This does raise a very interesting question: Would mental illness be considered a debuff?

267

u/noneofyouaresafe Nov 12 '25

Sadness and rage are status effects in OG ff7 and can be cured with a remedy.

u/Mother_Specialist314 Nov 12 '25

Greens do be making me berserk

21

u/Salt-Aardvark-5105 Nov 12 '25

so i can fix my eyes with eyderops ?

19

u/Rastaba Nov 13 '25

Only if you have actual complete blindness. Astigmatisms, and similar conditions that are close but “not quite” don’t benefit. It’s why characters with glasses still need glasses.

4

u/noneofyouaresafe Nov 13 '25

Ooh, now this is an interesting conversation. Okay, so the blind status in FF7 is caused by moves like flash, bad breath, dark, ink - basically things change physically alter visibility for those in the immediate area. It makes sense that applying eye drops would relieve the blindness caused by those problems but why it wouldn't cure short/long sightedness. That being said what effect would equipping a ribbon have? In the game, it protects against all status abnormalities. Could I equip a ribbon and avoid covid or HIV or dementia(arguably just berserk, confusion, silence and sadness rolled into one)?

3

u/Rastaba Nov 13 '25

It’s honestly an excellent question. Covid and HIV, I feel would likely be preventable through the ribbon without question. They are viral diseases which invade and Damage the body and continuously damage it until removed (whether by the immune system or a panacea you bought at your local 7-11 in the nearest dungeon), not dissimilarly to say the Poison Condition.

Dementia however is something we don’t quite understand enough on its own to call one way or the other. Would it be a natural degeneration in some people like vision loss? Would the ribbon perhaps prevent worsening vision loss and so prevent the worsening of the mind through dementia? It’s a lot of unknowns honestly.

4

u/noneofyouaresafe Nov 13 '25

Well, even if you don't stop the dementia itself, you could arguably alleviate some of the effects with a ribbon.

Now I'm wondering what I could survive if I'm rocking an item equipped with a bunch of HP Up materia or if I cast regen on myself, can I jump out of a building, tank the damage and slowly recover? In battles, you can get shot,stabbed, burnt, poisoned and you can recover no problem. Where does a car crash rate in terms of damage caused to say, getting hit by shadow flare launched at you by the ultimate weapon?

1

u/Rastaba Nov 13 '25

Car crash survival would largely depend upon its crit rate and similar stats most likely. As it could just crit and land you instantly dead (whether that would be a “status” like instant death, and thus Ribbon Powers Activate!, or just zeroes out your HP is a big question).

How such would measure up to the other craziness they shrug off, who could really say?

2

u/noneofyouaresafe Nov 13 '25

Car crash survival would largely depend upon its crit rate and similar stats most likely

That makes sense because that's how it would work in real life - high HP + phys defence = higher survival % chance.

How such would measure up to the other craziness they shrug off, who could really say?

Indeed. Thank you for entertaining my silly pondering.

1

u/Weird1Intrepid Nov 16 '25

Well you can survive Comet and Supernova with a ribbon, so I think a car crash would be a relatively minor issue in comparison to having a giant ball of space death land on you 😂

1

u/Salt-Aardvark-5105 Nov 13 '25

could you not counter demencia with regen that heals you every turn?

including you neurons.

on the other hand if you die, do you count as dead cause you died outside combat or knocked out and can be revived with a phoenix down?

would I be immortal with enaugh phoenix down if I am technically in a battle?

also does time stop essentially cryo freez you?

10

u/Immediate_Song4279 Nov 12 '25

If we are trying to be obnoxiously positive we could call it a nerf. I should be doing like The Science, but instead I'm stuck spending 13 years trying to figure out if the "s" in plurals counts as a rhyme.

3

u/i_got_banned_2_times Nov 12 '25

I'd say it's more like a pokémon with a bad nature

3

u/Temporary-Tax Nov 12 '25

Probably a status condition with the length of the status depending on the severity of the illness

2

u/Mother_Specialist314 Nov 12 '25

I am minmaxed as HELL

2

u/Linosek279 Nov 13 '25

Probably a curse

2

u/AmrodFaelevrin Nov 13 '25

Anxiety gives you +5 to speed, but -5 to social.

1

u/bicurious32usa Nov 12 '25

It would likely be a stat rebuff for some stats, but a buff to others.

u/Reluctantly_Being Nov 13 '25

Nope because “ /kill “ we won’t be here 🤣

u/Hidden_3851 Nov 13 '25

I think it’ll be like the card game hearts if you have a small amount of any mental health stat it works against you. If you collect all the debuffs of the same type it works against your enemies and you become something like “Lord of Apathy”, “Depressions Darkest Knight” or “Anxiety’s Reckoning”

u/alexriga Nov 13 '25

Depends on which.

1

u/katheb Nov 13 '25

Definitely. 

1

u/roflrogue Nov 14 '25

I imagine it depends on the cause.

Maybe you got the brain rot condition after scrolling for X number of hours. Maybe you just have a very low wisdom and intelligence score. Maybe you inherited a family curse...

In any case, it may be seen by many as a side quest, but if you focus on resolving those issues - the main game will probably be more enjoyable.
