Mem Aleph, and actually most bosses in Strange Journey I believe, aren't immune to status effects. It's pretty interesting and while never broken it can be really helpful in situations. On youtube there's a video of a guy who had the protagonist equiped with a weak as fuck but multihitting sword that can inflict charm while fighting her, actually seemed like a decent strategy.

That's what I like about Octopath, there's very little useless skills.
There are status effects, but your party has very few ways of inflicting them.
And the ones they can inflict (Poison) can be used on bosses.
Mason Collins
look up BLEED and see if you want to play if not then read the spoiler

If it is any consolation, he is statistically more likely to kill himself than you or I.

XV can't do a single thing right, good lord.

Final boss has 14 different phases and with it changes its weakness and effectiveness against your party members. In its last three phases it has a party wiping attack that puts all your party members around near death and you don't even have direct control over them. all while saying the same line every time it changes to its next phase
The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...

The INT based one. I don't remember the name, just the abilities. It had a pretty potent stun and could replenish shields based on INT, those two abilities were what kept me alive.

Fuck Persona.
Robert Sullivan
Yes, but I've never seen that bullshit. It hurts even to watch.
Justin Anderson
No, the gimmick in Persona is knocking down enemies, not pressing turns.
David Morris
Now how do you knock them down I wonder, and what exactly happens once you do?
Tyler Stewart
An All-Out Attack? Press turn is secondary in Persona, the point is to facilitate All-Out Attacks.
Also my memory is fuzzy on Persona 5 but I'm pretty sure some bosses allowed you to hit weaknesses and press turns without knockdowns (and even if they did they had ungodly resistance to AOA so it's a waste), which they even expanded on with the ability to tag someone in for extra damage and keep the chain going. I wouldn't mind seeing that in SMT at some point.
Thomas Carter
None of the main bosses have weaknesses and they are all immune to crits (which is the other way to get a knockdown)
>ability to tag someone in for extra damage and keep the chain going. I wouldn't mind seeing that in SMT at some point.
press turn works differently to persona and doing this would be more retarded than smirk already was

Yeah, though I found it easier to avoid than the ones in past games.
The Tyrants right as you get out of New LA and when you reach Sylvalum in X where hard as hell to avoid.

The Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2 had this. You wake up in a (I think Cerberus) facility and you basically murder everyone in your path solo while people are screaming on the radio stuff like "It's Shepard, oh god help me" and shit.

PF kingmaker has an entire dungeon of this garbage. There's a spell that prevents it, but it just so happens to be the exact spell level as the spell that restores stat drains, which that same level also likes to throw everywhere.
