So I never used Saboteur in FFXIII because "bosses aren't vulnerable to status effects" was my experience with FF games. I certainly never thought the final boss would be vulnerable to poison. The Undying in FFXII, the last FF I beat before XIII, certainly wasn't.
But apparently, status effects are more than just those things that annoy you to high hell. They can be a great ally and make bosses very easy. Every boss is susceptible to Slow in FFIV I hear and in FFV you can beat the superbosses with...Berserk and something else...Stop maybe?
I mean, I remember the Breaks were pretty good in FFX but that was about the only experience I had with using debuffs against bosses prior to FFXIII.
Oh and Vit 0 in FFVIII but that's FFVIII and we all know FFVIII is a goddam broken mess of a game.
Which game and which bosses are best for status effects from the perspective of the player? Which bosses can be made a joke using which statuses?
P.S.
Another reason I never used statue effects is because you often don't know if they can work but the enemy is just resistant, or if they are completely immune. Best to just not even bother with them was my way of thinking. Waste of valuable turns.
