Now that's where we differ. Where you use healing items instead of healers, I have a general disdain for healing items (across all games, everywhere, except Zelda) and go for healers and healing magic instead. In an RPG, if it's possible to get some healing magic on a character, that'll be my very first goal, even if it's just some low level thing. One can usually count on every character in my party having a healing ability if at all possible. MP is a lot cheaper to restore, as a general rule, than items.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
