Those Pesky Ailments

[Icarus]

I don't think I ever got hit with Disease in XII. What did that actually do?

The one in XII that pissed me off was Reverse, particularly when you're fighting Ultima. She'd hit you with Reverse and then cast a cure spell on you.

It also became a pain since I had to turn off my healing gambits.

Disease makes it so that you are always at max HP. Say that Cloud has 1000/1000 HP with Disease. If, say, a Wolf comes along and takes out 100 HP, his HP will become 900/900, therefore making healing spells obsolete. It can leave a character with 1/1 HP if you have Sap on as well. Does that clear things up?

Oh gawd, that sounds annoying.

Now that I think about it, I think I did get hit with that one once. Sap was also an annoying one, now that you mention it. I got hit with that one a lot. >_>

Confuse has to be my most hated one. I could care less about things like Poison or Echo because I can cure Poison with Antidotes and I never use that much magic to begin with, but when my characters start bashing each other it just gets really annoying.

I hated confuse in all games but and i especially hated zombie and confuse in 6 blind was also a bad one i hated having to waste a turn to cure it and if you didn't it would take the battle like 3 times longer .................I love beserk though it's awesome especially in 12

I'm going to have to hop on board with what a lot of people have been saying and agree that Confuse is the most annoying status ailment. Between losing control over a character and having a good chance that they'll attack another one of my party members, it's a huge annoyance.

Slow is pretty frustrating, too. It's like "Okay, I can still do what I need to do, but before I can do it I have to wait for this guy to take three turns." It makes me wish the game had eyes so that I could rip them out.
