I'm ashamed to admit that I have never had the opportunity to play FFIII. With that said, I find the idea interesting. I wouldn't mind experimenting with it and see how it works. However at this time I can't envision where and why I would apply this technique in a "make or break" situation. I'm not sure I would want to sit there and watch my character take a beating while everyone else gets to do stuff. Although as a taru it would be fun to see my character actually survive such a beating!
