MISS

Don't you just hate that word? and don't you sometimes wonder if any status spell actually works in this game?

The status spells are cool in theory, but I never bother using them because they never work. Would be pretty badass to turn enemies into toads though.

Are there any status spells you use often?

I like using Sleep+All when I meet a group of enemies, especially if I'm going to steal from them. It usually works on at least some of them. It works well for the Search Crowns (picture below) on Mt. Corel, for example. They come in large groups and you can steal a Turbo Ether from each.

Hades + Added Effect + Slash All is pretty fun.
But by the time you've got all of those, your characters are usually strong enough that Statuses aren't much of an issue. The above combo works on Ruby Weapon's tentacles, though,

I use poison/bio on a lot of bosses. Works great and during end game the hades/added effect is good. I hate that one guy inthe glaciers that misses everytime. He's a big red guy I forget his name.

I hate that word on games like 8 and 10 when you can improve their Acc to MAX...but yet they still miss....

Honestly, except for maybe the odd Haste and Regen here and there, I never used status magic in any FF games until I realized in FFIV DS that you actually needed to in order to not get destroyed in later dungeons.

In random encounters I usually just try to do physical attacks and save my MP just in case a boss comes up without giving me the chance to heal, and status magic usually doesn't affect bosses except for the odd few, so yeah. I just pretty much let it sit.

I very rarely use status changes myself either. The only I use a lot is on my team. (It helps me get Limit Breaks faster, but I think my characters recieve more damage.)

I don't use them in any games. I never really see the need.
