Was it changed in ee? Was the stun protection a bug?

    I think the idea behind Free Action not working against stun is that stun is as much a mental impediment as it is a physical one.

    Yes, we got confirmation from Gaider that stun is supposed to be outside the scope of free action's protections.

    Stun is the only status ailment (sorry for the terminology, I grew up on FF games) that is still a serious threat later in the game. Remove Magic + (oops, PW:Stun is single target) Symbol:Stun can leave your entire party helpless in an instant if they're clumped, or just your melee if you've spread out already.

    I want a Ribbon that protects against all negative statuses. :(

    That does sound JRPGish to me ;)

    It's not my fault...when I started playing games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior and Crystalis on the NES, we didn't bother calling them JRPGs simply because they were the only kind of RPG around. :)
