| Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy. |

That was a good reason. Why didn't I think of that?

I think it was nice and different at the time, but it becomes a pain in the ass after you play again because it is time consuming, just like the sysytem in FF10 it is boring to use.

It is time consuming, having to draw new magics whenever you find a new monster...
But I liked it, overall. It gave a previously-unknown level of interactivity/customizability to the characters. Even compared to VII, In my opinion.

I didn't really like it all that much. Only thing I liked about it was you could assign it to your stats, and refine items from it. Even then you gotta get your GF to learn the ability to refine.
All-in-all, I think it was way to time-consuming. Half the time I'd miss, and when I actually did hit, I didn't get that many magics, and they were really weak. I give it two thumbs down.

I didn't like the Draw System much... it takes ages to draw all the magic you need to max out your stats, and you can only have so much in your inventory... it takes a while. Especially since I'm the kind of person who, when playing, draws 100 Cures, Fires, Blizzards, and Thunders before I even fight Ifrit. And by the time I fight Edea for the first time, 100 each of the other two levels as well.
Takes a long time.

I agree with you 100% the draw system sucked - im so glad they went back to actually HAVING MP in FFIX.
