This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I feel like Square-Enix in particular over-corrected on status effects after FF6 had the Vanish/Doom combo, Fenix Down items used on undead instantly killing them, etc.

If by over-corrected you mean made perfect, I agree

Pretty sure Phoenix Down insta killing undead continued afterwards, I recall that working in FF Tactics

There's something of a tradition in Final Fantasy of having one undead boss that can be killed instantly with a phoenix down.

At least by X they'd toned it down to dealing the damage limit, so you'd have to use a whole 3 or 4 phoenix downs.

Nice. It's been a hot minute since I've played any FFs
