People often complain abt tiered Fire Fira Firaga magic in games like Final Fantasy, but sometimes it makes a lot of sense.
The spells may feel redundant but in a system like FF8's, where you equip spells to unique slots, suddenly having a few semi-redundant choices is tactical again.

thought this was really beautiful

You’ve talked about passing the baton in the loop of life. How do you want Hideo Kojima to be remembered when you pass it on?

I am not going to pass the baton to anyone. I will rather crush the baton… [Laughs.] I don’t need to give “Hideo Kojima” to anyone. If I pass the baton to my staff and tell them to make things the same way I do, the company will not succeed and will go out of business.

What do you mean by that?

Every day, if I tweet something that I like, a director or an actor or a musician contacts me. They say, “I’m a creator because of your games.” But they didn’t receive the baton of Hideo Kojima. They received my small fire. They’re not copying me. They’re not trying to be me. They have this fire, and they light up their own. And they’ll probably give that to someone else. There were legendary comic book artists when I was a boy. I didn’t become a comic book artist – I was inspired by them, I was influenced.

and NONE OF THOSE MATTER IN THIS FIGHT. the sexiest Poison ailment ever cares not about Poisonfucking or sandworm hp after 12 identical applications in 25 minutes. it gets old and my crops are dying. the crops in this metaphor are my "cool" skills mentioned above.

i think the biggest fundamental Thing turn-based rpg devs can do to improve their combat is to consider turn economy. there's a lot deeper nuance you could take into this, but on the surface level, everyone who's played an older game has felt this:

why use poison when the battle is over next turn?
