Objection

1. The power of 99.98 of the FF characters here use these things that are not allowed. Ho w can you not allow magic? The abillity use magic as an offense is the key to all victories in FF. To win in FF YOU NEED MAGIC! Now on to defense. Defending yourself with armor that protects against death or that absorbs a certain element is another key to victory in the Final Fantasy series.

First, I got rid of the armor rule, you're right that was stupid. You're not reading the magic rule correctly, Kuja. Go back and re-read it, I completely revised it to make it easier to understand.

2. What about Seymour Omnis? His ENTIRE arsenal is the most powerful elemental magic such as Firega and Waterga. He can't do shit if you can't use magic. No Ultima, no Dispel, he's fucked!

Seymour is a different story, as is Kuja, as is Sephiroth. Those are boss characters, and aren't capable of taking advantage of communal resources. Magic is part of their character, therefore they can use it. They aren't capable of sticking Knights of the Round + W-Summon + Mimic + Kill Everything On The Screen Materia on themselves in order to become retardedly powerful The game has already set the boundaries of their power, as opposed to the protagonist characters who have nearly no limits.

3. What about skills? Like Auto-Reflect? They aren't armor just skills that the person can learn to defend themselves. Other characters from other games get special stuff. They NEED these skills to survive.

I'll allow skills of that nature. The characters from FF9 are capable of learning skills like that, and it's all naturally learned, so I'll make this exception.

I hope this is a satisfactory answer, Kuja. I didn't say magic wasn't allowed. Go back an re-read the rule.

I like this new rule. I mean, don't we all just love those I cast Ultima 9999hp your 0wned arugments? Not only that, if any FF characters can use magic, what's the different between all the FF characters? Don't they have their own style of fighting, at all? (Well, that's why I dislike FF 10 so much...)

Exactly my point. Final Fantasy characters from here on out will have to use character-specific abilities and skills if they want the victory. If one of their character-specific skills includes Black Magic or Summoning, then so be it. If their repertoire consists of chainsaws and monster transformations, then that's what they have to rely upon.

I don't see what anybody is complaining about anyway. Cloud still has Omnislash and Squall still has Lionheart. They each have more than enough resources to use. Just not world-shattering, reality-molding magic spells or fifteen-minute summons.
