That one Final Fantasy boss fight that you can one hit kill with a healing potion tho was badass.

AngryCommieKender , 10 months ago

If you’re referring to Everae Altana (sp?) It took 2 phoenix downs to kill him the easy way. Dude was a slog any other way.

Final Fantasy X is the specific game.

WayTooDank , 10 months ago

The Phantom Train, which IIRC was in part 6, died in a single phoenix down.

DragonTypeWyvern , 10 months ago

There are quite a few of them. There was pretty much one every game you could target enemies with heals in.

AngryCommieKender , 10 months ago

Really? I played 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 back in the day. Didn’t know any of the others had a boss that would work on

AngryCommieKender , 10 months ago

Oh you could pull that on him‽‽ Yeah he was in FF6. I had no clue that would work on him and I played that game within a couple months of release.

You mean like in every RPG since the 80’s?

Sanctus , 10 months ago

Except for RuneScape, Elder Scrolls, MAID, RAW DnD (multiple editions), Vampire the Masquerade, GURPS, and many more. Its a trope that I think originated from Warcraft (really unsure about that answer). But not really many RPGs do that according to their rules explicitly.

AngryCommieKender , 10 months ago

It started in D&D 2.0 for certain, might have been in 1.0 but I don’t remember. That predates Warcraft by a few months…

Also that’s the way it worked in 3.0 D&D. You had to cast “Cause [Intensity level] Wounds” to heal Undead. I dunno about 4th, but my friends that play 5th run it that way.

WarmSoda , 10 months ago

It’s in every jrpg since the NES

Sanctus , 10 months ago

Except ChronoTrigger, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Star Ocean, Phantasy Star, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Persona Series, Xenoblade, Pokemon, the list is much longer of those that don’t than those that do.

DragonTypeWyvern , 10 months ago

I don’t believe your claim is properly sourced with hard data BUT you’re on the right side of history

Undead are made with eviiiiillll magic and healing hurts them because it’s good magic.

Now, if want to go full “magic is a science because you get predictable results from consistent inputs” and start talking about reversed polarity zombies…

Ogre battle comes to mind!

I was so happy when I was finally able to BEFRIEND a ghost in the Pogrom forest .... only for a healer to accidentally kill ........

I recently started focusing a bit more on CRPG games, so this stuff is fairly new to me.

I can’t remember how often I tried to walk somewhere with my character mid-fight, only to be beaten to a pulp, because I forgot attacks of opportunity.

It more than once made me laugh at my stupidity, I absolutely love it

Kyrass , 10 months ago

Was thinking about Divinity Original Sin 2. Undeads heal with poison and take damage from healing

Sharpiemarker , 10 months ago

Yep. I messed Fane up good that way.

Mischala , 10 months ago

I’m currently replaying it. Here Fane, chug a potion, that’ll fix you rig… OH NO

I have this weird thing where I find it specifically funny when someone is using the “interrupted while talking” meme in text and cut the word off right on a letter that is silent in the word, making it sound funny when read aloud.

Aw man, the issues with positive and negative energies :)
