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.

The draw system in FFVIII was great. I don't have to waste much money on magic because i could just draw magic from the enemies as well as some GF's (From certain bosses.)

I liked it. Yes it was time consuming, but I liked junctioning the magic drawn after battles.

I liked the Draw system. It would take a while to depleet 100 of a magic.
And since each character can carry a maximum of 3200 spells. You're talking 10000+ spells for all 6 characters. If you took the other FF's your MP would probably reach around 6000-10000 (7 and before). But think if each magic you had. (Let's say 100 Meteors). If you thought of it in a way Meteor would cost 1 MP and you could use it 100 Times. But in the other games it runs out much quicker. Think 3200 spells.....3200 mp....
<Just make sure you junction something with that Magic Stat>

I didn't like it all that much. It was a good idea, but your stats went down when you used magic. That sucked.

There was really no need to use a lot of magic. Here's what I did if my stats ever went down though - for instance, if someone had Curaga attached to their health, and I had to use a few of those spells to heal a character up, I would make sure any other who didnt have it junctioned/who wasnt been trained, had spare Curagas. Then I would transfer over the amount needed to the the Junctioned Curaga person, and then I'd be ok.

The only magic you would ever use would be Cure based magics, Meltdown, Haste, Aura, and maybe Esunas. They're all relatively easy to refine/find at draw points.

Best system right after XII's. ;D
