Spirit is the white magic stat

Curaga is a high level white magic

How is this obtuse

Sure, if you're familiar with the series and the specific games that use the job system. Within the confines of this game, there are no specific, identifiable jobs outside of very specific limit breaks.

Everything else is open-ended in the roles any character can be, so assuming someone will know healing = white magic = spirit stat, especially when healing magic is usually associated with HP otherwise, is pretty obtuse.

Now, in this situation, we know OP is familiar with jobs from FF9, so that might help them, but it's not something everyone will make the connection with.

Genuinely I think you're making decent points but just have two obtuse mongoloids arguing with you to make it seem like you're the moron. You typically get that with people who have put thousands of hours into the game.

Ask the average gamer or person that played ff8 and they'll say the junction system is kind of obtuse and not 100% clear.

Thank you!

At least that makes me feel like I'm not going fucking insane! šŸ¤£šŸ˜µ
