Why do debuffs exist in JRPG's?

Why do Aquaposters exist on Any Forums?

This is why (outside a couple exceptions) turn-based RPGs are shit. You're better off just mashing attack or spamming your strongest skills, and at that point you'd be better off just playing an action RPG since there'd be at least a little bit of skill involved.
Cameron Wright
Invest in buffs, not on debuffs.

This applies to all RPG's in general. Strategy never matters. Those 100's of skills and stats and builds you can make? Just put all points into damage and use strongest move. Applies to all JRPG's, RPG's, everything. It's because most of their sales come from retards.

>Death spells consistently work on any dragon type enemies, which are all incredibly strong with strong AOE damage
>Debuffs actually make a difference
>Status spells regularly work on the enemy types that it would be most logical/effective to work on e.g. Confusion and Blind spells work on warrior types.

in Persona, debuffs are done okay. it works on all enemies. my real issue in JRPGs are status effects. they usually have shit accuracy to balance them and they only last a couple turns. you're almost always better off attacking normally than bothering with them. Bosses are usually immune to them all so there's no point in investing in them.
Benjamin Murphy
except the one strong enemy that is weak to blind but you have no way of knowing
you weren't trying every status effect on every enemy??? BAKA!!
Brandon Sanchez
Debuffs exist for the one or two bosses who can be afflicted by them. Usually these bosses are poorly balanced so the devs decided “hey just make him weak to confusion and poison lmao”

for the average enemies you fucking retard.

Atlus games in general handle debuffs pretty well, especially Etrian Odyssey.

Status Effects in RPGs are balanced around the idea that enemies will use them against you, not that you will use it versus them.
Gabriel Davis
Because like all things, the gooks copied them from White people games without understanding them.
