    I mean when I see a a boss use Voice or Shriek, it's really annoying to not be able to silence it...at least every once in a while.

    Being able to silence Shriek would make the fight quite different.

    Problem is, voice and shriek are the primary mechanics for that boss. If they could be silenced, the prevailing strategy for the fight would just be "put the bard and SCH on a silence rotation and interrupt every voice/shriek unless there's a renaud up."

    Unless they just made it a building resistance, then the fight would be about just using it on shrieks so you didn't have to deal with Renauds other than using voice to 1 shot them. It would still require a fair amount of timing, and possibly cause some groups trouble if they didn't have a petrified Renaud up for a missed/immune silence. Obviously just because you CAN cancel a move doesn't mean you have to or should.

    The more I think about it, there are still a decent number of places where specific status ailments work, but only in places where it is 100% designed to be a part of the fight mechanic, such as silencing ADS so everyone doesn't get PARAed.
