Don't know what you're talking about, but shrinking has been in the Final Fantasy series since forever.

Yep iv done everything when i said not in ARR i mean it was not always until 2.0 then it stuck around. And it was funny in hildi but after it became a bit random. The hildibrand quest started it in ARR but it was made out to be a joke as it also started the frogging but after that they made shrinking a big part of the game ST when you get shrunk you feel like a jack ass for missing and in WOD you have no other way to kill the boss

So, Yoshi-P has a 'thing' for shrinking because he's been truer to classic FF spells than whoever it was that managed 1.0?

I think you're projecting.

Do you mean 1.x? because ARR is 2.0-2.55.

Mini and such have existed in like...every FF except maybe 10, 12, and 13 -- and they might have existed in these too, I just never encountered them lol.

And it is not just Yoshi who has a thing for shrink spells; it is just about every MMORPG out there because it makes for a somewhat-debilitating fight mechanic. If it weren't for guides and stuff, most peeps suddenly shrinking would freak out for the first ~10s XD

You know, in several FF games, you could purposely Mini, Kappa(Imp), Pig, and just play the game that way.

Having such "debuff"'s in the game would be something people could do for their own sillyness. Chicken, Imp and Mini are in the game.

There's also things like Vampire and Zombie which are debuffs that make you unkillable albeit hard to control/keep-"alive", since it reverses or ignores the healing buff. So there are strategies that could involve those, but they're not likely to be purposeful things players use.

Mini spells have been around since FF3 actually. You needed it to progress through certain areas. And you can tell how much ff14 devs love FF3 given the whole Crystal Tower sidestory.

Otherwise, this isn't anything from the norm in any game really. The fact that you're focusing on it so intently is far more suspect.

The only fights that involve mini spells are the throwback to earlier titles. Mini, among with other spells, was in FFV (where Gilgamesh is from) and FFIII where the Crystal Tower is from, so it's just one more reference to the different spell list used in those games.

IMO, take the Mini hammer to the logical extreme, bop someone (in your party) with it, and they turn into a SD (super-deformed) version, mini body, big head.

Does 1 damage with physical attacks, any physical attack received does 99999 (but has a 99% chance of missing, not immune to magic. Also reduces range for all skills to mini-sizes) Use it to get through one specific kind of gated content in the game (like FF3(original not 6.)) Bop again to restore. For play balance reasons, using in a battle on a party member where it's not meant to be used would inflict the normal debuff timer for mini. Using the hammer on a trash monster would also be possible if the skill cast isn't interrupted. Outside of combat it could be used anytime.

And if you want to add a "more fun" aspect to it, add some mini-emotes like "sit on target's shoulder", "sit on target's head", "hug target's ankle" if in the party.

I've never seen or heard of that game, but somehow I'm not surprised to see it.

The fight with Yunalesca in FFX is a good example of using zombie as strategy. For those who didn't fight her (Didn't play or make it that far) in a later stage she starts zombifying your party, but she also has a move that instnnt kills anyone not zombied, and healing hurts you while zombied. IT was careful manageing of who was zombied at any given time to avoid a wipe and dieing from other damage.
