*i agree status effects are useful when the right situation comes. it wasnt created by the genius crew of Square for nothing!

*what would a warrior do is hed be casted by a cripple or weakening effect?what would a spell caster do is hed be silenced or drained of mp?status are very handy!

Yes, I would definitely say that Sleep is useful to the game.

For FF10, I focused a little more on the characters who cast magic, so I would just put a creature to sleep and bombard it with magic spells.


It is better to kill monsters with the use of status ailments, because games are all about strategy. Plus, the bosses use them against you as well, so no guilt.

Pretty much. I rarely use spells like that, since they never seem to work. I use Sleep in old Dragon Quest games, though. They work great.

Status effects are definitely useful in the games if you know how to use them. Usually however, you'll only truly need them in a boss fight but apparently they are always immune and are likely to have the self-status effects in which case you'll have to use dispel. Status effects in general are only good if they are the the type you use on yourself. "Sleep" in specific, is pretty useless. The best way is to finish them quickly while they're awake than to take your time while they're asleep. Also, isn't it funny that someone is able to sleep in the middle of battle with fireballs flying around and teammates being slahsed to death?

against a boss it could be usefull to by time to heal your self and all

well if it dosent work curse em and just come back even harder after u heal of course
