Blue Mages - Page 4

As Saix said once before in this topic, if you think Blue Magic is pointless, you clearly haven't played around with it enough. I agree that it is underplayed in a lot of games but it does a really good job of taking the very best attacks in the game, the ones that make you go "dammit, this monster is so damn tough", and puts it in your arsenal. If your patient enough to collect them and smart enough to use them then you practically have access to the best magic in the game.

Agreed.

As I remember fighting a hord of Chimira's in FFX in Home and Kimahri's Stone Breath sure did come in handy. =).

I'd have to say Quistis.
Now I hate FF8 as much as the next guy but I still think they got Blue Magic right.

In ff8 you didn't actually have to use the character to gain magic, That was my problem in FF9 and FFX,(Nobody wants to use a Pink Blob and a giant cat) When you kill an enemy in FF* they may drop an item that teaches the magic, that stops you from having to run all around the world gathering magic if you decide to use your blue mage character.

all blue mages suck, that's about it.. they're always terribly useless and underpowered

all other classes are stronger or more versatile
