Magic User or Tank?

When you play your FF game, do you depend on your offensive magic users a lot? Or your high-strength melee attack characters?

Or, you try to have a most balanced team of characters in battle at any one time.

but dont you think some black magic spells and some status-inflicting spells can aid in melee attacks so much? And, a magic spell always look cool :Pkinetic-core

I like both, usually I will play one character to be uber melee and one character to be uber magic, everyone else try to balance.Brian_WCU

Go for the tank and, if your playing the right FF, give them one or two strong spells like Ultima. Or just play VI(***) and have every character a tank with good magic.

A balancd party, of course. You never know when you may encounter a enemy that makes one of either physical attacks or magical attacks impratical to use.RaiKageRyu

My parties are balanced but I like the sharp stabbing things more!

FFI: 2 Knights, one wielding an Excalibur, the other Masamune.

FFII: Magic just plained sucked in this game.

FFV: Duel wield and X-shot!

FFVI: Genji Gauntlet and Offering.

FFVII: 4 Cut with Added Cut Materia.

FFIX: Steiner's Climhazzard and Shock.

FFX: Hastega, I don't really consider this magic I know it is White Magic but it comes from Tidus so more support for me. Hastega and Quick Hit =pure pwnage.
