RENO'S PROFILE

I like your idea about teaching partial spells you have to practice, that would definitely be more user-friendly. I'm not too keen on having you learn those automatically at predetermined increments... just seems to violate the spirit of it in my opinion.

Personally I'm rather neutral to blue mages. They are awesome at full power but they take a lot of work and time. The thing I hate the most about blue mages is when you have to be in the blue mage job (or in FF5's case, use your skill slot on Learning) to be able to learn blue magic- I know that's kind of a "no duh" thing but for examples like FF5 or FF10-2 I end up just ditching that job altogether.

FF7 and FF9 in my opinion are examples of how to do blue magic right. In FF7's case, one materia slot is a pretty small price to be able to learn blue magic and in FF9 (even though I could take or leave the Eat command), blue magic was relatively abundant and easy to obtain. So I think blue magic would be awesome as long as you make the ability to learn it readily available while the player is still able to use another job and/or use other abilities.

Or in lieu of that, maybe have the basic blue magic spells really easy to obtain so that a blue mage can have a leg to stand on and be a practical choice of party member before they find the more powerful spells.

Hey some of those look awesome, I'll definitely have to take a look. Thanks for posting them!
