The feet could be weak to piercing, the legs could be weak to blunt, the hands weak to slashing. Thus different types of attack would also be interesting. I feel this wouldn't be too hard (relative to the effort/reward ratio) to do for a boss fight or two, or maybe even a family of mobs.
It is clever, a nice throwback the the previous Final Fantasy games, and the only thing cooler would be suplexing a ghost train.
