Magic Systems

I think the best islike FF9 where not all character can use magic, there are types or each character such as: black mage (vivi), summoner (garnet), knight (steiner), etc.
So, each character is unique and i like that kind of gameplay

I disagree. I like FF8 the best. The more powerful the Gf, the more powerful the character. I loved everything about FF8, so dont be discouraged.

Sorry,I'd have to disagree on FF 8.
The "Draw" System of FF 8 sucks. You can just get magics from items if you have Item-to-Magic Refine ability from GFs. So why bother with that command.
I think FF 9 has the best use of Magic System for each job. Not everyone can use magics,and that would make different strategies for different players.
Even the main character has its limits, you know.

The system of FF7 is unique, but for me it also has a flaw. The nature of system itself made some things 'spammable'. For example, you can execute a command 8 times in one turn with the right materia and equipments, and in some situations, this seems too abusive. Then again, that's the beauty of this system, I think.

Personally, I like the system of Final Fantasy Tactics. Each job has their own set of abilities, but you can customized your character with any abilities you want within allowed range. You can have a tanker with healing power, a mage with support skills, etc.

The Materia system in FF7 is great. But it was further enhanced with FF8's Junction system. In my opinion, the Junction system is better than the Materia system.=)

the magic system of ff7 was really complicated for me. hehe i would say ff8 magic system is good but drawing from monster is kind of time consuming and you might die while drawing because it takes a long time to finish drawing. FF9 system is so irritating because the number of magics/abilities you can attach is limited to your slot number (the number of crystals). i think ff10 and ff12 magic system is better.

i think the junction system in FF8 was the best. it was the most revolutionary, and allowed for the most customization of characters. ff9 didnt allow for much, but the ability system was nice. ff7 was ok, with the growth and development of the materia. and the grid system in ff10 took a little bit to get used to, but it allowed for uber characters. has anyone filled the entire grid? i have for tidus, auron and yuna. nothing can touch them.
