Quistis may not be the best blue mage in the series but she will always hold a place in my heart.

Draw Siren from the Dollet Tower boss. Learn Life Mag-RF. Refine 5 Tents into 50 Curagas. Junction to HP. Never die again. You can also buy more Tents later to give everyone more HP than you'll ever need.

The best Blue Mage is the Final Fantasy 14 Blue Mage, because he's also the warrior of light and the warrior of darkness and also the best and the coolest because he's literally me, and also literally you.

Let's see, Final Fantasy characters who are defined as Blue Mages... It's really just Strago, Quistis, Quina, and Kimahri. Lotta hard c's there. Of those four, I'd say it's probably a toss up between Strago and Quina? Quistis is probably the best from a character writing standpoint... but that's not saying much, honestly. I think NikkolasKing might be right on this one, they kinda all blow. Though at least Kimahri has the benefit of being a cool cat dad man.

Strago and Quina are the most useful - grand train and frog drop give you big numbers. Quistis and Kihmari are the most interesting from a writing perspective, but Kihmari is probably the most useless.

Kimahri is the earliest permanent thief you can have, though it's not really THAT long after that Rikku joins and the most useful thing he can steal is the Lv. 3 Key Spheres in his solo fight anyway. He can be stronger than Auron early on, or he can be a faster Lulu, or he can even take over main healing duty from Yuna so she can just do the summoning game; magic boosts his Blue Magic, he's got White Wind, and he even gets Dispel and Reflect before Yuna normally would. A lot of Kimahri's normal grid positioning is basically allowing him to do things early before the defined paths overtake him. At least you can use him to unlock Holy and Ultima early.

The best Blue Mage is Gilgamesh. But other than him, Strago. Far too many of Quina's spells suuuuuuuuuck. Edit: Also Strago is best because all he has to do to learn skills is be alive and not blinded. Kimahri can learn skills easily but Kimahri sucks and can only use them as Soul Breaks.

All FFs with character customization are fun and cool if you refuse to grind out levels. Beating FFV around level 20 is so fun, and it's why I'm excited to play FF8 with random encounters turned off. I'm here to break some loving numbers with junctions and end the game at like level 9. I'm not even gonna gently caress with the curaga junction trick either, so it'll be like playing golden guns only. Before then I'm trying to do some blue mage fuckery in FFV but it's hard to do it without just learning where to learn cool spells or looking up enemy's levels which feels like a cheat.

VIII is actually easier at lower levels since enemies scale up with you, so you aren't really making it any harder on yourself. The hardest way to play would be to not use junctions at all and get Squall to level 100, but that's also boring because then you can't do anything other than attack and use items.

there's no real reason not to play VIII like any other FF and just fight random battles when they happen. you can augment your stats well enough with the junction system to keep up and it keeps some modicum of challenge to it--like you alluded to, a level 1 run of VIII would actually be way easier than a level 100 run because it's possible to get the best weapons and best junctions with some tedium, but nothing's really dependent on levels other than what some GFs can learn, I think, or at least what they can do (Siren can't mod a dark matter until she gets to level 100, but I can't remember if there's anything else)

Actually its just Attack. You need GFs to equip Item. It's dumb as hell.

Which only really matters in a no refine run. And you still have an out using the magic (items? Battle action? I forget) that levels enemies up manually.

NikkolasKing posted:You start with 5 Tents by default. Yeah this but I took it a little further and saved my gil to buy enough tents to max out everyone's hp. You can also grind AP by turning the flying fish enemies into cards at the beach near the garden. Powering up your GFs really helps. Just make sure to manually choose which abilities get unlocked next because the default order is like the worst possible. Also use the lamp as soon as you get it. Blind Diablos so he can't kill you then beat him for a free extra GF in the early game.

The one time I played through FFX to the credits my Kimahri had made both Wakka and Auron irrelevant, because he had the former's accuracy, and a weapon to break through armor, and both of their attack damage so he'd hit the damage cap every time, but also I never did and never will bother with all the dumb sidequest garbage in that game so I'm sure it was only worthwhile playing specifically just the main game. Especially considering my whimsical throwing of anybody anywhere on the grid with teleport spheres also involved loving Tidus out of having hastega until I specifically grinded for it at the final boss. Still don't think I ever really cared about his Blue Magic though.

Quistis is the first character in all of Final Fantasy to be able to break the 9999 damage cap, so that makes her the best blue mage.
