Stop Bracelet is so incredibly cheap that I can't even stand it.  And don't give me any of that "well orlandu can kill in one hit too" crap -- I don't use Orlandu. ^_^

Any of the assassin skills are the most annoying, really.  It's especially frustrating when they can choose between Stop and Death, both at 100%, and you can't block both of them.  Graaaagh.

I'm with Neal on this one.  Stop Bracelet is extremely annoying, especially since it's very difficult to block or become immune to.  (Unlike similar instant-death attacks in other FF games.)  Those two Assassins guarding Elmdor really made the fights against him tough, especially since they had a penchant for immediately killing my best fighters.

The runner-up goes to another attack already mentioned, which is Blood Suck.  Although not really dangerous, it was really, really annoying.  Interesting that both my choices have to do with the Elmdor battles.

I hated Shadow Stitch, Stop Bracelet, and Allure. God damn the Assassins. Allure you from far away and make you attack your friends, Shadow Stitch from far away and make you stopped, walk over and Stop Bracelet you and you die. Blech.

i never had trouble with the assassins...they are really weak and never get a chance to get off a good spell.  it was just tough to get them to ultima ramza in the first battle...

the most annoying non-status attack in FFT is any attack that breaks your equipment  >_<

ya putting in such a cheap character made the game not fun
so i played without him too. not only that they gave him an
excalibur which is super cheap, isnt the excalibur soppose to be
like a ledendary weapon?
its like "Hi my name is orlandu and i just happen to have one
of the most powerful and rarest weapons in my inventory!"
SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:
it also made meliadoul not so great cause you get
her AFTER you get orlandu"


well im going to have to say Choco Meteor! everytime they do
it on me it like takes double the amount of hp my character
has, so you better save before you fight army of red
chocobos..

Hmm, I have a couple:

Mind Blast
Seal
Poison Frog
Allure
Blaster
Choco Meteor

I only hate them when they're used against me, though. I love them otherwise.

I totally agree with that... those are the worst attacks to go up against and they can get really annoying when every enemy in the fight has at least one of those attacks. GRRR!!!!!
Edit
Wait, wait... it's not Power Wrist that I hate (I don't remember that one), I hate Stop Bracelet... ugh, horrible thing to let an enemy have!

Don't get me wrong, i love this attack, but personally i find Night Sword to be pretty annoying, especially during the 1 on 1 between Ramza and Gafgarion. Seriously though? Choco Attack. Yeah, i know you're all laughing now, but long has that attack tormented me and my party in the early levels at Mandalia Plains, as i try in vain to level up my fragile thieves (attempting to prepare them for an all lancer party). Back then i had a little rule for myself about chocobo fighting...

1 Chocobo: use caution.

2 chocobos: use EXTREME caution, prepare for major frustration

3 chocobos or more (later on, that all-chocobo random battle in particular): Swear a string of profanities at the overgrown pigeons, turn off the PS2, and turn it on again

Choco cure is annoying too dry.gif and... choco meteor... and choco ball... see why i dislike chocobos?

Does anyone NOT remember Dispose, Compress, drill, etc.
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
When your trying to get the Javalin II and the shield (The gold escallion <-- Spelling)

Those were EXTREMELY annoynig when you were trying to lower your characters brave level so he could jump up on those pillars and find those items. Especially with those Cockatrice flying around with Feather bomb!


Gah now Im all flustered!

You have made me paranoid over chocobo battles this time through the game.

I've gotten over the fear I had of Knights' Break skills in my early days of playing FFT; so long as I can buy the equipment at a store, I don't mind losing it anymore.

That said, the move that I've recently found to be very annoying is Crush Punch.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view
Wiegraf, the first time I fight him in the windmill battle, always seems to get extremely lucky with Crush Punch and levels one or two characters with it.

I hate Summon magic when it is being used against me. Especially that Shiva....
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
That is why I keep losing whenever I get to Goug. Those Summoners always launch an attack at me first chance they get, which kills my chemists, which (since I didin't level up enough to have summoners of my own) caused me to lose because they also usually kill the chemist in my party who knows Phoenix Down first,and since I didin't level up, only the chemists can use guns, so I lose the long range advantage, and since Mustadio is useless without his gun, that is a major disability!And I hate Rudvich for that!!
D@*% those Summoners!!!!

His nickname is "Thunder God Cid." That should tell you something about how good he is, and how deserving he is to have a weapon like Excalibur at his side tongue.gif Not ONLY is he incredibly beefy, as indicated by the Thunder God part, but he's important enough to be the Cid of FFT, a character in almost every FF game ever. Nobody else in that game is cool enough to get an excalibur. He's a HOLY SWORDSMAN for crying out loud! You don't get those honors without having traveled around a bit and, you know, found some extra rare weaponry.

I hate the special attack from those squid-like enemies that confuses or berserks your characters. I dislike it mostly because that attack can hit more than one person.
