What is the best element?

Yes, and why is that element best?

The element of surprise.

I am the wind, woosh! Also Oxygen so we breathe.

I think wind because it has the potential to overpower all the other elements, including fire.

Without oxygen (and thus, wind), fire cannot exist, and to end fire, all you'd have to do is make a area void of any and all wid/air.

The wind can push the water away.

With enough wind and power/speed behind it, the wind can move mountains, or any other earthly thing.

And without it, we'd all be dead!

Fire. It's got it's weaknesses yeah but it's a powerful and enchanting force.

HEART.

I would have to say that Psychic is the superior type. Just play Pokemon Red.

I'm sorry, peeps, I guess I wasn't clear at first...

By elements, I'm refering to the elements in Life. You know, the old, anchient elements... Fire, wind, water, earth.........

Of course, maybe I should make another poll for all elements! :-D

No, most of us are aware that you're attempting to ascertain which of the classical Greek elements are the best.

We decided to be sarcastic anyways.

Where's lightning?

I forget which crystal gave you the Dancer job class, but that one. (probably earth). Although water gives you Mimic, sooo


regarding the periodic table, I used to be Lady Arse[nic], so I'm partial to that still.

Fire can superheat air and eliminate all oxygen given the proper circumstances on it's own though.

I'm sure there are ways that each element can overpower the others.

My Zodiacal Sign Is Water (Aquarius) So...

Ah, but fire cannot exist without air, and if the wind pressure is strong enough, it can blow out the fire. Take camp fires for example. You've just made a miniscule flame that has to potential to be your camp fire, but when you blow on it to make it bigger, you end up snuffing it out. Wind overpowered fire there.

Lightning isn't really a true element. It's 'caused' by wind and water high up in the air in a storm...

Though it's scientificly plasma. o.o I'm not useing science, though.

That was only one specific example, as are yours. But I'm fairly certain that the entire premise behind the four classical elements is that they are all in balance with one another.

There can be no clear victor.

Hafnium!

Er...water.

Its arguable if wind is the strongest element. You state that a lack of air would put out a fire but that doesnt mean air is stronger than fire, it means lack of air is stronger than fire. Also if you think about it wind is caused by low air pressure and high air pressure, that is caused by the sun's heat which is fire. Without fire there would be no wind, only air.

Thank you for providing another example.

Actually Aquarius is an Air sign surprisingly enough ;)


Water is probably the strongest and easily the most overlooked since most RPGs relegate it to simply healing magic (I'm looking at you Golden Sun and Chrono series) but all living things are composed of water. Water is adaptable and can take three different forms. About the only element that can come close to it is Wind but they literally would fight each other to a standstill since neither could truly destroy each other.

Otherwise Soul, Psychic, or Darkness depending on which game :cool:

Some games I came across have sex as an element, so can I count that in? :bigsmile:

Fire. Because I like to burn :bou::bou::bou::bou:. But it's also synonymous with rebirth and strength and such. You know, all those heroic things. But they're all equal imo.

The Perfect Element.

How is the lamest element winning?? Wind is stupid.

Wind was pretty wicked in Goldensun.

Light element ftw!

That is if light and dark count, if not then erm... wind! ^^

Water is all washed up
wind totally blows
Fire just got fired

Earth Rocks

Balthier Rocks!
