This is a shout out to those who love their status effects. From Stop to Slow, Poison to Sleep, Freeze to Paralyze, Reflect to Guard. You bold status effects may not be as flashy as the offensive school of magic, but you are still beloved to those who enjoy a good sense of strategy to their slugfest.

 

And to all those naysayers who believe that Status Effect magic is simply boring...

 

YOU'D BEST BE A ZOMBIE! *zap*

I hereby approve of this thread.

I would like to become a part of this! Status effects are a great way to deal with normal enemies.

If this includes getting confused in Pokemon, then I'm in!

I hereby reject your status ailments with the following:

Me too.

 

Toxic anyone?

I wouuulldd like them, if they worked on bosses that is.

You sir, are a genius.

Me too.

It's why poison types are my favorite.

I don't really have a favourite type

I think it's either Ghost, Fire, Electric, Psychic or Ice.

ignite destroys bosses

There's nothing better than having your opponent whip out their legendary pokemon, Hyper Beams and Psybeams and Hydro Pumps just raring to go, and then your lowly Parasite hits them with Stun Spore, and they can do little but flail inneffectually as you Scratch them to death.

Casting zombie on an enemy that likes to spam-cure itself makes me feel powerful...

It really REALLY varies

In Pokemon, status effects are actually pretty nice.

But in a lot of Final Fantasies, statuses are either ridiculously weak, or way too powerful.

I LOVE it when a game actually lets me use status effects on major bosses... it's not so much fun when you think 'Enemy casts magic? Silence!' IMMUNE. What's this? An enemy that never uses physical attacks? THEN WHAT'S the point of blinding it!?

I love and hate FFX's status effects. it's REALLY fun to find a move that actually works on an enemy, and because the combat system is rock paper scissors, odds are SOMETHING will work. But when you get surprised by a Malboro, who confuses, poisons, blinds and berserks all of my party members, forcing me to watch them slowly kill each other to death... then t's just obnoxious.

I guess you might say status effects are pretty...

Hit or miss
