Elemental Resistance: Why Even Have It?

[Sadana]

its just a left over from 1.0... Yoshi doesnt really want it in the game

The first part would be my guess as well. I'm not familiar with any interview where Yoshi said he wouldn't use it; anyone know of one? I kind of wonder if elemental stuff was taken out for the same reason we have Fire 2 instead of Fira (for example), American players wouldn't "get it". /rollseyes

Ok I did a quick google search and found this:

Will the battle system ever include some sort of elemental weakness wheel? I don't like killing a fire element using fire. This will help with some of the "bland" battle system complaints.
Already addressed in live letter. Yoshida says it's better to make all classes viable for all content rather than exclude or prioritize classes for each fight.

This is about elemental wheel, but we discuss about elemental resistances.

"This enemy is ice element, attack it with fire for more damage and don't attack with wind" - elemental wheel
"This enemy is strong against fire, attack with all what you have but not with fire" - elemental resistances

During beta Yoshida wrote why he think that elemental resistances is better than a whole elemental wheel

The in-game elemental resistances don't quite work that way, it's player defence only, not enemy defence that counts. I bring up elemental wheels because it's related to elemental defences in general.
