Tadir Wrote:The Final Fantasy series in general is pretty varied when it comes to how people learn magic. Some do learn it through intense study, but a lot of their characters are mages. They were born that way. Look at Terra, Vivi, Rydia. They all were born with magic and that is how they are, whether they want it or not. Then there are those, like Celes or Kefka, who gain magic through a procedure.
So I think you can take as much freedom as you desire with your character's method of learning magic.
Very true. I guess the FF universe is rather flexible and we've seen quite a bunch of different characters using magic in different ways. I suppose that's only good, because like you said you can take a lot of freedom in writing your own character.
As for necromancy and such, I suppose it wouldn't be too strange, not to me, anyway. Though it would take some skill to emote it out properly (the minions). I'm still curious to see what we'll see NPCs and monsters do. For instance, will there be a evil sorceror somewhere that calls forth a demon? Pretty likely
Oh and can you actually use curative magic on undeads to damage them, in FFXIV?
