It's over if berserk was status'd on two or more party members.

only From does this.

it's like we played the same shitty JRPGs
>>318424246
I did and all status prevention options but zombie and berserk made it into a attrition battle with quina and eiko rezzing and healing the other party member making it a slog through.

>Boss has a party wipe move
>His skill usage is completely random
>You can stun him for 1-2 turns at a time
>He has a chance to go first and use the party wipe move right off the bat with almost no time to really prepare
>has 3 other mini bosses with him that have various skills that can combo off each other
I had to cheese Braccus Rex in order to beat his ass.
aside from Sleep Status, Paralyze Status and possibly lowering enemy accuracy is there literally any reason to inflict statuses anyways?

Fuck breh
This shit was apparent in ffvi when grinding the dinosaurs in that one forest area. One of the dinosaurs that gave a SHITLOAD of exp had a random move set and one of those moves was an insta-party-kill-move. Had to pray to God that you could kill those fuckers before the party wipe attack randomly came outside
>Prepare for the final boss fight expecting the worst
>Bring lots of healing items and magic
>Final boss only has 2 attacks, a regular physical attack and an all hitting physical attack
>The first one doesn't even deal more then 20 damage out of 300 HP on any character
I was a little bit disappointed.

Poison is great in some games, if it's either something passively you can slap onto normal attacks or if it's a set % of damage and you're dealing with things with extremely high HP/DEF.
>>318425709
poison helps add to the party's dps and rage/berserk make magic enemies easier. So it can help the party tremendously depending on the game.
