Blue Magic (In FF9) Is It Worth It?
 

Hi, so I'm playing Final Fantasy 9 and I'm on my way to Burmecia and I just got Quina. I was wondering if it's worth getting Blue Magic spells for him/her (?) because it's a real pain in the butt to try and hurt an enemy enough for Quina to "eat" it and gain a spell. In general, I don't particularly like Blue Magic in the FF series because I never know what's good to get and it's never worth the effort involved, particularly when you have a Black Mage to cast offensive spells for you.

So I'm asking, is it worth it for me to try and get Quina spells or should I just forget about the whole Blue Magic thing? Thanks.

Forget it. I don't think there's many, if any, instances where you need to use Quina.

Don't bother. If you happen to pick up a few blue spells from enemies on the way, great. But I wouldn't devote too much time to it, unless you're one of those hardcore FF completists that just have to have every single thing in the game. :) You can easily beat the game without Blue magic spells.

Blue magic has always bored me, FF9 being no exception.

I found blue magic to be very useful, but I guess I'm in the minority. Especially "angel's snack", "magic hammer" and "frog drop". If you have the right blue magic, you don't need other characters for healing or offensive spells, I found my best party to be Zidane, Quina, Freya and either Steiner or Dagger.

FF9 is a great game. I just finished it, an a year or something when I forget everything, I'll play it again.

You wouldn't happen to remember which enemies you have to eat in order to get all those good spells, would you Crazy Aoshi?

I guess I could always wade my way through a FAQ...
