I like to "get rid" of the grinding battles as quickly as possible, so I have a tendency to prefer fighters over magic casters. Usually, magic has a little animation that takes more time than a fighter doing a simple attack.

I'm the same.  Just finished a VIII playthrough tonight and still used Zell, Squall, Irvine as usual.  Irvine's limit using AP ammo is great.  But I avoid magic users and annoying comedy characters until I need to max them out as part of a completion run.

On a side note Quistis is up there with the most insignificant characters of any of the FF's I've played, never ever use her.  I use Quina far more than I use Quistis.  Not a popular opinion on here lol.

Quina is amazing. Jokey character or not, I found s/he waaaay more useful than the likes of Freya and Amarant.

On that subject, the pacing of character addition is way out of whack in FFIX. You lose so much time with Freya that she's critically underlevelled when you get her back, and you get Amarant too late in the game to really build him up.

Same with Steiner.  I can't believe that game has 8 pcs but you can only use 4 of them for a huge chunk of the game and don't get all of them until you're over halfway through the entire thing.

The storyline is just set up that way. At least it has a good storyline so it was worth it. in FF13 you dont get to use a full party justified by "its for the story"  and yet the storyline is total shit, what a waste. But still I agree, it was too bad you didn't get to use him through more fhte game.

Sometimes I just use the characters whose useful moves are the fastest battle animations. I'll ignore magic in FF8 simply because it takes forever to cast it.  I think this is what you guys mean when you say you use fighters and not mages? If you put your ATB on maximum speed, you can get more damage per real time than you could summoning a real strong gaurdian. That means someone using guardians playing the game will take longer to beat it than someone only using attacks. Not true for every battle but in most situations in that game yeah it is.
