realism, and I think it was fun. I also think that a lot of people who don't like the draw system never really took full advantage of it.

I thought it was the absolute worst way to obtain magic.

Me personally, I thought it was rather unique. However, the downside to this is I usually don't remember to use Draw on certain enemies.

So it was a good system, but easy to forget about it. >.o

I found it to be somewhat distasteful. Like Shenorai, I'd occasionally forget to do it in battle, and find that I've run out of spells. I decided to set times where I'd go on a mass Draw spree, that way I could at least keep up my healing spells, and those which are currently Junctioned to my stats.

Speaking of, I hated how you had to keep your Drawn magic stock high in order for your stats to actually benefit from junctioning. T'was a pain in the ass... but I guess that's all part of the challenge. Conclusively though, I still don't like the system. Purchasing seems much more 'me,' mainly for the reason I'm utterly lazy.

I was ok with drawing magic from enemies i even found it original but the fact that you lose magic as you use it kind of makes it pretty annoying i believe.

I ended up never casting magic because i did not want to lose it and then draw all over again!

I though it was good and bad, Why?...

Good: ~Not buying (wasteing) Your Gil on magic

Bad: You only have a limted amount of magic to use

But getting GF's from them is cool too
