EDGEOFCHAOS'S PROFILE

Haha, I actually doubt it. They probably didn't have a clue what was going on. Oh well.

- This I don't really agree with... If you can Numb, for instance, half the enemies in a fight, it pretty much makes that fight trivial to win. Plus ailments are inflicted using the same stat you heal with, so anyone you spec as an ailment user is also filling a vital party role for difficult battles. Poison, Wrath, Sleep, and Malice also feel pretty useful to me just for dealing damage. Why is 50%, or even 40%, a bad rate for AoE statuses?

Well I meant 50% for landing at all in that use. It seems that around half of the time statuses miss everyone in the battle. I should have stated that better. For abilities like Numb and Gloom that are devastating, that's true. But consider early game statuses, namely Blind, Sleep, and Confuse.

Sleep: Players have to queue up all their orders at once, so this seems like one of the worst abilities because you can't change your orders when you see who it lands on. I suppose you could give Sleep to only your slowest team members, but it seems that people who learn statuses and have high will are really fast (scourge). Not only do you have the chance of waking up the target you slept the same turn, making the sleep literally a wasted turn, but you also cannot use party damage moves on characters slower than the caster (or you wake up 100%)

Confuse: Same deal as sleep

Blind: Lots of enemies have Tail Wind, nullifying this. And enemies also frequently hit through it. Despite that this seems like the most useful one of the early game skills.

To be honest, for abilities like Sleep I would prefer a single target spell with a very high chance of success. This would allow me to surely not wake up the target, and be able to focus down the dangerous members of the battle and remove them for some turns.

Numb is a really late game spell, and it's probably good that it misses frequently seeing how strong it is. The only reason I didn't spam it like Gloom is that I didn't find out who learned it til later.

Yeah I can't get the one where you heal, because the game soft-locks at this point. I got the Normal and True, but I didn't think there was any need to show the game over ending.
