/vr/ - Retro Games

help me understand this game. I love the graphics, the music is great, the plot is dumb as hell, and drawing is..kinda fun but

>when am I supposed to stock spells when I can just draw and cast during battle? I know life, cure(a), and I guess esuna are good to have plenty of, but it never seems like I have enough of a spell when I need it and I just find myself drawing and casting from enemies more than my own magic
>on that same note, why would I ever use melee if I basically have free casts from drawing
>why does the game love making me switch party members so much so I have to keep changing who has what GF? its really fucking annoying going into a battle and suddenly realizing I can only attack because some other party member has the GF I wanted
>why is it that I have all these spells and yet all the status modifiers(not the basic HP/str/vit, but the ones on the non-main screen) are grayed out and I cant add anything. I even did exactly what the tutorial told me too and its still grayed out
>do I get more GF's eventually? Im about to attempt the assasination and I still only have my default GF's
>what the fuck happened to seifer? did they SEE him disappear with the sorceress or not? how would he be executed if he joined her
