i was thinking off new Bad status that can work in this game , it will be fun if SE could add them :P


Zombie : Turn Player into undead , cure do damage instead of healing
curable by : Holy water , Cursna , Erase

Rage *berserk* : Player is locked out from Menu *like charm* and attack the NPC that cast it , increases both attack and enmity gain over time
curable by : Erase , wear off over time

Fear : Give negative bounces to the player rolls checks *like Critical , DA , Macc *
curable by : wear off over time

*edits*
sent to SE .. you now know who to blame if SE adds them ;p
 
I like zombie, but who would cast it? Undead?

Rage... meh. The way you sell it, it seems like a "negative status" effect that most people might actually want to have.

Fear is another good one, but I think that instead of being incurable, it should be cured by Warcry (which would either cancel out, or override the Fear status).

Not entirely, Berserk was the name of the status effect in other FF and when you were hit with it, you basically attacked uncontrollably. It's basically the equivalent of having berserk, silenced and amnesia all in one. You'd end up meat tanking with berserk and any mage would have real difficult curing or at the very least, trouble keeping a constant MP pool for chains. Depending on the game and/or circumstances, it could work out favorably or not. If a mage is raged, no one to cure the party or if a melee is raged, they can do more damage provided they can live long enough.
 
As a mage I always thought it would be helpful if players changed as they became afflicted with something, like turning purple when poisoned or gray when stoned, or green when bio'd.

I dunno might be fun, I recall the old Berserk on characters in FFVIII it made them look like they were blowing their tops, steam coming out their heads all red lol.

They do turn grey when they are petrified, it's brief but it does happen. I can see why they wouldn't make the change permanent, since they'd have to relay everyone's status to everyone else's computer for the visual effect to kick in.

you can blame the PS2 also :P

damn Camel man you beat me to it=/

I think it's ok that there isn't much visual effect of showing enfeebles, imagine rdm soloing something like Kretzeut...

You'd be kiting a radioactive rainbow chicken until it's dead. . .

LoL, visual effects would be nice, but I'd prefer more unique icons before visual effects; it's a bit annoying having 3 of the same status effects the same icon or enthunder having the same icon as beserk, warcry,etc...

ie, barsilence, baraero, and phalanx

It shouldn't have to relay an extra message, just a single message which says player is petrified. That message is already sent since you get it in your message log unless it's filtered. SE can very easily just add an extra visual effect to it, but I think it most likely has to do with PS2 not being able to handle the extra effects.
 
ooo, I like these ideas ^^.
 
Confusion might be another fun status to put in. Random chance of doing something completely wrong, like attacking another party member within range, casting random spells, curing the mob, etc.
 
I was thinking ZOmbie would be cool the other day actually lol


How about...Mini. Kinda like the frog status except, you'd become tiny (maybe young version of your race?) and be unable to attack or something ;<


I like confusion. It could be like 50% chance of doing what you tell yourself to do, other 50% might do something completely different.
 
Anyone recall how you used to wake somebody up asleep in FFVII? You slaped them, usually with the backend of your GS lol.

That might make sleepga more fun for when the lucky one gets to restoring dozing comardes. :)

That would be funny as hell if an HNM could cast that. Hard to take an HNM shell seriously when everyone in the shell looks like a 7 year old child! lmao


Zombie would be pretty badass, especially on mobs that like to spam drain spells, since you'd recover that HP and the mob would get deficited the same.

"Toad" is kind-of already in the game (and "Bat), I'd love to see Mini where everyone is turned in to child-galkas etc. <.<;
 
Yeah, if they can add Toad and Bat I don't see why they can't add Mini and a full Petrified pos.
 
Ooo these statuses are baaaaad.
I'd personally like to see Gradual Petrification. Which'd slowly make your attacks and casting slower and slower until you're completely petrified, then the petrification would last for a noticeably longer amount of time than other petrifies.
Only curable by Stona (or it'd also be an excuse to introduce Softs into the game). Probably only used by HNMs/Battlefield NMs.
 
"Mini" is technically already in the game, you just have to do Brenner sometime...

Incidentally, both Mini and Float are described as being "forbidden magics" when they're mentioned by NPCs, so I wonder if SE could possibly have something in store for us with a new subclass of Time/Space Magic. Then again, wishful thinking.

Oh yeah, it really would be nice if I could tell what status effects people were under just by looking at them, like I could with every other FF game...
