>my dick works on your mom

It always pissed me off when games make boes immune to status. There is almost no point in using something like poison on a grunt and the boss is immune to it, so poison is rendered useless.

I agree with you, I mean, I have nothing against having a boss immune to a specific ststus effect if it makes sense with his character or story, but other than that, I agree.
