Elemental Fear

[Hazzard]

I suffer from this. I hate when they show up. Why? Because it messes up my party and makes me have to waste my MP on quicknings. How do you feel about this nasty little buggers? Do they really get under your toes???

[BlackWaltz]

every time i see one i myself and run, thats why i love them, i fear them!

[Nominus Experse]

They give a lovely amount of Exp. and LP; thus, I love them madly

*GARNIE FLEEING
RUN AWAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

If you are not into pissing off Elementals and Entites, refrain from casting any magick around them. If they sense Mist, they start looking for blood.

I enjoy hacking up an Entite or two in search of rare drops.

Pfft after you get far enough in the game they just become a nuiscence

[rubah]

R2 is a marvelous button until you get to a Level.

They really are a problem in the beginning of the game, when usually the thing that causes them to attack you is usually when your party does:

1. Using magick around a group of enemies when an elemental *conveniently* shows up.

2. A gambit using something such as Cure when a party member is at low health when one happens to be around.

3. Gambits such as Ally:Any > Protect that your party accidentally uses when you are walking by an elemental.

These were usually what happened to me when I got them angry at me.
Elementals are somewhat of a nuisance and potentially dangerous to me, but I could usually just use the magick element that they are weak against or string some Quickenings. Now Entites are the problem for me, since their attacks are MUCH more powerful than that of elementals; for example, while a Storm Elemental can cast Silence and Thundara, a Mardu Entite can use Silencega and Thundaga. They also have much more HP as well, so much that I can't kill them even with good strings of Quickenings from both my parties.

A word of advice to those who are not easily able to beat them:

Use R2, go into "fleeing" mode and RUN when you see them, just to be 100% sure you don't end up accidentally using magick against them due to either other enemies or gambits.

Haha yeah, I used to feel the same...I never fought them ever. I do now though, havnt found one thats very difficult anymore, but 20 levels ago I'd always flee

[look_out_below]

I can fight most of them now the only one i have not tried fighting against recently is the Salamender one in Yensa Sandsea. Those ones annoyed me greatly when i was first trying to get across that area with their firaga cast. Its like "Wow look at the minature sun coming towards me. I bet i can get some cool loot off it. BLAST. GAME OVER.......stupid sun."

I ALSO SUFFER FROM THIS.

I never fight elementals!! TOO SCARY.

I had an Undin Entite that literally OWNED me one time. It was in a ringed section of the Pharos Tower. It was right after I had fought a boss, next door to the section where I fought him.

The strange thing about this Entite was that it was aggressive/hostile to begin with. I DID NOT use magic around it nor did I do anything to provoke it. It simply started messing with me as soon as I saw it (bar was red). First thing it did was cast Sleepga at everyone, and this put all of my guys to sleep. Then it spammed Waterga until everybody was dead. I had no time to flee as soon as it started using Sleepga.

When my active party died, I switched my reserves in, and the Entite continued its Waterga spamming. This killed two of my other guys, and Ashe was the only one left alive. I luckily flee'ed away from it with her. I managed to flee all the way back to the save crystal I had saved at before the boss.

All of the other Entites and Elementals have only attacked me if I used magic around them. One exception was Vagrant Soul, but he's a rare game.

[Remedy]

well, don't cast magic around elements.
don't heal your party when you're near an element even if U were hit by other monsters.
unfair isn't it !

[Formalhaut]

Luckly, I am not at that stage in the game where they show up. BUT I am SH**ING my self though.

[ValiantKnight]

I kill elementals soon as I can... after the tomb usually.
Entites are another story, pumping out 2000+ damage in the form of thundaga, plus using sleepga and silencega, both of which I don't have a defense against at the moment. I can easily kill elementals, but Entites are a 20/80 split.. 20% chance i'll kill them, 80% chance im dead.
