most annoying status effect

[black orb]

>>> Confusion is the most annoying, I think is better die than damage your own party and waste precious items..

[Lord Chainsaw]

I loathe confusion. I learned to FEAR it from playing the final battle in Legend of Dragoon.

Final Fantasy cuts you a bigger break with confusion in that once you get physically hit it wears off, but it is still something to be feared.

It's like sleep, but only worse. You can't control your characters like sleep, but unlike sleep, you're getting beaten to hell with your own guys.

That said, confusion isn't the worst. It's condemn.

I say condemn and not heat from FFIX because often times condemn is cast on the entire party making it truly terrible.

What about Death?

[DJZen]

Death almost always misses as a spell, and as a status it's easy to cure with a Pheonix Down or a Life spell. Most of the severe statuses don't bother me much since once they're done, that's it. Death, petrification, stop etc. just happen and that's it. Confusion also doesn't bother me 'cause it usually doesn't last long. Toad and mini suck pretty bad, but to me, nothing can even compare to slow. I hate waiting for my next turn while I just get the snot beaten out of me. It's like you're not dead, they still give you some hope, and then you just get stomped.
