Whatever you say reflects off me and sticks on you

(tags game, Playstation 2, RPG, Final Fantasy, programming)

Everybody knows about that "reflect" magic trick in Final Fantasy series, right? It's not quite up there with the Konami code, but it's like one of those basic console RPG gamer things, I think. That is, cast "reflect" on your party and then cast evil, "black arts" incantations on said party members and watch the spells reflect off and hit onto monsters.

Well, I bought a party set of reflect armor, and mainly do battle with lower (?) magic enemies. It's like this: Oh I see magic enemy in the distance, gotta change my armor, fight! Then quickly change out of the reflect armor before the stupid characters try to spell-heal themselves and waste spell points in the process. I must have done that exact sequence about 20 times in one area.

BTW, I beat that bomb boss with the reflect armor set. Piece of cake, easy as pie.

Already 72 hours with FF12. Still the end is not in sight. Am I just concentrating on leveling up?!?!
