What other games let you change the damage type without enchanments or socketing gems ,or something like this game: See the red damage number? That means he has a piece of gear, probably the amulet, that changes weapon damage to fire.
>>321316174
Souls games let you upgrade your weapons so that they get the damage type you wish.
>>321312206
>Bring boss down to 1% Health

God that's annoying.
>>321312348
Most fucking games do this too. Why put shit in the game if every "boss" character is immune to it? I swear, next game that prevents me from putting a boss to sleep, or poisoning him I'm dropping it.

Nearly every FF game has one of those. It's a stupid tradition to be honest.
>>321316174
Dragon's Crown has stuff like that once you get to the final difficulty level. Wizard can turn his lightning-based storm spell into ice, dwarf can turn his lightning Grand Smash into a screen-wide Blizzard, fighter gets a bunch of explosive stuff, etc.

Blocking explosions with swords boes´t make a bit of sense unless it is not mundane bocking but some frame perfect "No, you don´t, I have I-frames now, bitch." Royal Guard shit.
I don´t blame you anon.
>>321317657
that boss in particular wasnt immune to physical attacks, just had a lot of hp and hit like a truck, most people take the cheap way out and x-potion him. and its a shame, because hes my favourite.
>>321315342
I don't remember this one being anywhere that bad outside of the status effects. FFV generally paced its dungeons very well, only the Void can drag on due to the lack of save spots and very difficult encounters
>it's an "enemies take more damage the weaker your weapons are" dungeon
>>321318730

I´d say that makes for efficient grinding and encourages planning fights and using game mechanics to your advantage. What´s not to like?
>>321312206
>hahaha nigger
>hope you packed magic
>mastering only physical damage
>mastering only magick damage
Why do people do this? You gotta master everything if you wanna be the most poweful, specialization in only one thing makes you vulnerable as fuck.

It's literally a giant fucking area wide explosion that's so big it envelopes you and the entire screen in a bright light.

>>321319657
Magic is just a tool man, the same way muscles are.
Once you realise that, you'll be able to defeat anything.

Yes.

The real nightmare is the Sealed Temple, especially with its little sidequests like "catch a behemoth" or "bring the supersoft to the fuck-you-in-the-arse-hard boss". Thank god for Read Ahead on the latter.

It makes stats essentially pointless. You may as well just go to a pure perk-leveling system at that point because the only thing that matters are the use of your skills.
>>321318517
I remember when I was a kid playing it for the first time that someone in my party was about to get killed and Instead of using the x potion on it by mistake used it on the boss.
I went full "Fuck now i'll have to do all of that again" and to my surprise it killed it. Best outcome for messing up badly.

Why do games even do this, immunities are stupid in this context. They're okay when you're talking about something pokemon-like with flying characters being immune to ground, since every faggot is gonna have 4 moves and it's your own fault if you put 4 moves of the same type anyway.

Though this did get me a good Dugtrio in Firered. I used a repel to get through Diglett Cave, ran into a Dugtrio that was higher leveled than any of my Pokemon, couldn't run from it, and caught it despite my strongest two Pokemon being weak to ground.

I guess i could understand if it was silence or paralysis or something, but fucking poison? It can't break shit, it's just more damage.
